Organisation/Company

The endless possibilities of creative endeavors, seeing some of these being realised and watching audiences being transported

Rohe

I am currently located in the Gold Coast , Queensland - on the land of the Kombumerri families of the Yugambeh language region.

How I got where I am today

I have worked in the arts for over 30 years, starting my career in youth arts in South Australia, to heading up the Melbourne Fringe, then to Sydney, to programming contemporary culture at Sydney Opera House, freelance producing nationally and internationally and now find myself on the Gold Coast, heading up programming for a dynamic Cultural precinct, HOTA. ( Home of The Arts )

Whānau

My local work family consist of a wonderful team at HOTA, bringing diverse skills and knowledge to the table. But my arts family are spread around Australia and across the globe. I could not have survived this many years working in the arts without the support of my colleagues, creatives and administrators, sharing our passion for the arts.
