Professor Judith McLean is the Chair of Arts Education at the Queensland University of Technology and Scholar in residence at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre. The role is a unique collaboration between the two entities and McLean’s role is to inspire and build points of connection in arts learning within arts and non-arts institutions and communities across Australia and internationally.
McLean designed and currently leads the Australia Council’s Senior Leaders Program which is a twelve-month project where leaders from across the globe meet in different Australian regions building their own and their organisation’s capacity. Mclean’s areas of expertise include: arts practice, brain based learning, developmental and psychoanalytical theory, leadership studies and adult learning.
She has led ground-breaking inroads as a teaching artist working in and across non-traditional sectors: health and engineering as well as a range of arts based programs/projects. The common thread operating across these disparate sectors over a 30-year career is an ability to re-purpose and transfer the knowledge and skills of the teaching artist’s practice to explore self-expression, identity and creativity in the workplace.
Rebecca is Director of Public Engagement and Learning at Queensland Performing Arts Centre. She leads a team of teaching artists, producers and arts managers to curate and deliver programs that build context, increase participation and support audiences and communities to make meaning through live performance. One of the key initiatives produced by the team is the internationally recognised Out of the Box Festival for Children under 8. Rebecca is also the Editor of QPAC’s Story magazine, a biannual publication featuring some of the world’s leading writers, artists and thinkers exploring ideas in art, performance, placemaking and learning.
Over the last 20 years, Rebecca has worked with large and small arts organisations including performing arts centres, literary festivals, visual arts, youth programming and education, libraries and museums. Her work spans non-profit administration and leadership, strategic planning, critical analysis, conceptual development, research, consultation, programming and evaluation. She was the first Australian accepted as an International Fellow of the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC.
Originally training as a journalist at The University of Queensland, Rebecca has a Master of Arts in Cultural and Media Policy from Griffith University.
