Next Wave Festival
Next Wave is a biennial festival based in Melbourne, Australia, which promotes and showcases the work of young and emerging artists. Encouraging interdisciplinary practice, Next Wave fosters the creation and presentation of works by artists aged 16 to 30 working across a broad range of art forms, including dance, theatre, visual arts, performance, new media, and literature.
Next Wave is also an artist development organisation and in non-festival years, it runs a development program called Kickstart, with the potential of their works being performed in the following year's festival program.
In August 2007, Next Wave also presented Free Play: The Next Wave Independent Game Developers' Conference, at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.

With your harmonious choir
Encircle her I love and sing her into peace,
That my old care may cease....”
