Why Should I Care?

Jon Hawkes is the Resident Cultural Analyst for the Cultural Development Network (Victoria) and Director of Community Music Victoria. His varied experiences with the arts include working with Circus Oz (as juggler, strongman, accountant, and spokesperson), where he learned that the people on the bottom of the human pyramids are called “understanders.” He has pursued a career of being an “understander,” continually crossing between, and integrating, thinking and doing, practice and theory.
