M’ck McKeague
M’ck McKeague is a performance maker, set and costume designer and installation artist currently working between Brisbane and Melbourne. M’ck graduated from QUT’s BFA (Drama) in 2013 and VCA’s Master of Design for Performance in 2018. Before relocating to Melbourne from Brisbane, M’ck’s career highlights included: collaborating on queer, bilingual music theatre works in non-traditional spaces with artists working between Korea and Australia, including sell out seasons of 지하 Underground in Brisbane and Seoul, the development and presentation of The 떡볶이 Box (The Dokboki Box) at Federation Square for Next Wave Festival 2014.
Since moving to Melbourne and completing post graduate study at VCA, M’ck has deepened their dramaturgical methodology, expanded their technical skillset and significantly increased their capacity to deliver rigorous and compelling work. In 2019, M’ck received a Career Development Grant from the Australia Council for the Arts to visit New York City as a guest artist for the Trans Lab Fellowship (supported by Public Theatre and WP Theatre) and to present at Prague Quadrennial of Design for Performance as part of the PQ Talks program. M’ck is currently collaborating on new works with All the Queens Men, Polyglot Theatre, Elbow Room and Company Bad.
Dissatisfied with master narratives and the systems and spaces that uphold them, M’ck seeks out collaborative scenographic practices that embrace difference and disrupt privilege in process, form and content.
