Join us for the second edition of PACT Underground 2025!
PACT Underground: GENERATOR has been curated by Theo Carroll and Milo McLaughlin, in collaboration with our brilliant BOH technicians Anwyn Brook Evans, Juan Guillermo Robayo Gómez, Ró Sín and Sonnet Cure.
The afternoon will bring together DJs, performance, and installation work that highlights the creative energy of the PACT team. For the first time, Underground will take place almost entirely in the courtyard and shed - we wanted to give our resident generator their moment. Ticket sales from PACT Underground go entirely to the artists, so come along and support some awesome local talent! BBQ on the deck will be kicking throughout the event.

Anwyn Brook Evans
From a Theatre Degree and first learning the ropes in the Arts Technician community in grassroots event spaces, to becoming a technician for the last two Sydney Festival seasons, and now working permanently as a Technician for ‘Amigo & Amigo’ and ‘PACT Centre for Emerging Artists’ - Anwyn fell in love with the underlying storytelling that flows through lighting and audio. The way that Lighting pieces and lighting shows can elevate spaces, works, stories and connect with community in universally shared and understood ways (through our common connection to colours, shades, temperatures and sounds) and the way sound encourages us to explore, flow and play and most importantly come together joyfully in unison as a crowd is something that motivates Anwyn to work with a lot of heart within the industry. She has worked on incredible projects at many Theatre companies, Festivals and venues around Sydney and is deeply excited to showcase a selection of chosen DJS and work for PACT (insert name of event here) coming up on the 7th of June. Working at PACT has been a tremendous pleasure and honour for Anwyn and to learn and create within a team that holds the values and encompasses the ethos of uplighting emerging artists and stories and supporting local is a wonderful experience.

Event Lineup INCLUDES
Sweet Boy Sonnet presents her first piece of performance art, "In my bedroom". The work is a voyeuristic exhibition of someone privately playing music and wallowing in their bedroom. When you are alone you act differently, and this work is a cathartic look into what pain looks like for us when no one is watching. The work is split between a bedroom and a projector. It juxtaposes the flashy performance that is happening in the performer's head with the intimate and anti-climactic viewing of that same bedroom devoid of the music and closeup camera. It is important to wallow sometimes, and be an absolute wreck.
Juan Guillermo Robayo Gómez presents Ashbodies
Ashbodies is an installation work in the PACT Gallery. The sensitivity of light appears in the kiss between celluloid and the fire of two bodies. Visual poems about the body — thoughts that shape it, the body as a site of thought, and the ashes left behind after the body is touched by reflection.
Anwyn Brook Evans presents a curated set-list of DJs including INSPECTOR FROG, JANE DECKS, FISHING DAD and KAFI.
Ró Sín presents … to be announced soon!
