Annette has played a pivotal role during her time with the company.
She has produced and toured several of its most successful works including Split, Motion Picture and The Dark Chorus. She has consolidated the company’s funding at three levels of government and expanded philanthropic and donor programs. She was instrumental in our ambitious move to a new premises WXYZ Studios, one of the company’s biggest challenges to date, which has had a huge impact on the company’s ability to create new work and to offer support to the independent sector.
‘Annette has created the ideal conditions for an artist to produce work. I have loved our time working together and am hugely grateful for all the hard work she has done to cultivate a space for myself and the independent dance community of Melbourne to explore their art form.’
