WELCOME Critical Path’s Annual Report 2020 sets out the activities of the organisation over the twelve-month reporting period. Let’s stop for a moment though and reflect on what 2020 saw. It was an incredibly confronting time for so many people and businesses and has changed the way we work, play and engage with each other in a monumental way. Critical Path has been through a year of change as well, with a change of Chair and farewelling of the previous Chair, Shane Carol, as well as changing and evolving how we work with artists in these times.

As this is my first message as the new Chair I don’t feel like it’s at all my place to speak about what the organisation went through in 2020, I started in September after a lot of the brunt of Covid-19’s initial impact on the sector had already been felt. I believe that during this trying time Critical Path worked hard to continue its role of s ector support, being at the forefront of choreographic research and being a voice within the sector.

Very early on in the first conversations I had with Claire and Shane we spoke about what the organisation’s place is, especially during times like this. In June 2020 we saw the resurgence across the

world of conversations sparked by the Black Lives Matter movement and the Aboriginal Deaths in Custody movement.

Diversity, representation, equality and equity aren’t conversations that we ever stopped having in the dance sector and Critical Path is not one to shy away from these topics or to overstep our place within those conversations.

I am the first Gamilaroi Chair of Critical Path. I want to be very clear that this doesn’t make Critical Path a First Nations organisation in any way. We will continue to advocate across the board for a diverse dance sector led by the people that diversity claims to represent. When I was asked by Shane and Claire if I was interested in joining the board, I didn’t immediately affirm my place, I took the time to evaluate Critical Path through my lens. Around the same time, I was approached by other organisations in the arts sector about coming onto their boards as an Aboriginal representative and I wanted to make sure that if I said yes, it was for the right reasons. I wanted to make sure Critical Path didn’t just talk the talk. Critical Path is still on its journey, but it is walking along the right path and being guided by principles that help to ensure it stays on track.

5

We work incredibly closely with partner organisations and our own teams to help keep us accountable and continue to serve artists and art as our core mission.

I would like to take a moment to look towards the future. I am incredibly inspired by both the other board members of Critical Path, especially the passion and consideration of the artist representatives, but also the staff of the organisation.

The last year has seen a few changes in staff and structure and I would like to thank those who have departed the organisation for their time and dedication and welcome those new staff into the fold.

We appreciate you coming on this journey with us; I am excited to also be a part of the shared connection we represent as Critical Path’s family.

The Director, Claire Hicks has done an amazing job to lead the organisation particularly through the ups and downs of the last year. Funding and delivery of projects and programs has been an incredibly challenge which Claire and the team have delivered on. Claire’s wealth of knowledge and experience in strategic planning continues to be the lynchpin for Critical Path. Claire is the driving force of the organisation and her energy and commitment to Critical Path’s

vision and the artists it serves is deeply appreciated. As we go forward, I know that she is working with an incredible team that will ensure the organisation continues to learn and develop as it delivers its vital work.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES Critical Path is a choreographic research and development centre based at the Drill Hall, a large rehearsal space on the harbour in central Sydney, Australia.

Our mission is to cultivate a program of research and practice development opportunities for choreographers and dance makers, nurturing diversity and excellence in a supportive critical environment which fosters creative risk-taking.

With a distinct focus on research and innovation, we support Australian choreographers to incubate new ideas and experiments in our studio so that excellent new work can make it to our stages. We aim to nourish a genuinely independent dance company as they push the boundaries of existing practice in relation to local and international fields, enhancing the vibrancy of the Australian dance sector.

We emphasise our role as a hub, a space for the independent artists to congregate, cross fertilise, debate, critique. A place connected into the broader arts sector through a host of partnerships.

ACTIVITIES Research Residencies | Labs and Workshops | Discourse & Sharing | Creative Response to the Climate Emergency | Interchange

RESEARCH RESIDENCIES The Responsive Program emphasises the value of risk–taking for future choreographic development and seeks to give choreographers an opportunity to innovate their practices in an environment that promotes open discovery and experimentation.

