About Melinda Smith
Dr. Melinda Smith (OAM) is a multidisciplinary artist, mentor, lecturer with lived experience of cerebral palsy. Melinda holds an Order of Australia Medal from the Australian Government, and an honorary Doctorate from Deakin University for her outstanding contribution to the arts and her tireless work in breaking down barriers to inclusion for people with disability both in Australia and internationally. As a dancer, Melinda has collaborated with Dianne Reid, Yumi Umiumare, Penny Baron, Carolyn Hannah, Caroline Bowditch, Nick Papas and Sally Smith. In 2018, she created her first solo work, ‘Spasmotive,’ which challenged assumptions about different bodies, and the ways in which perceived ‘flaws’ can be embraced to enhance artistic expression. In 2020 Melinda became a Director of the Board of both Loom Arts and Management and the Women*s Circus. Melinda is currently part of the Women*s Circus ensemble ‘Momentum’ which has seen two performing seasons including the Alter State Festival at Melbourne’s Arts Centre in September 2022 and a season at the Bowery theatre in 2023. Melinda is proudly one of the AirSticks earliest adopters, helping co-design the instrument as part of the AirDancer project supported by AusCo and Monash University's SensiLab.
