Congratulations to E

Congratulations to Eben Love for winning the QUT School of Creative Arts Behind the Scenes Award at the Matildas last night!

Eben began his journey as a young trainee at Bulmba-ja (then the Centre of Contemporary Arts) and worked on local productions with JUTE, Tropical Arts, and others. Along the way, he developed touring, lighting, and technical skills that have taken him to Edinburgh with Box Jelly Theatre and into associate roles with QTC. He was also our lighting and AV operator on the From Campfire to Stage Light tour. Meanwhile, Eben progressed through Arts Queensland and is now Venue Supervisor at Bulmba-ja.

Equally committed to sharing his knowledge, Eben has been an integral part of our Binalmalmal program, a theatre skills initiative for First Nations youth. At the heart of his work is a dedication to supporting creatives in telling their stories in safe, collaborative spaces. Anyone who has worked with Eben will attest to his unwavering commitment to ensuring every production shines.

We are incredibly proud of you, Eben, and grateful to work alongside you every day!