The program encourages self–directed and collaborative proposals by Independent choreographic artists that reflect their particular interests and goals. We have had many artists working at the Drill throughout the year engaged in research on their own artistic practice. This work has taken place in line with Covid-19 government restrictions and guidelines. As a workplace we moved all those activities that could be undertaken at home out of the Drill and our partner spaces, some work was re-shaped or postponed.

At the heart of CP’s work are our Responsive Research Residencies. Our annual program of residencies invites artists, to bring their research to us; new ideas, practice, collaborations, reflections. Participants selected by peers receive space and financial support.

Sarah Pini Interdisciplinary researcher, anthropologist and choreographer Sarah Pini worked remotely with collaborators Jestin George, biolotechnologist and visual artist, and Melissa Ramos, visual artist and filmmaker. Sarah continued the research started in January 2019 during Critical Path’s ‘Choreographic Hack Lab’.

Together with her collaborators they explored ideas around what art, dance and movement could do for our society in facing and (re)thinking the Anthropocene, and how an embodied perspective can challenge and transform our cultural assumptions and why we should care. They tackled how dance and choreographic thinking in conversation with synthetic biology hold the potential to transform our bodies (self, social and politic), reshape our future and cope with uncertain times.

Jane McKernon Sydney based choreographer and member of The Fondue Set, Jane McKernan investigated how to continue as a mid-career middle-aged dance artist in Sydney after living in the UK for 4 years. Her research had multiple strands, the first being research into coming back to the body as the site of her dance practice, and back to artistic practice as her primary focus, asking, ‘What is my dancing body now?’. Secondly, she had conversations with other mid-career middle-aged dance artists around the subject of existence and continuation. Lastly, she used The Unnamable by Samuel Beckett as a philosophic underpinning, and as a provocation towards moving and writing about the notion of existence, identity and uncertain futures.

Patricia Wood Choreographer Patricia Wood and composer Benedict Carey worked together, remotely and at the Drill, for the collective research, under the framework of Mimetic/ Memetic Practice. Through a physical process of exchange, they looked closely at the nuanced relationship between sound, technology and choreography. They explored the development of a unified and dynamic language emerging between and beyond them – utilising the production of scores and creative frameworks, mediated by the authoring and co-reading of various kinds of scores. Writer, film-maker and body practitioner Cleo Mees embodied another feedback loop by participating in an attempt to physicalise a resonant field where information was tenuously negotiated and articulated between them.

Rhiannon Newton Rhiannon continued her research into questions relating to making sense of, and with, the world. Following on from recent somatic practice studies she explored how touch-based technologies, cybernetic models, biological storytelling and feeling-led knowledge systems support movements, of chemical, nervous and fictive kinds, across fleshy borders and different scales. Due to Covid restrictions her research focused on solo practice. Rhiannon’s research was taken forward at the end of 2020 into a new duet for presentation in Sydney festival. She will continue her exploration in a lab in 2021 with key collaborators.

Yolande Brown Yolande Brown collaborated with harpist, Mary Doumany to research the technical and physical possibilities between dancer and harp: the interplay of physical and aural resonance, and culture. Being a Bidjara woman, Yolande is drawn to not only researching her own heritage, but to questioning our Country’s history of assimilation practices and the consequential loss suffered by her family and all First Nations’ people.

Two forces … two cultures … two disciplines … two breaths … inhabiting space and time; within this there can be obliviousness, appreciation, understanding, reciprocity, respect, or on the other hand there can be intrusion, aggravation, domination, subjugation and war.

The artists will explore the inhabitation of a defined space/body, through presence, through movement, and through contact – physically and aurally – and a questioning of how we are inhabited, to varying degrees, by our environs, by the influence of others and by our own emotions. Through physicality, and using three elements – dancer, harp and musician – they will question how the spirit and mind dance in tandem, a delicate balance that can be thrown off kilter by often unbeknown or unrecognised triggers.

Matt Cornell Matt worked through choreography, music and writing to discover and deepen analogues between bodies of water and our human bodies. Exploring issues and ideas around the value and ways we measure value in the labour force, job markets alongside that of water futures, and the trading of water options and the privatisation of the bodies and/of water. Howe do we feel about and identify fresh water? In what ways to we understand humanity and personhood and what does it mean to commodify and value these.

