About hillsceneLIVE
hillsceneLIVE is an independent development program and arts festival celebrating experimental, emerging, and interdisciplinary art practices. We champion artists who take bold creative risks, challenge norms, and open space for new conversations. Our program supports the development of live and immersive works across performance, theatre, dance, sound art, spoken word, cabaret, durational performance, and those boundary-pushing works that defy categorisation.
The 2026 festival season will see hillsceneLIVE evolve into a hybrid program of in-person and digital activations, delivered across the Dandenong Ranges and online.
This exciting transition allows us to engage with wider communities, foster deeper artistic relationships, and offer a festival experience that is dynamic, inclusive, and responsive to the evolving creative landscape.
