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.

Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or festival:
“As the bird trims her to the gale,
I trim myself to the storm of time,
I man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
“Lowly faithful, banish fear,
Right onward drive unharmed;
The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
And every wave is charmed.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