Matt collaborated with diverse artists in his research including Amy Shang, Elle Evangelist, Rhiannon Newton and Sebastian Henry Jones.

Following this research Matt hosted a digital project showing for ‘Tropical Glaciers’. He shared video and text and playlists. This sharing was part of the reflection before taking the next exploratory steps with this project.

Charemaine Seet Charemaine is exploring the movement vocabulary of her own dialect group’s version of Chinese opera, Teochew opera. Charemaine began in 2020 online (due to Covid) to learn xiaosheng and huadan movements from Zenn Lim Soo Hiang, who has been performing Teochew opera more than 45 years. The project is a deep exploration of the movement vocabulary of an art form Charemaine grew up with in Malaysia and Singapore. Charemaine is interested to consider, how this exploration connects with and influences her dance practice which is based on North American modernist and postmodernist traditions.

Kirk Page and Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal 2019 Responsive Recipients Kirk Page and Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal were able to reconnect with Indigenous Elder Matthew Doyle for a ‘renewal’ session.

Kirk and Jade’s research asked what is the pivotal role of smoke in spiritual health – landscape, body and ritual. The research explores Indigenous approaches to wisdom and how to revive vitality, burning off the physical waste and promote finding new pathways together.

Henrietta Baird This year’s Critical Path Associate Artist Henrietta Baird engaged in research in relation to her project Plant A Promise (working title). Plant A Promise is a project growing out of Henrietta’s ongoing research into native plants, First People’s land management practices and climate change. Building on work in the Chore-Hack Lab early 2019 and discussions during the Indigenous Artists Workshop – Articulating Practice Henrietta is exploring the opportunities to use dance and installation as a choreographic tool to create a socially engaged project on the subject of climate change.

The 2020 research activity included the testing of new ideas with a number of advisors, including possible collaborators, and the shaping of practice for Henrietta in relation to the needs of her project.

26

Dean Walsh Choreographer, performer, educator and movement researcher, Dean Walsh’s latest production, Infinite Item, is a work focusing on environmental themes. Infinite Item was originally planned as a 3-day “mini festival” of events, talks, workshops and presentation, called, You Are Here!

As with countless events this gathering of community around intersections between art, environmental science, Climate Change concerns and more unorthodox methods of communicating these intersectional concerns was reshaped by the COVID-19 lockdown. The continued uncertainty instigated the need to adapt and to move to an online version of sharing.

Dean decided to put all his efforts into finalising Infinite Item as a large scale “solo” work and to ensure, with his team of experienced artists and technologists, that two initial intimate “try-out” presentations were delivered for small in person groups and at best possible broadcast quality online.

Critical Path supported with 4 weeks of space, an initial research bursary (supported by Woollahra Municipal Council) and some funds towards the digital streaming and capture.

Space Grants We offered a number of space grants in 2020 responding to the need for artists local to our base to continue to work in a dedicated dance space.

Space grants were offered at the start of the year to Noha Ramadan (AUS-Netherlands) and to international artist Priya Mistry (UK, a collaboration with Chisenhale Dance, supported by the British Council).

Noha is developing a long-term video, dance and textiles project which explores the phenomenological and philosophical themes of orientation, proximity, braiding, weaving and visibility/projection. Noha will use her time at the Drill to process past iterations of the research and focus on her own movement practices within it.

Four Australia based artists Nikki Lam, Melissa Gilbert (Offerings), Frauke Huhn and Kate O’Boyle joined Priya in an exploratory week of grief, celebration, anger and beginnings. They met online for over 4 days. Central to their time together they explored “The body as a ‘vessel’ physically and neurologically, holding experience and trauma whilst storing information, impulses and patterns. And the question, “does human expression need to be more ‘psycho’, more ‘imagined’, ‘extreme’ or shamanic even?”

During their sessions they questioned: How do we take something that was intended to be a deep, intimate delving, a physical meeting of multiple bodies in one space, and convert it into digital platforms, Zooms, Messenger chats, File sharing, performing to camera, wailing and bashing objects into sound files and being held to account by a stop clock and a clanging sound you can’t see but can hear?

