A behind-the-work content series concept — designed to travel with a regional and international touring season and turn the company's process into a story audiences want to follow. Made of rehearsal-room moments, the artists in their own words, and the audience meeting the work. Shown here as my interpretation, to be shaped by the artists and cultural protocols.
A small, thriving company makes fierce, tender, original work in a studio in Naarm — and then carries it across the country and the world. The series follows that journey: the making, the meaning in the artists' own voices, the road, and the moment an audience in a new city meets the work for the first time.
This is a contemporary dance company's story and a First Nations and queer story — and the authority over both belongs to Joel and the artists, not to me. My role in this series is craft and capacity: to film, cut, caption and schedule well, so their work reaches further.
Every phase above runs through the same gate: brief with the company → consent in the room → capture → edit → artist & company review → publish. Cultural protocols decide what is shareable — never the content calendar. If something isn't mine to film or post, it isn't filmed or posted.
Listen first. The best version of this series is the one the artists feel proud to have made with me — so the first job is to sit, listen, and learn how they want their work to be seen.
