12 adventurous theatre companies deliver 12 distinct performances in continuous rotation, from March 17 to March 21st, at 7 PM. Flutter from one site-specific show to the next, with DJs, dancing and more theatrical social networking.

All of the HIVE 3 shows are built from scratch in the Centre for Digital Media Warehouse at the Great Northern Way Campus. Each company chooses an area of the warehouse that inspires them, and builds into it the specific needs for their particular show.

Each of the 12 companies involved with HIVE3 create their own site-inspired, installation-based performance piece, set in and around a fun-filled, central cafe/bar. Stick around after the shows for live music and drinks in a party atmosphere for artists and patrons alike.
