Experience

Adelaide Film Festival

• Event Producer

  • Jul 2022 - Present

  I organise a host of events for our community and city profile. Since COVID, I have worked in Placemaking and the arts to improve spaces and places for people to enjoy and relate to. This has included a regeneration of the laneway precinct and a documentary and exhibition about Reconcilaition. Over the past 4 years these have included events delivered through partnerships with the Art Gallery of South Australia (TARNANTHI Festival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art), The Adelaide Film Festival, The Adelaide Fringe, Tasting Australia and Tour Down Under. I program stages of entertainment, street performers, art workshops, installations and experiences for large street parties and then make it all happen!

  • Jan 2015 - Present

  Working with community initiating and developing art based projects. Currently creating opportunities for public art works. This started with painting the skate park with local youth and professional artists, the Electric Art Project where local artists painted electricity boxes in the cbd and a large mural by SMC3 in Savages Lane. Recently we painted a community garden with seniors. We are now working on two significant gateway statements for the region, and an Arts, Heritage and Story Trail.



Independent

• Freelance Performance Maker

  • Jan 1990 - Present

  i’ve worked with Archaos Circus eating razorblades, with Rock and Roll Circus as a contortionist who dabbled in illusions, with Theatre of Hell as a cartoon style gangster, walked through molten lead raindrops with Triclops International, entertained sick children as a clown doctor, emceed as a singing, dancing zombie bellhop in Biffo’s Blow Up Bonanza and have created out of the mould characters, images and acts as a independent artist. I also have been lucky enough to work in the rock ‘n’ roll industry with the infamous electro sensation Peaches, touring with her for 18months as a dancer; and with Machine Gun Fellatio over a number of years as part of their hilariously camp razzle-dazzle extravaganza. I have organised, performed at and hosted functions in both the arts and corporate arenas. Have performed to a huge range of audiences, from a single child in a hospital bed to 10,000 people in a stadium.
