Play Theatre Games in the Park! (Parramatta)

Join us at Parramatta River Walk to play Theatre Games with friendly and awesome people! Afterwards, we go for a drink at a nearby pub. Everyone is welcome, no matter your level of Improv expertise! For an example of the type of fun that can go on in our days see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23t0evG3xI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23t0evG3xI) There is a $3 fee per event, or you can pay a $25 annual membership fee. This covers the costs of running the group. The fee can be paid in person, or by transferring to the following account: Name: Theatre Games BSB: 923 100 Acc No: 313632027 Use your name in the reference line so the Treasurer can keep track of your contribution. If you choose to pay the annual membership fee, it would be a great help to us if you would note your membership start date, and renew your membership when needed. This will avoid us spending time on account-keeping, which means we can instead focus on making the games as fun as possible! We have Facebook and Instagram pages, on which we post group photos and occasionally other announcements. Feel free to Like :) [https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/](https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/) [https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney](https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney?fbclid=IwAR2fMlbCnv1PVQXX0xO7d6d_4mMDsXtT3dcs1awToamKK-ag1AAQhVYyPLQ) **FAQ** **Location & Parking** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yed3pMB9eC1oeAXA7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yed3pMB9eC1oeAXA7) Between Church St and Sorrell St. Near the river. Down the stairs from the Riverside Theatre and to the east along the path. If you have trouble finding us, please post in the event comments as we'll keep an eye on this. Parking is free and usually ample in northern Parramatta, in Sorrell Street and surrounding streets to the north of the river. **Instructional videos for newcomers** For those completely new to the concept of theatre games or improvisation, you might find the following instructional videos helpful to you: 1. The importance of facing the audience in the right way [https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA](https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA) 2\. The importance of not saying "no" to everything in a scene: [https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8](https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8) **Why is my status saying "Unpaid" even though I have paid?** This is due to a bad design feature of the Meetup website, please ignore it! **Keeping up with the latest news and related fun events** Go to our Facebook Discussion Group. This is a fun way to share improv/comedy clips, discuss improv and generally chat with the cool members of our group! [https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450) **What if it rains?** The bridge has been chosen for this reason! A large concrete apron exists under the bridge - easily measuring 5 metres deep and at least 10m long. More than enough space to perform in and yet still provide shelter from rain. **Can you help promote my event / group / cult?** Yes.. but within reason! We love to help our members who are doing awesome and creative projects. The problem is that because we get asked to promote things so often, we cannot do so via social media posts. As this would cause our members to be "spammed" and announcements about upcoming events to get buried. However, there are still two ways we can help to promote your project. Firstly, please feel free to post on our Facebook Discussion group. Secondly, you are also welcome to post in our [Meetup Forum](https://www.meetup.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park/discussions/), where your post may be seen by our 1,800+ members. Lastly, we may be able to help in additional ways if you wish to share an opportunity for our members to perform. In this case we may be able to send a Meetup Message to our members, or to announce it in person at our events. **What if I have other questions?** If possible please post any questions in the comments area below rather than directly messaging us, so that others can see the answer too. This will allow us to spend less time answering messages, and more time making the games as fun as possible!

Bondi Surfwear sunset shoot with Leo

Join us for *Bondi Surfwear - Sunset edition*, a sunset swimwear shoot set against the raw, sculpted rock formations of North Bondi.

This workshop is designed for photographers looking to build bold, editorial-style imagery that highlights men's surfwear in a striking coastal setting.

What you'll explore: * Surfwear styling and direction in challenging natural terrain * Capturing golden hour tones and working with reflective light * Framing with rock formations, ocean spray, and horizon lines * Balancing softness and strength in open-air coastal fashion **Who Should Attend:** Photographers, stylists, and creatives seeking to enhance their portfolio with premium coastal editorial content. **Spaces are limited – step into the light and capture the edge** We are no longer taking payments via PayPal - tickets can only be purchased through [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/street-shoots-4838530), [Humanitix](https://collections.humanitix.com/street-beach-workshops) or the [website](https://printpixel.org/events/category/streetshoot/list/).

📸 PHOTO WALK: Sydney framed

**Framing is the art of using elements within a scene—archways, foliage, or window panes—to create a "frame within a frame." It draws the eye to your subject and adds depth to the composition.** Expect a high-contrast journey through Chippendale, where the brutalist steel of modern towers meets the vintage brick textures of Sydney’s industrial past. Walk, shoot, and connect with photographers & creators as we explore the hidden "back-lane" galleries of **Sydney**. Beginners, enthusiasts, and pros — all are welcome. –––––––––– **EVENT DETAILS** **Location:** Central Park → Chippendale Alleys → Redfern **Date:** 30.05.2026 **Time:** 15:00 – 17:30 **Meeting Point:** **[Starbucks, Central Park Mall.](https://maps.app.goo.gl/uRRDP4SHYPqzvHmo7)** **Address:** 28 Broadway, Chippendale NSW 2008. We’ll meet at the outdoor plaza right in front of the main mall entrance, underneath the "hanging gardens." –––––––––– **EVENT FLOW** **15:00** \| Meet & Connect We’ll gather at the plaza, introduce the "Framing" theme, and use the geometric glass shadows of the mall for our first exercise. **15:15** \| Main Walk Navigating the narrow "Kensington Street" corridor and the ivy-covered warehouse walls of Chippendale during the best afternoon light. **17:30** → Optional social hour at a local brewery or a hidden small bar in Redfern as the city lights come on. –––––––––– **IMPORTANT** This isn’t a class. It’s not a tour. It’s a creative meetup. We’ll walk. We’ll shoot. We’ll connect. –––––––––– **WHAT TO EXPECT** Bring your: • Film camera • Digital camera • Smartphone • Curiosity Whether you're a beginner, seasoned photographer, content creator, or just creatively curious — you’re welcome here. Come solo or bring friends.
