SUDS X POC Revue Rough Cuts
When: Tuesday August 15th, 7pm
Where: The Cellar Theatre
What is Rough Cuts?
A SUDS tradition, Rough Cuts is an open mic night any and all the opportunity to perform a short piece of their choice. Perform anything and everything! From prepared songs, to monologues, to old powerpoints from school! It’s a very low-stakes environment. This Rough Cuts will be in collaboration with POC Revue as a part of our POC workshops week, running from August 15th to 19th featuring a range of POC artists hosting workshops on their experience with a variety of production roles available in SUDS.
What is POC Revue?
People of Colour (PoC) Revue is an autonomous society and a found family for PoC-identifying creatives with a love of performing arts, laughter, and embracing cultural identities. Always aiming high to provide opportunities for creatives of colour, we're excited to bring a night of spontaneity, showmanship and culture alongside SUDS!

The Cellar can be found on Science Road: find the Host Co. sign, directly across from the carpark. There is a path to the left of the sign and the stairs that will take you under an archway. Follow that path and you’ll arrive!
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY:
SUDS acknowledges that the University of Sydney and the Cellar Theatre reside on stolen land; the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. As a society that exists to tell stories, it is important to acknowledge that stories were being told on this land for thousands of years before British colonisation. SUDS pays respect to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded – Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land.
