​

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, predominantly on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities. We are committed to playing our part in repatriating this land to its Traditional Owners, not limited to but including through production and story telling elements and increasing awareness wherever possible. 

​

Studio Hendricks has signed the I Stand With The Quarter pledge below, committing to integrating these behaviours into our productions. 

​

"As an industry leader, we pledge to create an anti racist, decolonised Australian theatre industry and establish an inclusive and safe environment for all.
We Pledge to:
• Acknowledge in-built systemic racism and educate ourselves in our complicity
• Hire cultural consultants/advisors and intimacy coordinators who have the necessary knowledge in experience to create safe spaces and not allow cast driven emotional labour
• Consult The Equity Diversity Committee and enforce safe practices for all diverse creatives
• Commit to a minimum of 25% Bla(c)k, Indigenous, People of Colour, gender diverse, disabled and body diverse artists working in our companies and on our projects
• Commit to working towards a minimum 25% of annually programmed work that is created and led by BIPOC artists
• Stop programming works that feature racially insensitive characters and depictions
• Apply this pledge to diversity in its entirety including but not limited to disabilities (visible and invisible), low socioeconomic backgrounds, body diversity, transgender gender diverse identifying artists.

 

We acknowledge that these changes won’t happen overnight but the more we keep striving to achieve them, the sooner we will see change.
Hold us accountable."
