Red Rattler Theatre |
The Red Rattler Theatre is located in Marrickville NSW, an 8 minute walk from Sydenham Railway Station.
Run by artists and activists, The Red Rattler is a newly founded creative playground for performers, musicians, artists, designers, multi-media makers, experimentalists, film-makers, theorists, activists, collective organisers, and local punters, fitted with a full PA, stage, LED lighting rig, projector and screen, licensed bar, two non-residential artist studios, and a rooftop garden.
The Red Rattler operates a not-for-profit philosophy, with a tiered fee structure being charged to community users to cover regular outgoings only. Guests are asked to contribute a 50c donation to an eco-plan to run the space largely on renewable water and energy sources.
Located in an industrial area (originally called Tramvale Estate in the early 1900s) and in close proximity to Sydenham station, the name of the theatre is inspired by the old Red Rattler trains. Carriages were open plan with long bench seats, the trains were a bit noisy, clickerty clack on the tracks. Whilst the rattle refers to us trying to shake things up a bit in terms of accessible venues and creative spaces in Sydney, the colour red has long associations with left politics, revolution and anarchism.
