This is now an annual event that raised $10,000 last year. “It’s incredibly rewarding to be noticed (with this award) but it’s not why we work as hard as we do,” Olivia said. “I am so thrilled to be doing something I love, in a community that I love. I am incredibly fortunate to be in a position to positively affect a person’s life and to give them a voice.”

Brodie Murray (M’19) performed his new play, The Whisper, at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in October. The Whisper is set in 1940s Australia and was inspired by the story of his grandmother, Lorraine, and an incredible 400-kilometre, 12-month journey from South Australia’s Bordertown to Swan Hill. “I wanted to write this play to honour family, to honour legacy, to honour the stories of survival of people from South East Australia,” Brodie said. Brodie received the Best Emerging Indigenous Artist Award and the Young Creatives Award for his play Billy’s Choice at last year’s Fringe Festival, which was adapted for film by cinematographer Davide Michielin and director Rachael Maza. He studied Aboriginal Performance at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA).
