About the organisation
Performing Lines produces provocative contemporary performance by Australia’s most audacious independent artists. Our purpose is to champion risk and to ensure that the breadth and plurality of Australia’s creative potential is represented, celebrated, and enjoyed.
We curate a portfolio of work that is propelled by pressing questions and new ways of seeing the world. We champion the unconventional, the marginal, the rebellious and the new.
For four decades, we have collaborated with arts companies, presenters, and supporters to take some of Australia’s most exciting and diverse contemporary arts experiences to audiences around Australia and the world.
Performing Lines is a national network of industry professionals with on-the-ground teams in New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia, and working in the national and international performing arts sectors. We are committed to achieving industry best practice in all that we do, whether that is supporting artists to develop new work; producing and touring shows; community engagement programs; or supporting artists and the broader arts sector through skills development initiatives.
In everything we do, we acknowledge that we live on Aboriginal land and constantly learn from the wisdom of First Peoples. Where we are and the history that precedes us informs how we work and how we move forward.
