Hi, I’m Vivienne Linsley,

I’m Dr Vivienne Linsley, a guest living and working on the unceded lands of the Gadigal people. I’m a freelance grant writer for Studio Sensorium & the lead senior producer of the award-winning ‘Future Communities Arts Program’ at the Red Rattler Theatre (FBi Radio SMAC of the year award 2023).

Much of my work is about fostering and supporting our creative culture and communities. So it brings me great joy to have won over 2.1 million dollars in grant funding for projects that enrich the cultural nightlife of this city over the last four years.

I’m an interdisciplinary artist who’s practice has evolved across live performance, film, body-based interactive technology: infrared, biofeedback, sonification and participation. I also work as an artist educator (MCA). I’m also a researcher with a thesis titled ‘Performer process in the live act: interactive experiments in the audience-performer relationship, Sydney College of the Arts, The University of Sydney (Doctorate of Philosophy, 2017, recipient of the Australian Post Graduate award 2012-2016).
