Charlie Lee is a production designer, writer and performance maker from Aotearoa working across dance, text, costume making and film. Led by queer/trans* ecological methodologies and aesthetics of collapse, they make work which is contaminated by precarious balances and feelings of anticipation. Charlie is interested in how design and text can act as choreographic agents, and problematise dualistic understandings of the body and world. They hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) from the Victorian College of the Arts. Recent design projects include short film Emile is Missing (2024), and dance works Time Under Tension (Luke George, 2024), and Air Hunger (Lucy Eidelson, 2023). They were also part of the Emerging Writers Program at Seventh Gallery in 2024, and have published writing with Blindside Gallery. Currently they co-facilitate Trans Ecology Club, a reading and project group for more than human thinking.

    Jamil Badi is a writer living on unceded Wurundjeri land.
