Luna Collective Manifesto
Luna Collective is an ever growing and expanding body – with each new project, our collaborators, our network, our community of creatives become our Collective. Luna is designed for artists in theatre, film, music and dance to move through the company naturally and organically; taking what they have experienced forward to new pastures and leaving a piece of them behind. With each new collaborator in the Collective, Luna will endeavour to grow artistically and literally.
We bring artists together. We bring art to audiences.
In each exploration, in each iteration of projects, in each encounter there is a fundamental question at the core asking what is it that is innate? Our stories are grounded in the real and aided by the body to create the extra-daily. From us comes a flow of expressions that represents the voices of our country, our communities, our collective.
Luna Collective – new wave collaborative theatre group.
