About us
Pigeon Pigeon is an independent theatre collective making queer experimental work from our home in Narrm (Melbourne).
Send us fan mail 💌We make and produce work which could be described by a few of these adjectives: queer, site-specific, verbatim, stunning, accessible, weird, and soft. It’s a theatre which is intimate, soaked in sentimentality, and like our avian namesakes, found in the city’s cracks.
Here's what we've been up to
In 2024 we presented our debut work: FUTURE at Melbourne Fringe which received ★★★★☆ from Artshub.
In 2025 we presented at Melbourne Fringe: The Shore Remembers by Olivia Fisher, a binaural sound work exploring the human impact on coastal areas, and I Promise This Isn't About You (Even If It Feels Like It Is) which took home the Crowd Pleaser Award, was nominated for two Green Room Awards for its writing and direction, and had a raft of ★★★★☆ reviews.
In 2026 we're presenting Fuck Your Funding at Melbourne Fringe, a furious new play about arts funding and the state of theatre. We're also bringing back I Promise This Isn't About You (Even If It Feels Like It Is) for an encore season in the carpark where it all began.
A little about us
Pigeon Pigeon is led by theatre-makers Ryan Hamilton and Georgie Wolfe, but we love to be collaboratively promiscuous. Georgie and Ryan were recipients of the Emerging Company Incubator Award at Melbourne Fringe (2023) for Full Cream.
Ryan Hamilton (he/they) is an award-winning Narrm-based theatre-maker and producer interested in queer, site-specific, & documentary theatre which makes the world a little better, queerer, and fatter. Ryan’s performance career peaked at the age of 12 as a volunteer dancer in the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Opening Ceremony.
Georgie Wolfe (she/they) is an award-winning Narrm-based theatremaker and designer interested in reimagining the role that technical design plays in the creation of new work. In another life she is an environmental scientist studying the climate change induced rise of jellyfish.
Our current mascot pigeons were designed by a dear friend of ours, Geo Valentine (@siqtrix). The pigeons use any pronouns and spend their time eating worms and being gay. We love them and hope you do too!
