Sinsa Mansell, proud pakana senior producer of performing arts company Performing Lines Tas, says there was beautiful synchronicity at play when it came to honouring 20 years of the Lutrawita initiative championing the work of the island state’s remarkable independent artists.
‘We already had our annual sector day booked in for the end of March, as the only organisation here bringing the performing arts sector together, from festival directors to venues, business managers to independent artists,’ Mansell reveals. ‘At the same time, the national company had been going through an exceptionally deep archival process and was stunned to stumble upon Performing Lines Tas’s original lease.’
