about.

 Douglas & Mackay

Gilbert Douglas & Margie Mackay are co-Artistic Directors of the works they create,

and are based in Boolarra in the Latrobe Valley, West Gippsland, Australia.

D&M create art events from intimate & indoor to epic-scale & site-specific.

Best described as 'contemporary ceremonies' their works blur boundaries between art & ritual.

Grounded in place & moment, these events are richly textured explorations of participatory art,

ceremonial & choreographic forms, with "art of community" practices.


 D&M are committed to creating works of high artistic merit & infectious community spirit by coordinating teams of collaborators, of all abilities & identities, in emplaced works that speak to the spirit of the times. Much of their work takes place in outdoor & non conventional theatre spaces, utilising the aesthetic & artistic possibilities of varied & often challenging sites.

Highly experienced & respected practitioners in community cultural development, they have collaborated in works across Australia, Zimbabwe and in South Africa, & individually throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, USA, South America and Australia.
