The Crack Up Sisters
The Crackup Sisters are country born sisters who tell stories of country Australia. They perform a unique blend of Australian country comedy, stock whip cracking and knockabout acrobatics.
Trained in circus, dance, stock whip-cracking, theatre, storytelling, knockabout acrobatics, aerial stunts and comedy, they bring a wealth of knowledge to the stage.
Winners of the QRRRN Storyteller of the Year Award, The Crackup Sisters, S.T.Ruth and Twiggs, are comedic representations of all women from all walks of life. They promote everyone getting in and giving it a go, the feats, the failings and the reality of people on the land. They take their stories around Australia to remind everyone to not take life to seriously and to get in and have a go – no matter how silly it may feel.
The Crack Up Sisters will perform Workshops each day at their homestead venue on Elderslie Street.
