scroll to see dreams come true.
about seven years ago, I was on a train, on the phone to my father, going into city loop tunnel. He said “are you sure you wanna do this? This is already your past, do you want to make it your future? This is already your life, are you sure you want to make it your job?”.
seven years ago, the word ‘consent’ was considered a very dirty word in theatre and film, and I was absolutely considered a blasphemer for using it. Playing the long game, sticking to my guns & standing up for what I know will make these workplaces safer for my friends and colleagues, it still amazes me to see the change in this industry - all the phenomenal projects I’ve been welcomed into as part of the team. The above is just a selection. Workshops & developments with
@malthousetheatre , working with
@jmcacademy students in the classroom and on their short films, all the amazing conversations I’ve had, and of course the esteemed invite to
@screenaustralia Advanced Intimacy Workshop alongside my contemporaries, trailblazers the lot of them
@michalabanas @amycater_intimacycoordinator @morey.eve @ruthnataliefallon
I think, as always in these moments, of the people who lifted me into position and believed in the work long before any major company or box office draw would give me the time of day.
@alexandergwright who got me my first job with
@immersiveeverywhere x
@dino__dimitriadis who plucked me out of obscurity (and retirement) and has been one of my biggest advocates ever since from
@darlinghursttheatreco right through to
@hedwigaus x
@kink_charles_iii who has also championed me endlessly as a peer and now friend x
@leilaadelaideenright you have shown me such treasured hospitality, inspiration and encouragement I couldn’t be as successful as I am without you and women like you at my side x
@cessalee you are the true muscle behind everything I’ve been able to lift this year, I’m so beyond grateful to you for seeing me and leading me into the fray of screen work and my big break at
@neighbours x
Thank you all for making this year so unbelievable. I hope I’ve made you proud, and proven you were right to believe in me. You are my kin. B
