• "Tutti Arts - End of Year Concert: Everything Changes - Program"
  Tutti Arts 'End of Year Concert- Everything Changes' 2015 Program - reads, in part "’Everythlng changes, seasons will come and go Life rearranges all that we think we know’ from The Six Swans, by Jehane Markham and Richard Chew Welcome to the 2015 Tutti Christmas Concert! The above words taken from the finale of The Six Swans, a one act opera Tutti performed with UniSA students in June this year means a great deal to Tutti as we work for social change. They also remind us of the deep meaning in the story of the birth of Jesus and the themes of redemption, hope, salvation and love associated with Christmas. Let's make Christmas 2015 a time of caring, a celebration of true emancipation of the earth from racial and ethnic hatred. Regardless of our religious ties or other belief systems, this Christmas let's all take time to envision what kind of world we want to live in, and do what we can in our own lives to restore peace, love and goodwill to Australia and the world.”

• "Bree Hadley (2015) Participation, politics and provocations: People with disabilities as non-conciliatory audiences. Participations: journal of audience and reception studies, 12(1), pp. 154-174.”
  "Disability has always had a prominent place on the theatrical stage. Throughout the C19th, C20th and C21st to date, disabled characters have been used to signify corruption, innocence or suffering, and, of course, as salutary examples of how to overcome such suffering. In the past three decades, the work of disability scholars, activists and artists has also provided opportunities for people with disabilities to produce their own plays, performances or installations challenging these stereotypes. Interestingly, though both the body of literature on theatre makers with disabilities and the body of literature on theatre audiences has grown apace over the past decade, there is still surprisingly little written on people with disabilities as theatre audiences. In this article, I draw on observations made during five years of practical, empirical and theoretical research into disability theatre to discuss how people with disabilities work as a distinctive sub-group of spectators, with distinctive spectatorial processes, modalities and preferences, within contemporary theatre audiences. I begin with the factors that make attending theatre difficult for people with disabilities. I note that people with disabilities respond to the challenges they face in attempting to become active audiences of contemporary theatre in three common ways. I then unpack what these spectatorial modalities teach us about people with disabilities as audiences, other marginalised groups as audiences, as well as about audiences, audiencing and the part audiences play in theatre practice more generally."
