Creative Expressions

My practice explores the synergy between physical interpretation, social commentary and intimate reflection that assumes a role in political dialogue, consciousness raising and social justice. I seek to create theatre that can be utilised as an agent for change, seeking to inspire and challenge in the hope that audiences will continue to reflect on the themes presented and consider their perspectives accordingly.

Collaborations

My work in government, community and independent arts practice has involved teaching in various capacities; formally through the education system as well as running workshops for NGO’s, women’s groups and legal organisations. My collaborations and projects have involved a diversity of communities such as artists, rural and regional youth, CALD communities, survivors of sexual abuse, women, newly arrived immigrants and children.

About

My involvement in the independent arts sector has primarily been as a director, writer and producer. Interspersed with my arts practice are my additional mantles of tertiary educator, arts facilitator, arts strategy and policy developer and artist mentor. I also work in areas of program management, program operations, stakeholder engagement, funding programs and sponsorship, strategic planning and policy development.

 

Well hello. I believe it is important for the work of women to hold space in the public arena: to offer examples of our work, our passions, our contributions to the world we share. My journey is one of creativity, adding to the myriad of color and texture of all that there is. My comments reflect my inspirations, the teachings of others and my experiences of the world around me. I hope by sharing my work you take whatever resonates and utilise in some capacity in your own life.
warm regards Karen
