Hi Virginia, Can you have a look at this list please, as some are from Rising Festival. Please send receipts through to Sam or file yourself by cob Tuesday!

FW: Black Swan AD Appointment
by Katherine Connor July 6, 2026

July 6, 2026

FYI! Katherine Connor | Executive Director | PAC Australia | +61 (0) 419 428 412 | paca.org.au<http://www.paca.org.au/> From: Ian Booth <i.booth(a)blackswantheatre.com.au> Sent: Sunday, 5 July 2026 2:47 PM To: Ian Booth <boothian(a)outlook.com> Subject: Black Swan AD Appointment Hi all Further to last update on our AD process: I am writing to share with you, embargoed until Monday 6 July - Matt Edgerton has been appointed as Black Swan State Theatre Company's new Artistic Director, after a comprehensive search. As you know - Matt is a multi award-winning director, dramaturg, actor and writer with a passion for developing new work, and a long history with our company – for Black Swan he has directed Fully Sikh, The Seed, and most recently the critically acclaimed world premiere of The Shepherd's Hut. His career spans roles including Head of New Work at Melbourne Theatre Company, Artistic Director of Barking Gecko Theatre Company, and Senior Lecturer at WAAPA. We can't wait to see the bold, distinctive vision he brings to the role. In Matt’s own words: "Black Swan gave me my first professional break in the epic Plainsong, directed by its Founding Artistic Director Andrew Ross. Nearly thirty years later, it is the greatest honour of my career to be appointed as the company's fifth Artistic Director. I can't wait to begin work with the amazing Black Swan team and our community of exceptional artists to create the next wave of great Western Australian theatre for audiences here and across the country - work that is bold, eclectic and unmistakably our own." We're all genuinely excited about this new chapter, and at the same time, personally, as you can imagine, it’s been brilliant to work with Kate Champion, who will conclude her time as Artistic Director at the end of this year, and we are very grateful for her wonderful contribution to Black Swan.

AI Discussion Piece
by Katherine Connor July 1, 2026

July 1, 2026

Hi everyone, As flagged earlier this year, it's time for us to be introducing AI into some of our work here at PAC Australia. Knowing that there are real and legitimate concerns everywhere around the use of AI, I've pulled together the attached document for the PAC team to consider and understand, so that we're moving forward consciously, ethically and efficiently, not simply throwing AI into workflows blindly, as it's not an "if" we'll use AI, but how. It is quite a lengthy document, but AI being simultaneously such a huge risk and huge opportunity demands us all to understand how we propose to move forward. I'll add it to the discussion at next week's team meeting. You are welcome to raise anything directly with me, or at the meeting next week. In the meantime, below are some of the video's I used to bring myself up to speed on some of the very basics of AI - how it works, what's going on when you're using it, and what you could potentially use it for (there's also more background materials and a glossary in the attached doc). It's not a prescription for you to watch any or all of the below and I'm sure there's plenty else out there; I'm only providing if you would find it helpful as an early starter. We can review actual training needs as part of the above process. The Basics of AI - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVyD6THcvDQ Google's AI Course for Beginners in 10 minutes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq0QkCxoTHM AI for Data Analysis in 21 minutes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvFDxwlT2e8 You're Not Behind (Yet) - Learn AI in 29 minutes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c7zh2MkslY And another interesting, sector relevant, piece worth watching.
