Wesley Enoch

[7] As of 2021[update], Enoch is the domestic partner of past artistic director of Australian Ballet, David McAllister AC,[8][9] since around 2008, although they have lived in different cities for much of the time.

[1] From 1994 to 1997, Enoch was artistic director at Kooemba Jdarra Indigenous Performing Arts (1993–c.2008[10][11]) where he directed a number of his own works.

From 2003 to 2006, he was artistic director at Ilbijerri Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Theatre Co-operative,[12][13] remaining on the board until 2007.

[14] In June 2010, his appointment as the new artistic director of the Queensland Theatre Company was announced, taking over from Michael Gow.

[22][7] Enoch is best-known for The 7 Stages of Grieving, a one-actor play co-written with Deborah Mailman in 1995 and first performed at the Metro Arts Theatre in Brisbane[26] by Kooemba Jdarra Indigenous Performing Arts, with Mailman in the solo role and Enoch directing, on 1 September 1995.

[28] The title refers to seven phases of Aboriginal history, with the words referencing Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's model commonly known as the five stages of grief.

[31] The linking of Kübler-Ross's model and Williams' framework that started the examination of "the concept that Indigenous history has been a long and complicated grieving process since colonisation".
