Winemakers

NSW Wine Region

First amazing winemakers that dared to dream, the origin story of the winemakes who led the formation of NSW wine regios and their discovery in the international spotlight. Hear from winemakers from Clonakilla, Tyrell’s, Bloodwood where it all started .

“I was always told, oh it’s too cold in Canberra, you can’t grow vines there

“It’s almost like I’m dreaming. When we came to Australia in 1968, to think 50 odd years down the track there’d be this great wine industry here and I was there at the beginning, I couldn’t have dreamt that.  If someone had told me that would happen I’d have said, ‘don’t be silly.’”

NON

Dance Company

NON is an emerging artistic collective led by Founder and Artistic Director Davide Di Giovanni and Co-Director Chloe Leong. Informed by a desire to explore the boundaries of contemporary performance and challenge systemic norms within the dance community, NON embraces the beauty of the unfamiliar, the uncomfortable and the subversive. Through creative collaboration, site specific performance and a company of best-in-class dancers NON brings new life, new art, and ultimately, new stories to the Australian dance community and beyond.

“To dream is to dare, and to dare is to dance. At NON, movement is the language of dreams—fluid, untamed, and boundless. Romantic yet rebellious, our work merges the surreal with the real, where light, sound, and motion awaken something deeper within.” Davide and Chloe
