This book would not have been possible without the support of numerous colleagues over the years, too many to name. We are indebted to Western Edge Youth Arts for providing a home for the theatre work. The project was funded through the Community Resilience Initiative of the Department of Premier and Cabinet of the Australian state of Victoria. Kitty te Riele, series co-editor, believed in the book, and we are grateful for her confidence in our work. Boston University research assistant, Emma Chrisman was brilliant in her facilitation of the final product and worked closely with us to get the book to the finishing line. Authors frequently single out individual people to whom to dedicate a book. Although we are deeply indebted to our nearest and dearest, this book would not exist without the hundreds of cultural informants and collaborators from far and wide, stretching through geographies and centuries. We dedicate this book to them.
