'A fearless theatrical exploration of Aboriginal manhood. A performance that promises to feed your heart and soul. At times achingly beautiful - at others, raw and exposed - these men bring to the stage a resounding spirit, a dreaming - an initiation of sorts.' (Source: Australian Stage website)

Making Theatre from Scratch : The Art of Animateuring
2012
single work
prose
— Appears in: RealTime , October-November no. 111 2012; (p. 4) 'For us animateurs, concepts of ceremony, tradition, initiation and clan systems are hard to uphold in an industry that is essentially market driven and predominately controlled by non-Aboriginal artistic directors and bureaucrats obsessed with bums on seats. Limited funding and therefore limited time often forces us to reduce our cultural ambitions. Going onto country to make work is a per diem minefield that needs to be battled. Waiting for country to speak to us doesn’t always fit neatly into a project budget.'
