Introducing AD+
A new audio series released weekly featuring our Artistic Directorate.

As they settle into their posts, we invite you to come closer, and join them in conversation as they dive into the experiences and ideas which guide their practice and what they hope to bring to their two-year term at Next Wave.

Tune in as Dominic Guerrera (SA) & Naina Sen (NT), Daley Rangi (WA) & Kristi Monfries (ACT), Nathan Stoneham (QLD) & Tian Zhang (NSW) Theia Connell (TAS) & Amaara Raheem (VIC) unfurl everything from the complexities of identity, practice and unstructured time, lessons and loving failure and explorations into collective leadership and memory.
