2021. Art Doco is co-created by Takeshi Kondo of Man of the Tree, and Green Room Awards Association Co-Presidents Sapidah Kian and Eugyeene Teh. It is presided over by the Art Oracle, Erica McCalman.
“An Art Doco?”, you say. “But why?”
For the past 38 years, the primary output of the Green Room Awards Association has been to present an awards ceremony celebrating the best in Victorian performing arts. However, last year was one of challenge, change and adaptation. The sector navigated the slings and arrows of COVID, closing venues, going into lockdown and watching the industry come to a grinding halt. In short, we’ve changed, and we want to celebrate the Victorian performing arts sector while acknowledging the seismic shifts that occurred in 2020.
Each Green Room panel has deliberated over how to best represent their part of the industry, so for 2021 you’ll notice that our nominations and awards may look different. Nominations, acknowledgments and some awards will be announced via Green Room Awards social media channels in the coming weeks.
