Your Turn Collective | Our People

OUR TEAM

A woman of Jamaican heritage, sitting in front of a moody, grey background. She wears a soft pink satin gown with a V neck and gathered shoulders, and her hair is in braids, curled into a chignon around her head. She wears drop pearl earrings, and her right shoulder is tilted down towards the camera. Her face tilts slightly to the left, but her gaze is towards the camera. Her expression is sultry, luxurious and empowered.

Elaine Mitchener performing in Industrialising Intimacy. She is poised mid-movement, with her face raised toward a light source outside of the top left corner of the frame. She has dark brown skin, braided black hair, and is wearing a black, lace, short-sleeved top. Her energy is breathless, active and emotionally charged.

Elaine Mitchener

Experimental vocalist, movement artist and composer.

A black and white photo of a smiling woman. She has brown skin and wears a white shirt, and faces the camera directly with a bright light in the top left of the frame casting light across her face from the side. She looks confident, relaxed and friendly. There are blurred scenes of a social setting behind her.

Elise Brown

Arts consultant and project manager

A white woman with blonde hair, gathered in a soft bun and aside-parting, wearing a cream-coloured cardigan. She is seated in the right hand side of the frame, with a forest green background. Her shoulders are angled toward the centre of the image, and she looks upward at the camera with a half-smile. The image is soft and romantic.
