TNA is the leading industry development and advocacy organisation for small to medium and independent performing arts, working nationally, with a dedicated Victorian program. TNA services a wide range of performing arts including dance, circus and live art. TNA strengthens artists and arts organisations, influences cultural policy at three levels of government, facilitates critical debate, and advocates for a more robust, interconnected, and innovative sector.

Theatre Network Australia works with the Australian Circus and Physical Theatre community to contribute to the development of a diverse, thriving, and sustainable sector. Our aspiration for the sector is for it to be recognised and supported by three tiers of government, presenters, programmers, and audiences alike.

TNA BELIEVES IN

The Arts' Value To Society

  • A society that embraces and supports creativity is more robust, more egalitarian, more respectful of the past, and more prepared for the future.
    • The arts are essential to our collective civic identity, and can simultaneously impact social, economic and environmental arenas.

Sector Diversity

  • A diverse performing arts sector provides a richness of skills, perspectives and identities that are vital if we are to be relevant.
    • The performing arts will benefit from increased participation by First Nations people, women, people with disabilities, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, children and young people, and older people.

Learning

  • Life-long learning is essential and exists both inside and outside educational institutions.
    • Participation in the arts is a dynamic form of learning.
      • Performance, like any creative enterprise, needs to be supported to take risks, and needs to be allowed to fail.
        • Research and development are essential.

Sector Ecology

  • There are multiple ways for a society to support a thriving arts sector.
    • Different artistic, business, funding, financial, and governance models can be effective, and flexibility is paramount.
      • Small to medium performing arts companies and independent practices are career destinations (not simply pathways) and are integral to invention and innovation in contemporary performance in Australia.

Respect

  • Performing arts professionals have a right to fair pay and conditions, including annual and sick leave, superannuation, family and maternity leave, long service leave, and paid professional development.
    • Conversations and dialogue: that are open to all, overlapping, ongoing, critical, challenging, morphing over time, iterative, exploratory, and always respectful.
