Acknowledgement of Traditional Custodians

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

The Arts Adventurer

From your answers, it looks like you live a very active life and enjoy discovering new and unusual things.

It all sounds pretty full-on, actually; when do you fit in time to come to live performance? Well, when you do, you probably like to try something new; whether it is a new type of performance or a fresh perspective on a well-known story. And, though you don’t like to follow the crowd, you don’t mind sharing your knowledge and letting others know when you find something new. So, thanks for spreading the word and continuing to build audiences for live performance.

You probably don’t rely much on other people’s recommendations, but you might like to have a look at the events below, which we’ve put together with experience-seekers like you in mind.

You might also be interested in the behind the scenes insights on our website.

Feel free to share them with your friends and we look forward to seeing you again at QPAC soon.
