  Reads, in part "In Dianne Reid's recent work Dance Interrogations (a Diptych), performed as part of the 2015 Melbourne Fringe Festival by Reid and collaborating artist Melinda Smith, spectators had no seats but rather roamed, observing two mature dancers. In this article, I explore Reid and Smith's live performance, a combination of structured movement improvisation and screendance, as a provocation of the relationship between movement and agency. I address the theatrical event through the multifaceted lens of the performers' experiences, spectators' responses and my own observations."

• "Rawcus - Song for a Weary Throat - Program"
  Program for Rawcus work, presented at Melbourne International Arts Festival, 'Song for a weary throat' reads, in part, “To say that Song for a Weary Throat is set in the aftermath of some terrible event isn't quite right. The work instead offers up the state of aftermath itself as an existential condition, conveying the emotional logic and bodily experience of being in such a turbulent moment that is defined by what has gone before.”

Curating Access: Disability Art Activism and Creative Accommodation. Routledge, Abingdon, Oxon, pp. 183-195.”
  "In museums and galleries, access is often designed and implemented by staff and informed by regulations and guidelines. Codesign approaches have the potential to shift this understanding away from designing access “for” visitors and toward access as a creative process developed “with” visitors. This chapter focuses on the exhibition and practice-led research project Vis-ability: Artworks from the QUT Art Collection, which was presented at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Art Museum in Australia in 2019. Vis-ability represented the culmination of five years of international research into access in museums and galleries for visitors who are blind or have low vision."