A short textural response for the 4 days they spent together: An intimate exploration rippling into something new, unexpected, yet expanding.

A collective conjuring, drawing of lines a coven of notes, gathering foreign bodies and an exhalation of sounds.

Unexpected.

Objects oscillating between apparition & function, fixing lines and pulling scores from our bodies.

Evolving subtly through disparate electricity penetrating our day to day lives.

The artists together created a palette of shared images, drawings, sounds, performances and texts.

Body as a Vessel was…

Shape and sound downloading from the storage space of your body and soul transferring energy through the digital space disappearing -getting lost- finding access-login in into my body evoking new spaces… and has opened up possibilities in their practice about digital bodies and gestures.

Chloé Déchery (FR) spent a week in the Research Room navigating reading material and doing bouts of writing around her lecture-performance, “Under names other than mines”, around the use of alter egos in women’s creative work within contemporary art history.

During the residency, Chloé also met and talked through her projects with different Sydney-based makers and theorists including Theron Schmidt, Cat Jones, Jane McKernan, Julie-Anne Long and Barbara Formis (Lecturer in Aesthetics and Philosophy at Sorbonne Paris 1). The process involved conversations and informal interviews with female artists, mixing insights into documentary material and auto-fiction with reworking of more hefty theoretical material.

During March Dance we supported artists Reina Takeuchi, Patricia Wood, Jodie McNeilly, Adrina Petrosian.

Also in the first part of the year Matt Cornell received a Space Grant for Responsive ‘renewal’ work taking forward his project from 2019… He continued dancing with his collaborators as a process for thinking through liquidity as it impales fresh water and human bodies, financialising them into global trade ecologies.

During the early Covid-19 lock-down Space Grants continued for Alice Weber and Adam Linder who worked within regulations on their solo practice.

Alice developed her research around digital and long-distance intimacies, signification and scale. Through a variety of choreographic forms, from online dance class to public signage, Alice explored how desire and the banal meet in the body to disrupt standardisations of space, time and relating.

Adam worked on further developing some of the dance material derived from his exhibition at MoMA earlier in 2020.

Across the second part of the year following a Call Out Space Grants were given to Emma Maye Gibson, Lux Eterna, Natasha Sturgis, Daniela Zambrano – Plonova Dance, Tra Mi Dinh, Vishnu Arunasalam - Agal Dance Company.

A collaboration with Dance Makers Collective provided space for their own project with Lee Serle and Katina Olsen. Karen Kerkhoven was given space for another ‘edition’ of On The Cusp, this imagined as a recorded edition shared online. They used video and digital streaming to take audiences through digital outcomes of performances that were going to be presented in real-time.

Paulina Quinteros was given a Space Grant to augment work she was carrying out at the Drill (as a hirer) and Annalouise Paul was given space twice during 2020 to support the independent project she was undertaking in the local area.

Dancing Sydney Archive Project In previous stages of this project 8 artists had been invited to consider the archiving of their body of work, in relation to the question of archive, legacy and its role in their current practice.

Artists 2017-2019: Anandavalli, Branch Nebula, Dean Walsh, Frances Rings, Julie-Anne Long, Kay Armstrong, Martin Del Amo, Rakini Devi.

A final group on the project starting at the end of 2019 with Narelle Benjamin and running into 2020 with Alan Schacher, The Fondue Set and Vicki Van Hout participated in research orientation led by Amanda Card (University of Sydney) after which each artist drew up an outline of how they want to approach their own archive project.

Approaches varied as always and let to a range of sharings and documentation as the artists from this and previous ‘rounds’ took research forward.

LABS AND WORKSHOPS Space to Fail An international residency ‘exchange’ that through its focus on dance-making processes sits in opposition to the sector’s priority of product / performance-making, by allowing time and space for artists to simply work without fear of failure. The project was realised with the partnership of Hyde Productions (Christchurch, New Zealand), The Dance Centre (Vancouver, Canada) and Critical Path (Sydney, Australia).

Continuing on from their 2019 residency in Vancouver, Canada, artists Alice Weber from Australia, Ileanna Cheladyn and Vanessa Goodman from Canada and Alexa Wilson from New Zealand participated in a residency in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Why is this Contemporary?

