  Restless Dance - Celebrating 30 Years - Promotional Flyer - reads, in part "Now in its 30th year, Restless collal)orates with some of the industry's most renowned choreographers, companies and artists. We create performance work that is presented at prestigious festivals and venues around Australia and internationally. Our workshop program continues to be an incubator for dancers, It creates a pathway for artists to pursue a career in dance. It is the past successes of Restless that have caused the arts sector to be devastated by the news that The Australia Council for the Arts will no longer fund the company through the multi-year funding program (2022 - 2024). It is important that Australia understands the impact this decision will have on the company. Whilst we have funding to continue to produce work, our operational funding ceases at the end of 2021."

• "Tutti Arts - Between the Worlds - Program 2007"
  Tutti Arts - 'Between the Worlds' 2007 Program - reads, in part “The first stage of Between the Worlds In May 2004 was called Circles and was about relationships with significant people In our lives. The second stage development this year Involved Interviewing all our actors to explore deeper relationship themes. One of these interviews was with our talented male lead, Alistair Brasted who said: "I've always felt between the worlds, not knowing where I really belong". This Insight resonated with all our artists and became the theme of the whole script because they had all experienced feelings of exclusion. The story of Romeo and Juliet and their love which transcends hate and divisiveness served as inspiration for Between the Worlds. In our story the Innocence of Isabella and Oliver's love In the face of adversity has allowed us to explore universal questions of discrimination and difference which lie at the heart of violence. Such stories have been with us since the beginning of time. Like the script, the songs and music for Between the Worlds are the expression of the Individual voices of our actors.”

• "Interview with Peter Vance"
  Peter Vance is a singer, songwriter, musician, performer, facilitator and disability arts advocate. Interview Summary: Peter Vance is a songwriter, performer, musician and singer. Peter suggested disability arts in the last 20 years has become more visible and popular reflecting a positive shift in how society views disability as part of the rich tapestry of human experience. This is reflected in how the arts now tell the stories of individuals with disabilities, not simply as artists with a disability, but as whole people whose varied experiences - visible and invisible - inform and enrich their creative expression. However, there are still challenges with funding and accessibility and ongoing struggles for recognition and support of disability art. Changes in how organisations operate to suit new funding such as the NDIS have potentially limited the spontaneity and personal touch that smaller, community-driven organizations once offered. Peter said it is essential to continue to push for better understanding, support, and visibility for people with all kinds of disabilities in every aspect of life, including the arts, to truly embrace inclusivity.
