• "Tutti Ensemble - Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002"
  Tutti Ensemble Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002 - reads, in part " The development of the Tutti Ensemble's Holdfast Community Choir seems like magic. It has grown in less than four years from a small group of 11 intellectually disabled people and two support workers at Minda enjoying choral singing as a recreational option, to a diverse group of 60 - 70 singers and musicians. The philosophy of the choir is that there are no barriers to participation, therefore people with physical and intellectual disabilities and members of the community from widely differing age groups and musical experience are accepted and encouraged. Our repertoire has evolved to include gospel, popular and traditional songs as well as old favourites. We also sing songs from other cultures and original songs by contemporary writers"

• "Tutti Arts - Emily Steel - Impersonal Space - Program"
  Tutti Arts - Emily Steel 'Impersonal Space' 2019 Program - reads, in part "When I started work with Company AT, I thought I was investigating a very different sort of mind to my own. The idea for Impersonal Space, about a little girl with Einstein and Newton as her imaginary friends, came from Julian Jaensch. The methods we found for representing an Autistic mind, showing a largely neurotypical audience how the world can look through Autistic eyes, came from workshops with the company. But, to my surprise, I ended up putting quite a lot of myself in this play."

• "Tutti Arts - Tutti Voice Newsletter December 2009"
  Tutti Arts - Tutti Voice Newsletter December 2009 - reads, in part "It is great to be back in South Australia with the Tutti team who made the trip to Minnesota. Northern Lights, Southern Cross was a marvellous experience complete with huge challenges and moments of exhilaration, and it was wonderful working both with Interact and at the ultra-modern and very accessible Guthrie Theater. We were delighted that our South Aussie patron's film The Boys are Back opened around the same time and that both Scott and Tutti won critical acclaim from the Minneapolis press. In fact, Northern Lights, Southern Cross broke all box office records for the Guthrie and attracted a broad mainstream, Native American, and African American audience. Dozens remained behind after every performance for post-show discussions looking at themes of trauma and healing central to the show and by closing night Northern Lights, Southern Cross had truly succeeded in raising awareness about barriers that exclude. We also knew that audiences everywhere are hungry for original work created through the melting pot of radical inclusion."

• “Disability in the Arts, Disadvantage in the Arts, Australia (DADAA), based in Western Australia, is established in 1994”
  The National Participate Conference, hosted by Arts Access Victoria in 1990, set the scene for the emergence of the DADAA network. This came after several years of conversations among Western Australian artists about starting an organisation; the organisation was officially established in 1994. “In 1986, a small group of artists with disability met to discuss starting their own WA-based arts organisation. It is from this meeting that DADAA slowly grew, from a pilot project it became an organisation in its own right in 1994: taking the name Disability in the Arts, Disadvantage in the Arts, Australia – DADAA.”
• “Disabled People’s International (Australia) (DPIA) formed in 1983”
  The organisation Disabled People’s International (Australia) (DPIA) was formed in 1983. Thirteen disabled Australians who attended Disabled People’s International (DPI) first world assembly in Singapore in 1981, the International Year of the Disabled Person, returned home to set up the Australian branch two years later. The Women with Disabilities Australia online history reports that DPIA “from the outset, was dominated by disabled men. Only 3 of the 11 members of its governance structure were women, and there was no mention of women or gender in DPIA goals and objectives.” This led to the establishment of a women’s network within DPIA, known as the National Women’s Network (DPIA).
