SUMMARY:Carers Retreat Day
DESCRIPTION:A chance to step away from the demands of home and caring\, because sometimes it is much easier to truly switch off when you’re somewhere different. A peaceful environment\, fewer responsibilities and time in nature\, can create space to exhale\, rest\, reset and reconnect with yourself\, rather than always being the person looking after everyone else. Gentle wellbeing\, somatic and nervous system activities to help you slow down\, settle and feel more regulated\nNature based and creative activities\, with plenty of unstructured time to rest\, read\, wander or simply do nothing\nBeautiful bushland surroundings and a beach just a few minutes’ walk away\nConnection with other carers who understand some of the realities of caring\, without needing to explain everything\nLunch included\, so there is less to organise and think about

SUMMARY:The Manager is Me
DESCRIPTION:If you’re a mum\, carer or just chronically over-capacity\, The Manager Is Me is for you. \nThis hilarious\, unhinged 55-minute mix of comedy\, poetry and theatre is about the invisible labour of caring for everyone else while quietly losing track of yourself. \nWritten and performed by 2025 Victorian Champion of the Australian Poetry Slam\, Dayna Fallon\, the show draws on her own experience of caring for her husband through complex health issues while raising three young children and working. \nIt’s for the people who are expected to be high-performing at work\, at home and everywhere in between\, while also somehow being the accountant\, teacher\, nurse\, counsellor\, organiser\, emotional support crew and goddamn magician. \nBecause somehow\, these can be the best days of your life\, and still be the days that nearly finish you. \nFunny first\, but with real emotional weight underneath\, The Manager Is Me shines a spotlight on carers and the extraordinary practical and emotional work that so often goes unseen. \nAt its heart\, it’s about what happens when the person holding everything together starts coming apart\, and about helping carers feel seen. \nThe Manager Is Me is performing at The Salon\, The Motley Wherehaus\, as part of Melbourne Fringe 2026.

SUMMARY:The Manager is Me
DESCRIPTION:The Manager Is Me is a funny\, moving solo theatre work about the invisible labour of caring\, parenting\, working and somehow trying to hold onto yourself in the middle of it all. \nWritten and performed by 2025 Victorian Australian Poetry Slam Champion Dayna Fallon\, the show draws on her own experience of caring for her husband through complex health issues while raising three young children and working. \nThrough comedy\, spoken word and theatre\, The Manager Is Me shines a light on the emotional and practical work carers do every day — often quietly\, often behind closed doors\, and often without even thinking of themselves as carers. \nIt is a show about being the person everyone relies on\, making people laugh when things are falling apart\, and what happens when the person doing all the caring finally needs care too. \nFunny first\, but with real emotional weight underneath\, The Manager Is Me aims to help carers feel seen and to encourage audiences to recognise the caring work happening around them every day. \nPerforming at The Salon\, The Motley Wherehaus\, as part of Melbourne Fringe 2026.

SUMMARY:The Manager is Me
DESCRIPTION:If you’re a mum\, carer or just chronically over-capacity\, The Manager Is Me is for you. \nThis hilarious\, unhinged 55-minute mix of comedy\, poetry and theatre is about the invisible labour of caring for everyone else while quietly losing track of yourself. \nWritten and performed by 2025 Victorian Champion of the Australian Poetry Slam\, Dayna Fallon\, the show draws on her own experience of caring for her husband through complex health issues while raising three young children and working. \nIt’s for the people who are expected to be high-performing at work\, at home and everywhere in between\, while also somehow being the accountant\, teacher\, nurse\, counsellor\, organiser\, emotional support crew and goddamn magician. \nBecause somehow\, these can be the best days of your life\, and still be the days that nearly finish you. \nFunny first\, but with real emotional weight underneath\, The Manager Is Me shines a spotlight on carers and the extraordinary practical and emotional work that so often goes unseen. \nAt its heart\, it’s about what happens when the person holding everything together starts coming apart\, and about helping carers feel seen. \nThe Manager Is Me is performing at The Salon\, The Motley Wherehaus\, as part of Melbourne Fringe 2026.
