ANDREW SUTHERLANDAUTHOR & THEATRE PRACTITIONER




I am a writer and performance-maker from 
between Boorloo (Perth) and Singapore, now based 
in Naarm on the unceded lands of the Kulin nation. 

I am Queer and Poz (PLHIV), and my work draws on the
viral instabilities of identity, pop culture and the autofictive self. 

My debut poetry collection Paradise (point of transmission) 
was published by Fremantle Press in 2022, and my second,
Act Cute
, is forthcoming in July 2025.

I work in the performance space as maker, director, 
performer, dramaturg, arts educator, and mentor. 
I have been part of the creation of dozens of performance works
across the independent sector, particularly in Western Australia. 
 
I am a current PhD candidate at Victorian College of the Arts, 
pursuing practice-as-research on the 'haunted repertoires'
surrounding the HIV+ undetectable subject.
