++ Performing Lines : About Us++

Performing Lines makes things happen. We work with artists at every stage of their careers, from emerging artists to internationally recognised names – assisting them to realise their creative vision from concept to production and touring.

We connect them with audiences through presenters at all levels of the industry at home and abroad, from capit al city contemporary spaces, to regional venues large and small, to flagship venues and all the major festivals.

Since its inception, Performing Lines has travelled far and wide with tours specifically designed to give each company or performer access to a broader audience. Since 1990, it has worked with companies large and small throughout Australia, touring over 150 productions to more than 500 locations around the world.

At a time when artists and presenters are exploring new ways of working, many are looking to the independent producer model pioneered by Performing Lines – and to our 25 years of experience and contacts.

Strategic Initiatives Performing Lines supports six dance and theatre artists each in Western Australia and NSW, through the MAPS (Managing and Producing Services) initiative.
