Shortwave is a digital commissioning program from Sydney Opera House, in collaboration with organisations across the sector. The Bop is supported by Sydney Opera House & Parramatta Artists’ Studios. Dream Job is a co-commission between Sydney Opera House and Liquid Architecture's online journal Disclaimer. Animate Loading: 3 and non-paradise were facilitated through Critical Path’s digital and choreographic exchange program.
