🌟 Simone Flavelle Wins IMPACT Award! 🏆

We were so stoked when we heard that Disability Advocate Simone Flavelle received an IMPACT award from PAC Australia - APAX for her exceptional contributions to fostering a sustainable Arts and Disability practice in Western Australia.

Simone's unwavering advocacy has resulted in significant outcomes for disabled and neurodiverse artists, championing integration over segregation, and promoting inclusivity in the arts through My Place WA Ltd.

We've had the privilege of collaborating with Simone for several years, including for our 2022 Kolyang Lab where she played a pivotal role in bringing together a team of emerging disabled artists from around WA.

Please join us in congratulating Simone for her well-deserved recognition! Her passion and dedication continue to inspire us all.

We are beyond excited to introduce our new Associate Producer, Joo Tan.

Born and bred in Singapore, Joo's journey to Boorloo (Perth) is a colourful tale of cultural exploration and artistic passion. As the former Regional Curator at The Junction Co. (Port Hedland), she was the creative mind behind engaging exhibitions and meaningful community programs in the Pilbara. With her background in Arts Management (.ecu), she is well versed in bringing immersive, innovative experiences to life. Joo is excited about sparking magic and meaningful connections in every aspect of her work.

Joo shares, "As the new Associate Producer at Performing Lines WA, I wholeheartedly embrace this extraordinary opportunity. I am excited about supporting artists and fostering experimentation in the world of contemporary performances. Working with Performing Lines WA not only offers personal growth but also allows me to make a meaningful contribution to the arts. I'm excited to shape captivating and adventurous experiences for all, and I can't wait to bring my passion to life in this role."

Today marks Joo's first day in our office, and if you were at the WA Showcase last week, you might have had the pleasure of meeting her already. Please join us in welcoming her into our tight-knit and vibrant community.

The Black Brass team is in Albany for two weeks, remounting the work before Friday's presentation, and heading to Geraldton next.

We've had an amazing start to our time here in Albany, soaking in the warm welcome from this incredible town, including the team at the Albany Entertainment Centre.

We kicked off with a meet-and-greet session, connecting with some community members. This morning, we gave a little taster of the show at a local cafe, then hit the community radio.

Next week, local TAFE students will join us behind the scenes, and more radio chats await.

This unique regional remount is so special, and fosters genuine community engagement.
Here's a glimpse.

🎉 Farewell to Melanie 🎉

Today, we say goodbye to our dear colleague and friend, Melanie Julien-Martial, as she embarks on an exciting new journey with Perth Festival as their new Associate Producer working across multiple projects and leading the Arts Industry Connect Program.

We have no doubt that Melanie's talent and drive will continue to make a significant impact on the arts scene.

As we gear up for the premiere of our sensational theatre show Beneath The Music, we find ourselves at the cusp of a historic moment. India's Supreme Court is about to make a landmark decision on same-sex marriage, which aligns with the narrative of our show following Keshav, a young Australian-Indian gay man, on his path towards love and acceptance.

India, with its vibrant LGBTIQA+ community of 135 million people, stands poised to join nations embracing marriage equality. This milestone holds immense significance for a country where gay relationships still face societal taboos.

Beneath The Music could not have arrived at a more opportune time. Through the inspiring tale of Keshav, creator and director Jay Emanuel aims to shed light on the universal journey of love and acceptance, a narrative that echoes the experiences of countless individuals across India and the world.

Stay tuned for updates on the Indian Supreme Court ruling and our exhilarating theatre production.

⭐“Funny, filthy, deeply felt, unapologetic, full-frontal….She reclaims pleasure and joy as a pathway to catharsis, and parallels the personal with the political.”⭐ – Time Out Betty Grumble brings Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t to the The Rechabite this August! A self reflective, regenerative dive into the compost bin of making and moving through the trouble; of defying the ever-present cultures of violence and ecocide. Enemies of Grooviness Eat Sh!t is an unshaming dance and a chance to allow ourselves to be seen. You are invited into a sensual, surreal and sublime experience of an all singing, dancing, howling and loving cabaret du Sex Clown. Let’s have fun. Produced by Performing Lines FOUR SHOWS ONLY Aug 10-13 | Tickets on sale now! https://megatix.com.au/events/betty-grumble-enemies-of-grooviness

2022 KOLYANG CREATIVE HUB
2022 KOLYANG CREATIVE HUB

KOLYANG CREATIVE HUB 2022 | Do you have an idea or an aspect of your artistic practice that you would like to explore and develop? Then here is an opportunity for you! The much-anticipated Kolyang Creative Hub is returning to Subiaco Arts Centre, 8 to 26 August 2022. This year’s residency will focus on the seeding and making of work through creative connections and exchanges. The Hub is a supportive environment offering space, time and a cohort of people for concepts and ideas to flourish. There will be a few changes to the format and scale of the Hub in 2022, including a smaller number of participating artists - which we hope will be a mix of returning practitioners from past editions, and of course first timers. The EOI call out will happen in mid-June, so watch this space. If you are thinking of applying to be part of the Hub in 2022, we strongly encourage you to consider other funding opportunities to support your time and ideas (for instance, check out the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries U-$15k funding – and our thanks to DLGSC for their support of the 2022 Kolyang program) Hit the link below for more info about the Hub which we will continue to update. bit.ly/2022CreativeHub #makingconnections #artistsconnecting #2022kolyangcreativehub #plwacreativehub #independentartists #performingarts #australianperformingarts #waartists #performinglineswa #supportingindependentartists #supportindies #artistscreativehub #perth #westernaustralia #creativeproducers #experimentalarts

“access is one thing, but inclusion is altogether something else.”

jeremy smith joined pvi’s board in april 2021 and was the head of experimental arts at the Australia Council for the Arts for four years prior.

read his response to the provocation “how to be a good ancestor”, which was given at a roundtable event held by Theatre Network Australia alongside Performing Lines WA's kolyang creative hub in august of this year.

jeremy's inspiring voice challenges us and calls us all to action to strive for true access and inclusion within the sector.
last week, pvi's Kelli Mccluskey presented her talk “you’ll never work in this town again” as part of Performing Lines WA's 2022 kolyang creative hub public program.

with fantastic engagement from those in attendance and some important discussion taking place, the lecture was well attended and gave artists space to talk about the future of arts sponsorship and what they were prepared to do to seek and secure ethical arts funding.

pvi collective are available to run workshops, give talks, or facilitate forums. a list of talks and workshops can be viewed at https://pvicollective.com/resources/talks-and-workshops/
