Vale Kevan Johnston OAM.

A remarkable performer, choreographer and teacher, and a towering figure in Western Australian performing arts.

Kevan’s legacy lives on through the many productions he shaped, the artists he mentored, and the generosity of spirit for which he was widely admired.

Our heartfelt condolences to Jill Perryman, Tod, Trudy and family at this sad time.

We are thrilled to welcome the very first production to film at Perth Film Studios: Two Birds – a Stan Original six‑part mystery‑thriller.

An international co‑production between Stan. and ITV, Two Birds brings together BAFTA‑ and Peabody‑winning producers, UK and Australian creatives, and an outstanding Western Australian cast and crew.

This project truly reflects what the world-class Perth Film Studios were built for – ambitious storytelling with global reach, expanding the local industry, and providing a platform for our talented creative professionals.

Filming both in‑studio and on location in Kalgoorlie, this milestone production signals Western Australia’s readiness for premium screen production at scale.

Today the Arts and Culture Trust joins citizens across the country for a National Day of Mourning to honour the victims and all those impacted by the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.

Each of our venues will also observe a minute’s silence at 4.01pm. We pause to reflect, stand in unity with the Jewish community, and affirm that hatred will never define us.

His Majesty’s Theatre and the State Theatre Centre will light-up white tonight in commemoration.
