POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’m joined by @julieannecamp at the redevelopment site of @griffintheatre. For almost 50 years, this theatre has acted as a creative home for budding writers, actors, and directors, kickstarting the careers of names like Cate Blanchett, Suzie Miller @suziemillerwriter , and Meyne Wyatt @meyneg .

We gained an exclusive look at all the progress so far alongside @ollyforsydney and @crlyndongannon .The new theatre will include a larger foyer and bar, and it will now be fully wheelchair accessible.

Griffin will also retain the stall seating and stable doors as a tribute to the building’s history as a horse stable.

A huge thanks to the @cityofsydney for their generous grant of $1 million, making it possible for the theatre to continue to support Australian playwriting.

I am so eager to visit the finished site in 2027. If you’d like to stay up to date with their progress, sign up for the Redevelopment Newsletter via the link in their bio. 🔗

Pride Month: Part 2 of celebrating and acknowledging the soap characters that blazed a trail.

While early 1970s Australian soaps led the way, it was the British soaps that started to explore more diverse characters in the early 2000s. However, it seems that showing intimacy between two men was still a problem for the networks in more ways than one.

Griffin has been bringing big, important Australian stories to our iconic, tiny kite stage at the SBW Stables Theatre for decades.

And since we turned our small theatre into a big, BIG hole, we’ve been continuing to tread the boards of small stages across Sydney at Downstairs Belvoir, The Old Fitz and the Seymour Centre.

But the stories speak of worlds, ideas, risks far greater than the modest footprint on which we perform.

🏪 Tiny convenience store < giant K-Pop stage in Michelle Lim Davidson’s KOREABOO
🏠 A home in the small town of Kalgoorlie < the loud howl of rage of injustice and inequality in Meyne Wyatt’s CITY OF GOLD
🎠 Huge PONY < the centrepiece to Eloise Snape’s play about the grand delusions of fast approaching motherhood.
🌳 One small park bench < decades of Darlinghurst secrets in Elias Jamieson Brown’s GREEN PARK.

And all these stories only happen because of you.

No matter the size, all donations make a big impact at Griffin.

I’m a STORYTELLER, not a GRANT WRITER.

Two months ago I had the absolute pleasure of being part of the @moogahlin Yellamundie Festival which gives both seasoned and aspiring theatre makers the opportunity to get in a room with collaborators for 2 weeks and present/pitch to an audience willing to witness the early heartbeat of our ideas.

My piece, DIARY OF A CITY BLAK is a work in progress that navigates my Blak, Black, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Indigenous, First Nations (pick whichever speaks to you) diaspora. A piece about identity, yearning, and carving out a space in the city that rarely makes room for us.

I want to thank the entire team at @moogahlin for the opportunity. I’m proper grateful, not just for the platform, but for reminding me I’m on the right path, even after the constant knockbacks from white/mainstream orgs that nearly had me giving up on opportunities like this. I felt truly supported from beginning to end, and I’d 100% recommend this program to any aspiring theatre makers.

To my team deadly team! @sharileesebbens , Nathan Maynard, Amy Flannery, @norulesjustpassion, thank you for pushing me, supporting me, reminding me to eat and holding me through those two weeks as I searched for my language and vision on stage. Thank you for challenging me to explore new ways of storytelling outside my comfort zone.

And to everyone who came to the showing and went on that journey with me, thank you. 🙏🏾 I did not expect that ovation for a work still in development, but you chose to come on that ride, and I’m deeply grateful. 🙏🏾

Wow, 1 year ago today I opened the doors to my first ever lil Blak retail store on Lonsdale Street. A busy street in the heart of Canberra filled with some amazing artisans, cafes & more.

We are the ONLY 100% Aboriginal Owned and Operated retail store here who has a shop filled with 100+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Small businesses, artists and authors.

In the last 365 days we have been able to inject over $300000 to our many stockists which carries over to many Blak families and communities.

We have established solid relationships with local organisations and departments. We have become preferred suppliers for gifts and catering. We have been nominated for awards and are a finalist in a local business award this week.

Not only this, the overwhelmingly positive response and acceptance from the Canberra community has shown that our space matters, you want us to be here and we want to continue to share it with all of you.

From politicians to actors, authors, musicians, influencers and even the Governor General, we have shared our space with so many.

We’ve sponsored our own female Raider, donated hampers and gifts to all different people and orgs because we believe community matters and we genuinely want to contribute as much as we can. Tash has been lucky to be sponsored by some amazing companies who have helped contribute to the space.

We are here to stay and we can’t wait for the next year to see where we are.

A huge thank you to my family, especially my husband Josh and my three babies (usually you’ll see me working with a baby on my hip and my big boys running amuck). To the ones who come and love me and my babies and help out whenever you can. I appreciate you so much & to everyone who has shopped with us and helped keep my dream alive. THANK YOU

*we are celebrating our first birthday officially on the 6th December, more info to come*

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Given the generous, perspective-changing experiences I have had getting to know and working with Indigenous peers here in Canada (my day job is in healthcare improvement), I greatly appreciate and now seek out Indigenous art and content. It generates important heart-knowledge. 🧡

When the opportunity to review The Moogai for @morbidlybeautifulhorror came up, I claimed it immediately. It exceeded my expectations, and broke my heart as a mother, because of the very hard, current truths presented (rooted in painful history and rich culture).

If you watch The Moogai and feel it is far-fetched, think again. People I have interviewed for work have shared deeply personal experiences akin to those Sarah (Shari Sebbens), Fergus (@meyneg), and Ruth (Tessa Rose) portray in this film. I hear these stories far too often. And current geopolitical contexts….are causing a surge in distrust and fear (where many racist and discriminatory actions stem from).

As difficult as it was to watch, I absolutely recommend The Moogai. The creature design is also uncomfortably memorable. Tip: Watch without distractions; many of the scares are subtle and come and go like a whisper.