Second PYT Fairfield partnership lab across the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney.

The lab explored contemporary dance practice, making space for different movement practices in our culture to share and work together. Participating artists from Western Sydney were Eliam ‘Royalness’ Motu, Neda Taha, Anna Kuroda with facilitation by Martin del Amo.

Keir Choreographic Award Following from 2016 & 18 partnerships a collaboration with DanceHouse provided opportunities in Melbourne for Rhiannon Newton (former Dancehouse housemate) and Ryuchi Fujimura to take part in workshops with Claudia La Rocco and Takao Kawaguchi.

Claudia’s writing/making/thinking/talking lab was for artists interested to explore collectively shaped questions and speculations.

Takao’s workshop connected the histories mapped by controversial sociologist Laud Humphreys to contemporary practices, as well as to the policing and pleasuring of bodies today and queer sociality.

Takao also spent time exploring and improvising with local artists Paul Walker and Gideon Payten-Griffiths in Sydney.

‘Mysteries’ Lab Is there a place for magic in contemporary dance? During our ‘Mysteries’ Lab artists working with related ideas related shared their choreographic ideas and approaches.

Participating artists were Gabrielle Bates, Latai Taumoepaeu, Leo Cremonese, Peter Swain, WeiZen Ho, with David Ryan. A collaboration with Cementa the lab took place in Kandos, NSW.

Da:ns Lab 2021 – Online Satellite Gathering Da:ns Lab 2021 collaboration with Dance Nucleus, Singapore. da:ns lab is an annual artist meeting as part of the da:ns festival presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay in Singapore, and produced by Dance Nucleus since 2018. The theme for 2020 was CO-IMMUNITY : How To Dance When We Are All Ill. Critical Path led the Australia Satellite bringing 8 artists into a process with 42 others drawn from Hong Kong, India, Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan. Australian artists were Adrienne Semmens, Gabriela Green Olea, Patricia Wood, Matt Cornell, Mish Gregor, Taree Sansbury, Raghav Handa, Rakini Devi and Reina Takeuchi.

International satellites included Gati Dance (India) and Sipat Lawin / Komunidad X (Philippines) along with CCDC in Hong Kong and Thinkers’ Studio in Taiwan.

Experimental Choreography Residency with Performance Space In the FIFTH annual iteration of Critical Path’s joint Residency for Experimental Choreography with Performance Space, Nat Randell and Anna Brecon undertook research toward their new work Set Piece. This work brings together film and theatre citations, interview material and improvisation to explore homosexual coupledom through the lens of power dynamics and erotic power play. Through deidealising portraits of the couple, Set Piece explores the abject nature of sexuality and desire, modes of competition and contempt generated by the immobility of the form, and the ways in which desire and attachment are bound up in broader hierarchical social organizations. Choreographic experiments have been the focus of the ECR residency for performers and camera operators.

DISCOURSE & SHARING Talking Dance These panel conversations, dialogues and forums make space for artists to exchange ideas and knowledge and to open this up to a wider public audience. A first Talking Dance project ran as part of our Dancing the Drill celebration at the end of February (see Sharings below) - artists Jasmin Shepard, Matthew Doyle and Yolande Brown participated.

The second Talking Dance: Dance Ecologies was led by Martin del Amo and included artists Katina Olsen, Rhiannon Newton and Victoria Hunt in conversation as part of a larger writing/online project (other artists were Angela Goh, Ivey Wawn, Jade Dewi, Kirk Page, Taree Sansbury and Thomas E. S. Kelly).

Centred around a series of conversations, designed to explore more deeply the way independent choreographers work within the Australian arts sector, and how Critical Path relates to that inter-relationship, Martin’s interviews with the artists have been distilled into three texts.

The project concluded with a public conversation between Martin and Rhiannon, Victoria and Katina, where each artist discussed the project and shared some further insights into their artistic practice.

