Dana McMillan
Performer | Theatre Maker
I am a performer and theatre maker currently based in London. I have been supported by the Ian Potter Cultural Trust (2020) and the Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Fellowship (Theatre) (2021).
My solo performance practice uses devised processes to combine original, poetic text with physical performance to examine how a queer feminine gaze operates in theatrical spaces.
I am company member of UK based experimental performance collective ClusterFlux and a Co-Artistic Director of The DIG Collective, an Australian experimental performance collective dedicated to making performances through a devised slow dramaturgical process and non-linear storytelling. The DIG Collective has performed as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival, White Night and various other events and festivals. Additionally I perform as a company member of Soothplayers: Completely Improvised Shakespeare and perform regularly at festivals across Australia, including; Melbourne Fringe Festival (Best Comedy Nominee 2019), Perth World Fringe Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
I frequently perform and facilitate across a variety of mediums as well as running workshops for physical and devised theatre, improvisation and Shakespearean language.
