In 2018 Nerida worked alongside Red Leap Theatre Artistic Director Julie Nolan to remount and rechoreograph this award winning production for the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. Not only did Nerida play a key creative role, she also performed in the work utilizing physical theatre, dance and puppetry skills.

See giant ships fly through the air and foreign tongues thrive in this strange and wondrous place. Curious puppetry and physical theatre combine with breathtaking sets, whimsical props and a remarkable soundscape to tell the touching story.

InĀ The Arrival, a man flees his homeland and journeys across vast seas to arrive in a brand new place. There he negotiates dazzling architecture, bizarre foods and foreign tongues to build a new life. On his travels, the man meets fellow strangers, each with their own tales to tell.

This moving production will touch anyone who has ever had to start anew or bid farewell to a loved one.
