community

VIMH has a community gathering practice that focuses on creating space for artists to feel safe and supported through rigorous and inclusive development processes.

It is our responsibility to advocate a development culture that will become a foundation for new Australian writing and performance.

This culture is built upon the following beliefs:
1. It is possible to be kind and rigorous.
2. Turning towards each other and investing in our community is a radical act.
3. Risk-taking and the failure that it produces is essential.
