“I’m so honoured and grateful for this recognition. Thank you. Of course, none of this happens without huge amounts of work and support from so many people on and behind the scenes. People who trust my ideas and give them a life and a story. Thanks to Minouche Briot, whose incredible score drove not just this work, but continues to drive my creative universe. And beyond, there are so many people who have supported and continuously support, challenge and shape my work along the way. Thank you.” – Phoebe Jewitt
