Our research explores the role of performance in animating histories, epistemologies and voices that are embodied in non-Western, more-than-human practices of listening. First Nations knowledges anchor approaches which build collaborations based on Country, that activate cultural interactions, place and environment as forms of ecological thinking and making performance.

We investigate how queer, trans and intersectional feminist practices transform performance culture in Australia and beyond. Projects explore performance in non-traditional spaces, transfuturist choreography and queer Indigenous theatre, expanding understandings of embodiment, collaboration and national theatre history.

Our research engages with communities affected by displacement, conflict or social inequity, exploring theatre as a mode of care, resilience and public dialogue. From applied theatre in refugee contexts to co-designed research with young people, we are internationally recognised for advancing performance as a tool for social change in areas of health, migration, education, criminal justice and First Nations communities.

We examine how theatre and performance histories are documented, curated and reimagined in digital and embodied archives, particularly within a national context. From oral history projects with the State Library of NSW, to radical stage adaptations of classical texts to explorations of data feminism and sovereignty, our work redefines what it means to create new frameworks for preserving ephemeral art and making cultural memory accessible.
