ATSI Best Practice Resolution
31 May 2013
RECOMMENDATION for the development of a Best Practice Model in the making of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander work
As Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander theatre makers at the 2013 Australian Theatre Forum:
We believe we are at a critical moment in defining and shaping this country. As the foundation of the cultural landscape, we have a responsibility to establish the standards for the future.
It was identified there is an urgent need to establish a Best Practice Model in the making and presentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander theatre work and work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content.
Therefore, we request that the Australian Theatre Forum recommends the Australia Council support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander theatre makers to develop a Best Practice Model.
In the spirit of this recommendation, this process must be driven by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sector itself.
