TNA is very pleased to announced that Carin Mistry (Executive Director of MADE, TAS) and Tim Stitz (Executive Producer & Co-CEO of Back To Back Theatre, VIC) have joined the TNA Board. At our AGM on May 5th, we also said farewell to Deputy Chair Robyn Gawenda, as she takes up a new job within the tertiary education sector.

Carin Mistry is the Executive Producer of Hobart based Mature Artists Dance Experience (MADE), and has an extensive background in the performing arts, film and television. After relocating from the UK she worked in a range of leadership, program and policy development roles for the Australia Council for the Arts from 1997 to 2015, including Director of Dance for seven years. Following this she was the Executive Director of Australian Plays – a national organisation providing essential services to playwrights and the Australian theatre industry.

Tim Stitz is the Executive Producer and Co-CEO of Back to Back Theatre in Geelong. Previously he was Creative Director and CEO of Chamber Made from 2013–2018 and led the fundraising for the rebuild of La Mama Theatre, following the devastating fire in 2018. He has also worked at Arts Centre Melbourne and Creative Partnerships Australia.
