The Good Decisions Project is a new multi-disciplinary theatre project exploring the varying states of our mental health, the intricacies of our thought processes in decision-making, and what defines a ‘good decision’. Through three interconnecting storylines, this experimental play offers a fresh perspective of how our daily choices, no matter how big or small, can shape us as we navigate everyday hardships.

Interweaving live performance, film and animation, we reflect and ponder: What do we choose to remember? How do we choose to move forward? In our rapid-paced and ever-changing world, there is never a shortage of decisions.

This project was presented by award-winning multi-disciplinary artist Danielle Lim as part of our Rising Out Of Water Project during the 2024 OzAsia Festival. Its world premiere is proudly supported by ActNow Theatre through their 2025 Adelaide Fringe MakeSpace Residency, ARTS UNLIMITED, Arts South Australia and Independent Arts Foundation.