The final Talking Dance ran as part of the Asian Network for Dance (AND+) meeting online. With a focus on Indonesia (originally planned as taking place in Jakarta) the activities included closed core group meetings, invited sessions on the relationship between industry and the academy with a new project in planning as the ‘hook’ of the dialogue and on pan-Asia practice development intensives. The project invited presentations to the core group by guests from Indonesia and commissioned a presentation on Indonesian contemporary practice from the three curators of Indonesian Dance Festival (IDF). The latter disseminated to 10 practitioners by each core group member (140 in total, including 20 to Australia). CP Director Claire Hicks was co-convener for the meeting ‘series’ and CP commissioned two guest talks with Melati Suryodarmo and Keni Soeriaatmadja and the IDF curators’ presentation.

Critical Dialogues CP’s e-journal for promotion and dissemination of creative research & thinking was issued in two editions in 2020.

The first was guest edited by Jodie McNeilly Renaudie and explored digital technologies in research, development, and practice. As technology develops and improves, choreographers and performers explore the possibilities digital media can offer to the process of creating and performing dance. The contributing artists’ texts, audios, videos and images focus on the relationship between the live body and the digital technologies that become part of their daily life and an influence on the process of their work discipline. Contributions from Eddie Ladd, Matt Cornell, Monica Stevens and Simo Kellokumpu.

A second edition linked into to CP’s Dancing Sydney Archive Project, edited in-house by Claire Hicks and Elizabeth Chua. This issue of Critical Dialogues focuses on dance archives and specifically that of choreographers with an established and significant relationship with the City of Sydney. It marked the end of the first stage of a wider project, Dancing Sydney: Mapping Movements : Performing Histories, a partnership between Critical Path and the University of Sydney, University of New South Wales and Macquarie University, working with twelve artists/artist group from 2016 – 2020 (detailed above).

The publication features writing by Amanda Card, Kay Armstrong, Narelle Benjamin, Julie-Anne Long, Dean Walsh, Vicki Van Hout, The Fondue Set (Jane McKernan, Elizabeth Ryan and Emma Saunders), Melati Suryodarmo, Ghenoa Gela and Erin Brannigan.

Sharings and Studio Presentations Research and visiting artists opened up their process and/or present within the studio – within program above. This was curtailed by Covid, but many participating artists found alternate ways to continue to share their work and/or to meet restrictions whilst engaging with community around their practice. This included Dean Walsh Online (up to 20 people) ‘Open Studio’ sessions for Dean’s Infinite Item project took place in June, with a limited number of people attending in person.

Two ‘try-out’ presentations in July, by invitation only, shared the work with industry peers, local community and those engaged in issues related to climate change.

Dancing the Drill Marking 15 years of Critical Path the program included, opening research and development at the Drill in Woollahra to the public. Residencies and sharing that fed into this were those by Jane McKernan and Rhiannon Newtown. Alongside this, public talks with Jasmine Shepard, Matthew Doyle and Yolande Brown were disseminated online.

Dancing Sydney Archive Project Final stage of multi-year project to explore the role of archiving in the current work and future legacy of a group of 12 significant independent Sydney dance-makers. Reflection, public sharing and the creation of a publication (as above) provided artists and audiences with an opportunity to celebrate the work of dancers whose work is rooted in the city.

Erin Brannigan (University of New South Wales) interviewed each artist creating a ‘portrait’ as part of a collaboration with the State Library of New South Wales. Erin works in dance and film as a journalist, academic and curator.

In 2020 the project was completed by a host of sharing activities live and online by 12 artists.

40

Delving into Dance An exciting partnership with online project Delving into Dance gave Critical Path the chance to commission 12 artists to create some form of online text on the subject of Why Dance Matters Now. These 12 new dialogue works were available to the public in the first part of 2020.

Artists participating were Bronwen Kamanz,Don Asker, Emma Wilson, Jonathan Homsey, Kayley Palmer, Leisa Prowd along with those featured in Interchange.

CREATIVE RESPONSE TO THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY CP’s exploration around a Creative Response to the Climate Emergency, initiated in 2019 continued in 2020 with a focus on supporting artists who are engaging through their practice. Dean Walsh, Henrietta Baird and Matt Cornell all explored issues and concerns of climate change and these were raised also in conversations through Jodie McNeilly’s Critical Dialogues.

