Congrats to Bruce Gladwin - inaugural winner of Australia Councils' OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN THEATRE
Apr 18, 2015
Bruce is an inspired choice for the award. He is Artistic Director of Back to Back Theatre, based in Geelong, Victoria. What great work he's made in collaboration with the ensemble over the past 15 years or more. The enduring quality and challenge of their work is reflected in international demand - Ganesh versus The Third Reich has performed in over 30 cities, Small Metal Objects has been touring for 10 years. Back to Back have performed to more people than any other Australian theatre company, including the big ones!
