FTOCA Residence
Located an hour from Melbourne, Forest Theatre of Contemplative Art (FTOCA) is based in the Fryers Ridge Fauna and Flora Conserve in the Central Goldfields.
​
We are a not-for-profit theatre company. Our activities extend beyond this to include bread making, cooking, gardening, contemplative retreats, gatherings of a spiritual nature, guided walks, musical concerts, poetry recitals, philosophical and creative workshops, and regular women's and men's circles.
​​
Our Philosophy
The Forest Theatre of Contemplative Art aims to cultivate a space where people are invited to practice ‘Conscious Attention’. Through reflection upon the inner and outer world of self, the awareness of ‘Conscious Attention’ is discovered.
​
With open hearts, the sacredness of being with oneself and interconnected with one another, we learn to inhabit our highest presence with the flow of creativity.
​
Together we aim for our artistic efforts to be actualised.
