A response to the significant gender inequity within the technical designs for live performance sector this list is designed as a resource for theatre companies, collectives, and individuals, to hire more diversely. This list is also one of many ways to develop a community amongst female, non-binary, and trans designers.
This list is in no way exhaustive, and is a live document that we expect to grow and change. If you would like to join the list or update your details, or for more information, please contact Yuhui Ng-Rodriguez – yuhui@tna.org.au
Initiated by Emma Valente. TNA supports and facilitates sector development initiatives and projects by independent artists in various ways. Speak to us if you have something brewing!