The team also considered this in going forward with specific plans and projects. Space to Fail shifted from a two locations project in Christchurch and Sydney to a single based and the Critical Path team did not travel to Christchurch, the lab was managed in situ solely by our New Zealand partner.

A conversation around a possible future online AND+ meeting (initiated in Tokyo February 2020) was pulled forward due to Covid allowing us to test the model of an online gathering at the end of the year for the ‘Indonesia’ meeting.

41

INTERCHANGE Interchange Festival 2019-20 was an online festival that brought together international and national professionals that have included digital media in their practice.

Artists reflected upon the challenges, opportunities, and limitations of working with digital media in their own experience, as well as its influence on the process of their work. The festival provided artists with the opportunity to connect and work together from different locations, or at different times and their interactions shared online.

Part of CP’s larger Digital Drill strand of work the festival allowed us to try out different kinds of interactions for and with artists, to create a new mini-website and to commission new writings and videos for public sharing.

Artists Matthew Doyle, Charemaine Seet, Margie Medlin and Choy Ka Fai created new ‘conversations’ with other artists and for public. Adrianne Semmens & Jennifer Eadie, Alison Plevey, Ira Ferris, Simon Ellis & Shaun McLeod and Tsuki Becoming created ‘articles’ for CP in partnership with Delving into Dance as part of a larger commissioning project.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2020 Critical Path Incorporated 1.

General information and statement of compliance

The financial report includes the financial statements and notes of Critical Path Incorporated.

These financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards ­Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012.

Critical Path Incorporated is a not-for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 were approved and authorised for issuance by the Committee members.

2.

Changes in accounting policies

2.1 There are no new and revised standards that are effective for these financial statements 3.

Summary of accounting policies

3.1 Overall considerations The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarised below.

The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by Australian Accounting Standards for each type of asset, liability, income and expense.

The measurement bases are more fully described in the accounting policies below.

52

3.2 Revenue Revenue comprises revenue from the sale of goods, services income, government grants, fundraising activities and client contributions. Revenue from major activities and services is shown in Note 4.

Revenue is measured by reference to the fair value of consideration received or receivable by the Association for goods supplied and services provided, excluding sales taxes, rebates, and trade discounts.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, collection is probable, the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably, and when the criteria for each of the Association’s different activities have been met. Details of the activity-specific recognition criteria are described below.

Government grants A number of the Association’s programs are supported by grants received from Federal, State and Local governments. If conditions are attached to a grant which must be satisfied before the Association is eligible to receive the contribution, recognition of the grant as revenue is deferred until those conditions are satisfied.

Where a grant is received on the condition that specified services are delivered, to the grantor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction. Revenue is recognised as services are performed and at year–end until the service is delivered.

Revenue from a non-reciprocal grant that is not subject to conditions is recognised when the Association obtains control of the funds, economic benefits are probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Where a grant may be required to be repaid if certain conditions are not satisfied, a liability is recognised at year end to the extent that conditions remain unsatisfied.

Where the Association receives a non-reciprocal contribution of an asset from a government or other party for no or nominal consideration, the asset is recognised at fair value and a corresponding amount of revenue is recognised.

53

Donations and bequests Donations collected, including cash and goods for resale, are recognised as revenue when the Association gains control, economic benefits are probable and the amount of the donation can be measured reliably.

Bequests are recognised when the legacy is received. Revenue from legacies comprising bequests of shares or other property are recognised at fair value, being the market value of the shares or property at the date the Association becomes legally entitled to the shares or property.

Interest income Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

3.3 Operating expenses Operating expenses are recognised in surplus or deficit upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin.

3.4 Intangible assets Recognition of other intangible assets: Acquired intangible assets Website construction costs as well as acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific website and software.

Subsequent measurement All intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. In addition, they are subject to impairment testing as described in Note 3.14. The following useful lives are applied:

54

•

Database development: 25%

•

Software: 25% - 33%

•

Website: 33%[4]

Subsequent expenditures on the maintenance of computer software, brand names and website are expensed as incurred.

