Per the 2021 Green Awards:
The Contemporary and Experimental Performance panel honours all artists in our community and especially those who were part of the extraordinary 72 works that registered with our panel in 2020. We acknowledge that as a panel of Melbourne-based independent artists we failed to see all the shows registered in 2020 and think our community will understand the reasons for this. We have made a decision to create only a list of finalists and not award a singular winner across three categories. We believe that this is the best possible expression of a year of constant recalibration, collective action, profound care, resistance and protest, advocacy and survival that reflects the contemporary and experimental artistic sector at all times, but most acutely in 2020.

'Welcome to a tropical island full of palm trees, phosphate mines, coconut water and kids. Set against a backdrop of handmade costumes and colonialism, this is an absurd, true story about Leonardo da Vinci, the Pacific, seagull shit and state-sanctioned abuse.
'This new work sees Samara Hersch (Sex and Death, META) and Lara Thoms (A Singular Phenomenon, Howl) collaborate with seven young people in Melbourne in response to Australia’s ongoing relationship with Nauru.
'Part school musical, part history lesson and part political probe, We All Know What’s Happening sees people too young to vote confront power, complacency, children’s rights and the future.'
