Past projects include:

1. Tabulam: Trail of Light and Sound: A vibrant, site-specific project in Tabulam in May 2024 that transformed the town through immersive light, sound, projection, theatre, water art, puppetry, and live music.

2. The Overtopping: A powerful multimedia installation in flood-impacted Lismore, featuring dance, puppetry, projection, storytelling, sound and water art. It offered a moving reflection on trauma and resilience, culminating in a performance Not Drowning, Waving and revitalising community spirit post-disaster.
3. The (Un)Usual: When the Familiar Becomes Strange: A multi-arts performance and installation project exploring perception, difference, and belonging. Through visual theatre, sound, projection, and movement, artists challenged audiences to see the “ordinary” in extraordinary ways, highlighting inclusion and diverse perspectives.

5. Creating a Trail, Mending a Path: A community-driven creative project responding to disruption and recovery, particularly after local floods. Using visual storytelling, sound, and participatory art-making, it helped reconnect communities and “mend” both cultural and social pathways through creative expression.
