Did you know… 

Liam also grew up an avid sailor, swapping the ballet shoes for zinc cream and sailing gloves for an afternoon on the bay. Crafting scones and knitting are now favourite weekend activities.


“I am inspired by the world and society around me. I enjoy putting the human into the art form and bringing real stories to real people, in an effort to create change. Subsequently, reflecting on the human experience.”  

 

We Who Are Left, David Kelly

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
