This edition of Profiler is all about hearing it straight from the horse's mouth. There are interviews with Jo Lancaster (acrobat), Todd Fuller (Flatline), Tos Mahoney (Totally Huge New Music Festival), Andrew Upton (STC) and Finn O’Branagain (Crack Theatre Festival).

We review recent queer performance, looking at Brisbane's Melt Festival and Sydney's Day For Night program.

APAM is on the road across Australian and New Zealand throughout March and April with their information sessions. Last year's participants (including Nicola Gunn, pictured above) can attest to the success of the platform.
