- Des and Tam are members of a cleanup crew in a strange toxic wasteland. It's a lousy job, but it's the best they can get, and it may just get them what they want. But when they randomly come across what may be the wasteland's last human survivor, these lowly cleaners will have to decide between getting what they were working for, and doing what is right. 'Oddlands' is a story about two unlikely heroes who manage to find a little humanity in the strangest of places. The question is, what will they do when they find it?

- FIRST RESPONDERS began in 2020 as a Back to Back Theatre residency in Nelson Park School, a Special School for students diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability in Geelong, with a planned live performance outcome. COVID-19 saw the residency transfer to online delivery with the initial 12 students reduced to four, with a short animation outcome. The original theme, "a guide on how to survive the future", posited that disadvantaged youth possess valuable opinions. This adapted to FIRST RESPONDERS being "a team of young knowledge experts, providing an uncertain public with a survival guide to the future". The materials created at the start of the residency were able to be developed through remote workshops into the basis of short animations. The creative process is a collaboration between the student/s and the artistic team. The students supply the episode's theme and content, based upon their interests and their responses to provocations. They work with the creative team on making the animation. Each student has the final say on the outcome.The creative team collaborated with Art Gusto, a supported art studio for artists, including those who identify as having a disability, who created additional illustrations for the animations. First Responders is a 20-part series, which features a group of unlikely experts who are on a mission to help answer any questions that you may have about the future. Have you got big questions? If so, they've got the answers! From love, to landscaping, to... parallel universes and everything in between, these First Responders are on the case, and they're here to help you face the future! Created in collaboration with 13-17-year old's who identify as being neuro diverse, First Responders utilizes a unique writing process that involves interviewing and capturing the young artists verbal response to the themes of a world in transition. Their audio formed the majority of the dialogue and soliloquy of the animation. In the First Responders series, our neuro diverse co-authors are represented as avatars of themselves, as knowledge assets and heroes of a community. Each episode is characterised by a new emergency that The First Responders must respond to, as well as manage their own internal differences, short fallings, egos and conflicts of opinion; their idiosyncratic understanding of everything from physics to philosophy may be all the human race has to liberate it from fear and misinform.
- 'Aarhus Stories' is the result of an untraditional partnership between film directors and song writers. The song writers' songs replace the traditional manuscript and challenge the director in an entirely new way. The films have all been shot in Aarhus in 24 hours, and they all last three to ten minutes. Giant Sand front man, Howe Gelb from Tucson, Arizona and artistic director Bruce Gladwin from the Australian theatre company, Back to Back Theatre, are the men behind this alternative Aarhus Story.
