On the VCE Playlist in 2026, Cut Chilli sears through the messy tangle of adoption fraud, interracial families and belonging with a real kick.

SHARING CULTURE VIA THE STAGE: Following on from Jordan Shea's Keynote asking 'What is an Australian play?', this panel examines what it means to share culture on stage. How generous should we be when it comes to sharing our culture, particularly when it's not just our own stories at stake, but our community's? What are the considerations and responsibilities when we represent our community on the stage? And why do we do it?
FEATURING: Chenturan Aran, Joanne Kee, and Tracey Rigney
CHAIR: Courtney Stewart

FEMINIST VOICES: More women and non-binary artists are now in key creatives roles where they are not just participating, but leading, innovating, and redefining what theatre can be. As playwrights, directors, dramaturgs and producers, their perspectives and contributions are transforming the Australian cultural landscape. But what has it taken to get here? And how do we continue opening up new doors for future generations?
FEATURING: Amy Sole, Courtney Stewart, and Laneikka Denne
