A great strength of Tracks is the artistic talent and collective skills of the Co-Artistic Directors, Tim Newth and David McMicken, who have consistently produced excellent work for almost two decades. They approach the making of their work through a multi-arts lens, backing up their skills in dance, visual arts and design, drama, music, and literature. They use performance to inspire a wide range of Territorians of diverse cultural backgrounds: from youth through to the elderly, city to remote community.

"But what really turns heads is the intoxicating creativity used to stun the visual senses." Ashleigh Wilson, Mercedes Magazine, Autumn 2008
