DESPERATE MEASURE is a Naarm/Melbourne-based production company specialising in experimental performance work.

Our work crash lands at the intersection of disruption, participation, activism, research, and entertainment.

From one-on-one to large-scale, staged theatre to durational live art, we investigate various aspects of apocalyptic doom.

Desperate Measure was founded in late 2023.

The curatorial practice of DESPERATE MEASURE is based on a vision of our inevitable demise – A Hauntological Dramaturgy – where the apocalyptic and dramatic combine for a catastrophic site of action and interaction.
