We’re heading into peak touring season with diaries full and stages busy across Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The days are long, but the reward is in delighting audiences night after night.
While managing the excitement of live touring, we’re also keeping momentum on future programming, with a host of new shows soon to be announced.
We never take for granted the privilege of delighting both our artists and audiences, and this year we’ve been taking the time to capture more of those moments to share with you. Our videographers and photographers are hard at work in the edit suite, finessing new content across case studies, audience experiences, and backstage glimpses of what truly happens behind the stage.
While there have been many highlights this month (with case studies still in progress), the spotlight rightly falls on the just-wrapped CHEEK LIVE: Everything is F*cked tour with Hannah Ferguson.
From Brisbane’s QPAC Concert Hall and Perth’s Heath Ledger Theatre to the Sydney Opera House, the tour travelled the length and breadth of Australia, delighting more than 10,000 fans along the way.
Armed with analysis, opinions, a moral compass, a microphone – and a growing movement of supporters who want to see good, do good and care – Hannah cut through the noise to explore where we are, how we got here, what lies ahead, and the power we each have to influence change.
There were multiple standing ovations, one of the most memorable when Antoinette Lattouf, barefoot, joined Hannah on stage at the Sydney Opera House for an impromptu conversation.
Case Study: Hannah Ferguson for G Adventures – Brand Storytelling on Tour
Fane was delighted to partner with G Adventures to transform a national live tour into a multi-city activation where the brand witnessed genuine, in-the-moment audience reactions first hand.
Read the case study on how this collaboration moved beyond static sponsorship to create narrative-driven integration that connected the brand message to the show’s themes in an authentic and entertaining way.
Alice Zaslavsky for Erstwilder
Those who know me (or even just see me) know I have a penchant for brooches. Especially, Erstwilder’s quirky wearable art that I’ve been collecting since the label started. So, it was a sincere joy for me to see this collaboration, which we started working on in 2024 be released to the delight of quirky-art-wearing “broochies”.
The collection is an ode to Alice’s award-winning cookbook, In Praise of Veg and a colourful collaboration that celebrates produce like you’ve never seen before. View (or shop!) the Erstwilder x In Praise of Veg collection here.

READ: Entagled Life – How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures. We’re deep in pre-production mode for Merlin Sheldrake’s upcoming tour and I’ve not yet had the opportunity to read this global bestseller. However, after seeing the production preview of his show, I think this book will be moved quickly toward the top of my TBR stack. Having seen the visuals from his show, snippets of Fungi: The Web of Life IMAX documentary and reviews, I know this is a must-read. Find a local bookseller here, or if you’re coming along to a show (tour info here), limited signed copies will be available.
“Wondrous… [A] marvellous tour of these diverse and extraordinary life forms… eye-opening… humans should consider fungi among the greatest of earth’s marvels.” –TIME MAGAZINE
“Entangled Life is gorgeous! Enjoying it very much! Despair of the future of life on earth? Never mind, there will be fungus among us. One way or another.” – Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale
“This book is like one surprise after another.” – David Byrne, ROLLING STONE
