Storytelling is such an essential tool in career success. Whether you’re networking, interviewing for a job, building your personal brand or promoting your business/non-profit, you are sharing a story. People connect with stories and engage more when they relate. It really is a skill that everyone should learn early and fine tune throughout their life. So glad to see young, talented people getting out there and setting themselves up for success. These are our future leaders.

Hand on heart - this... 'Living without Art is like living without Nature'. CREATIVE HEALTH This is a stunning example of the importance of creativity and connection.

Forget local authority, government or agency funding. These are either unavailable or not sustainable and can kill creativity when working within their specific guidelines. Instead, research what the local demographic want or need and provide it. Think of ways that you can entice an audience or participation within different localities and cultures. Be brave, do it alone or with like minded colleagues. Involve yourself in local festivals, fetes, fairs or the like. Hire local halls or theatres. Involve youth clubs and/or schools. Show people what you offer and educate about the impact of the arts on wellbeing and social inclusion.

**Celebrating 35 Years of Inclusive Theatre with Back to Back Theatre 🎭** We draw immense inspiration from pioneers like Back to Back Theatre, a Geelong-based ensemble leading the charge in inclusive theatre. For over three decades, this remarkable company has not only put neurodivergent and artists with disability in the spotlight but also passionately challenged societal attitudes toward disability and neurodiversity. Founded in 1987, Back to Back Theatre showcases the rich narratives of artists who have historically been side-lined in the arts sector. Their latest critically acclaimed production, “The Shadow Whose Predecessor Died”, exemplifies the unique, compelling perspectives these artists bring to the stage. But their impact doesn’t end with curtain calls. Back to Back Theatre extends its influence through essential training and mentorship for emerging artists, ensuring a lasting legacy and a progressively inclusive future in the arts. As they mark their 35th anniversary, it's clear there's still much work to be done. Artistic Director Bruce Gladwin reminds us, “We're still fighting for the same things we were fighting for 35 years ago.” Yet, despite hurdles, their unwavering commitment lights the way forward. We believe in learning from such trailblazers. How can we, across all industries, foster similar environments of inclusivity and diversity? 🤔 Sharing your insights and experiences can spark further change! #InclusiveArts #BackToBackTheatre #DisabilityInclusion #Neurodiversity #Path2LifeCare #ArtsAndCulture #SocialImpact #NDIS #Disabilitysupport

With a frightening lack of focus on the importance of an arts education the consequences will hit us for decades. Government policy needs to move swiftly and distinctly to support creative education in schools, colleges and Universities as a matter of urgency. This is not just about having ‘stories’ to tell. It is about nurturing and recognising the importance of these creative skills in business and corporate environments too. We need smart people in positions of authority and power - in all organisations. Time for change.
