2023 - Marri Madung Butbut (Many Brave Hearts) for Sydney WorldPride

“Here I find the heart and soul of the festival ... The six-day festival inside a festival is worthy of a Nobel Prize for its ability to bring community to the normally austere environment of Carriageworks. Queer peoples and cultures come together as part of the largest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander global First Nation LGBTQIA+SB programme to take place in Australia. Defined as a party, a giant artwork, and a gift to the people of Sydney, the Gathering Space brought First Nation queer artists and allies together to share their artistry and voices for the world to hear.” - Jeremy Goldstein, The Queer Review

2018 - Next Wave Festival, Melbourne

“What's on the minds of the next next wave of artists? They're looking backwards as often as they are to the future. This festival saw a heavy emphasis on rituals and traditions, reckoning with real histories and forging new myths…Next Wave 2018 was the most rewardingly diverse the festival has ever been; a sharp rebuke to the top-down culture that attempts to divide the arts into two categories of “excellence” and “accessibility” - John Bailey, The Age

2023 - Blak Lodge First Nations Hub for Melbourne Fringe

“Ballardong Noongar woman Erica McCalman has almost two decades of festival experience. ‘I’ve always been really, really fond of festivals, they’re my favourite F word… their potency for me is about creating alternate realities, or poking a little hole in the space-time continuum just to glimpse how things could be different.’

McCalman believes the key to any great festival is its hubs. ‘You can have a yarn, like minds coming together and swapping stories or having a gossip…the business in the foyer or out the back in those third spaces is as important as the shows.“ - Stephen A. Russell, The Age

2024 - Tarot Futures for Next Wave

“A SWOT analysis for the soul, specifically designed for emerging artists, curators and arts workers. This ain't no fortune teller. This is an empowering, energising consultation with the cards. Cut through the claptrap and find your creative strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats with Tarot Oracle.“

2017 - Lukautim Solwara (look out for the ocean) Next Wave x ACCA for Asia TOPA

“The energy of these artists and the unique aesthetics of their mediums brought an exhilarating quality to the space. The atmosphere became an intense and ethereal paradigm merging past, present and future timelines. But the real success of Lukautim Solwara was in its ability to make audiences see the artwork of the Sovereignty exhibition in a new light. Where a work felt enlivened by the energy of the performance, the space felt tangibly activated and its impact was profound.” Nitya Iyer, Peril

2018- Bighouse Dreaming by Declan Furber-Gillick

“Furber-Gillick’s vision is strong and the narrative is succinct. It’s a meaty script and the character profiling is stark and real... Audience members will experience a discomfort so generously and bravely presented, as a very real consequence of our failing justice system against first nations people and youth. The final scene continues to haunt me, and this performance will no doubt inspire many overdue conversations.“ Alice Mooney, Theatre Travels
