ARTISTIC DIRECTION OF APHIDS

Artistic Direction of Melbourne based experimental arts organisation Aphids.

As the Artistic Director of the wild organisation that is Aphids, for 7 years I directed a program of national and international presentations as well as growing the company into a stable force in the experimental arts landscape—securing local and federal funding and an impressive network of partnerships. The collaborative structure was essential and I worked with Artistic Associates Tristan Meecham, Lz Dunn, Martyn Coutts and Lara Thoms. In 2018 I handed the company over to a triad of femme leadership—Eugenia Lim, Mish Grigor and Lara Thoms.

 

Aphids has an impressive archive you can look at of the projects programmed under my tenure including; Exile, Thrashing Without Looking, Remote Sense Program, Atelier Edens, Fun Run, Game Show, Computer Boy, Flyway, Drive-In, Finale, The Second Before, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, Crawl Me Blood, A Singular Phenomenon, Spooky Action at a Distance.

Happiness is?
"Irrelevant to the actual experience of living."

“[APHIDS] made me confident that extremely
strange ideas could be extremely popular.”
