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:
““Speaking of contraries, see how the brook
In that white wave runs counter to itself.
It is from that in water we were from
Long, long before we were from any creature.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
