Triage was founded by artistic director Katerina Kokkinos-Kennedy in 2009. The company creates immersive, site-specific and participatory works with a range of creative collaborators. Triage’s performances are ‘deep end’ experiences designed to enable audiences to draw closer to themselves, and the world around them. Our projects explore the role of the audience, are deeply inspired by places and sites, and seek to establish subtle forms of relationality. Always live, our projects incorporate new and ancient technologies to expand our human potential for curiosity, presence, and intimacy. Text, sound, and poetic imagery are the foundations of our artistic practice. These elements support audiences to consider the precious ‘onceness’ of their lives. This is Triage.
Our performances are invitations.
Invitations that unfold in the spaces between us.
Invitations to see, listen and feel.
Invitations to make connections with others.
Invitations that allow for softness and vulnerability.
Invitations to gather, to raise awkward questions.
Invitations into places where something unexpected might happen.
Invitations to enter into with your body, mind and heart.
Invitations that relate to the moment we live in.
Invitations that help us to be otherwise.

We acknowledge that we live and work in Naarm. We pay our respects to the Wurundjeri, Woi Wurrung and Boon Wurrung peoples, on the lands of the Eastern Kulin nations. Their sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be.