When an intangible asset is disposed of, the gain or loss on disposal is determined as the difference between the proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognised in surplus or deficit within other income or other expenses.

3.5 Property, plant and equipment Leasehold improvements, plant and other equipment Leasehold improvements, plant and other equipment (comprising office furniture and equipment) are initially recognised at acquisition cost or manufacturing cost, including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Association’ management.

Leasehold improvements, plant and other equipment are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis to write down the cost less estimated residual value of leasehold improvements, plant and other equipment. The following useful lives are applied: •

Leasehold improvement: 20% - 25%

•

Plant and equipment: 15% - 33%[5]

In the case of leasehold property, expected useful lives are determined by reference to comparable owned assets or over the term of the lease, if shorter.

Material residual value estimates and estimates of useful life are updated as required, but at least annually.

55

Gains or losses arising on the disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognised in surplus or deficit within other income or other expenses.

3.6 Leases Operating leases Where the Association is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

3.7 Income taxes No provision for income tax has been raised as the association is exempt from income tax under Div 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

3.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

3.9 Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are benefits, other than termination benefits, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. Examples of such benefits include wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

56

Other long-term employee benefits The association’s liabilities for long service leave are included in other long-term benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within twelve (12) months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. The expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the timing of the estimated future cash outflows. Any re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and changes in assumptions are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.

The association presents employee benefit obligations as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the association does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve (12) months after the reporting period, irrespective of when the actual settlement is expected to take place.

Post-employment benefits plans The association provides post-employment benefits through defined contribution plans.

Defined contribution plans The association pays fixed contributions into independent entities in relation to several state plans and insurance for individual employees. The association has no legal or constructive obligations to pay contributions in addition to its fixed contributions, which are recognised as an expense in the period that relevant employee services are received.

3.10 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.

57

Any reimbursement that the association can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.

No liability is recognised if an outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligation is not probable. Such situations are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the outflow of resources is remote in which case no liability is recognised.

3.11 Deferred income The liability for deferred income is the unutilised amounts of grants received on the condition that specified services are delivered or conditions are fulfilled. The services are usually provided or the conditions usually fulfilled within twelve (12) months of receipt of the grant. Where the amount received is in respect of services to be provided over a period that exceeds twelve (12) months after the reporting date or the conditions will only be satisfied more than twelve (12) months after the reporting date, the liability is discounted and presented as non-current.

3.12 Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office.

In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST components of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

3.13 Economic dependence The association is dependent upon the ongoing receipt of Federal and State Government grants and community and corporate donations to ensure the ongoing continuance of its programs and fundraising. At the date of this report Management has no reason to believe that this financial support will not continue.

58

3.14 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies When preparing the financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Estimation uncertainty Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different.

Impairment In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating unit based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.

Useful lives of depreciable assets Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technical obsolescence that may change the utility of certain assets.

Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date.

In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CRITICAL PATH INCORPORATED A.B.N. 12 049 903 261 (an incorporated association) Report on the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the financial report of Critical Path Incorporated (the association), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the committees’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of Critical Path Incorporated is in accordance with Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commission Act 2012 and the Corporations Act 2001, including: •

giving a true and fair view of the association’s financial position as at 31 December 2020, and of its performance for the year then ended ; and

•

complying with Australian Accounting Standards, Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not for Profits Commission Regulation 2013, and the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis of Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the association in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board APES 110: Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

74

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the committee of Critical Path Incorporated, would be in the same terms if given to the committee as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter – Covid-19 The Association has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic with both revenues and expenses falling although it still recorded a surplus for the year. The ability of the Association to return to normal operations will be dependent on the ability of Governments to control the pandemic so that restrictions can be permanently lifted.

Key Audit Matters Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon The committee members are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the association’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

75

The Responsibility of the Committee for the Financial Statements The committee members of the association are responsible for the preparation the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the ACNC Act, and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the committee members determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the committee members are responsible for assessing the association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the committee members either intend to liquidate the association or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternatives but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

We also: •

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

76

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the association’s internal control.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the committee.

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of the committee’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the registered entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.

Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the registered entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

We communicate with the responsible entities regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements requiring independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
