Performing Lines produces provocative contemporary performance by Australia’s most audacious independent artists.

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.

Performing Lines National with artists and projects based in Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory, with Australian artists abroad, and with international collaborators.
