• "Access Arts - The Divine Kiss, website captured 2004"
  Access Arts - The Divine Kiss, website captured 2004"- reads, in part "The Divine Kiss - The Evil is Always and Everywhere - is a music theatre work exploring the imagery of the Seven Saving Virtues. This is not a traditional text driven narrative, but a collection and superimposing of images with text. Although the perimeters may seem fluid, the work is structured around a base of Seven Virtues with twelve images per virtue of either sound, light and/or singing. Seven sections equal the Seven Virtues, each section to explore one virtue in its quarternity. The sections build one on another using the device of a palimpset of images to reinforce and deepen the audience experience through thematic reiterations."

  "“The Australian Research Council project Disability and the Performing Arts in Australia: Beyond the Social Model – known to collaborators as the last avant garde – is mapping disability performing arts in Australia. We open up this chapter, and our ongoing research project, with the words of the late Tobin Siebers. In researching disability and performance here in Australia, we also acknowledge that since Siebers’ 2010 text, we have seen new experiments and emerging companies pushing the bounds of how bodies feel – in a sector which embraces differences in bodies, but also in thinking, in neurodiversities, in being, in articulating, in appearing, in sensing, in intersectionalities, and in the experiences for audiences. As such, this chapter aims to explore ‘disability aesthetics’ not as a set of specific techniques, themes, or politics, but in order to position disability at the centre of ‘future conceptions of what art is’ and what it can be.”
• "Interview with Tina Fielding"
  Tina is a writer, actor, film maker and disability advocate Interview Summary Tina is an actress with Down Syndrome who identifies strongly with her art form, viewing her disability as an ability that enhances her talent and quality in storytelling through acting. She enjoys the process of acting and finds joy in watching her family perform, which inspired her to pursue the craft; however, she acknowledges that there are difficult moments that can be challenging but ultimately rewarding. Her artistic journey has involved working with various local companies in Perth and her work has evolved by adapting to new roles, with the aim of authenticity in her performances. Tina's influence and acknowledgment in the field are growing, noted by positive media attention, and she encourages other artists with disabilities to embrace and identify with their unique abilities.
