Megan O’Hare is a Sunshine Coast-based performer, educator, and producer working primarily with D.I.V.E. Theatre Collective, and building a personal practice in Butoh. Her practice is rooted in the belief that theatre is a tool for social action. With D.I.V.E., she collaboratively creates work that unsettles, provokes, and resists easy resolution, unlocking the transformative potential of performance for both artist and audience.

The Project. Megan is raising funds to support her ongoing professional development as a performer including training, residencies, mentorships, and practice development in Australia and internationally, as she deepens her Butoh practice and builds toward independent work.

Why Donate? Regional Australia has few places to train deeply in physical and political theatre. Megan’s foundations, Butoh, Bio-mechanics, Theatre of the Oppressed, and Viewpoints, need immersion and extended study to develop, necessitating travel domestically and internationally.

Donations received through the Sunshine Coast Arts Foundation helped Megan to complete a month of intensive Butoh training in Türkiye in September 2026. She is grateful for that support; a month of sustained training gave her a depth of knowledge that could not be accessed locally. Donations now keep that momentum going.

Megan is currently the only D.I.V.E. member with dedicated Butoh training. Everything she learns feeds directly back to herself, the company, and public workshops. These workshops serve the wider Sunshine Coast arts community.

Alongside her work with D.I.V.E., she is beginning to build her own independent practice. Supporting her development now means helping bold new work come to life.

How will your donation be used? Your donation directly supports the professional development of an emerging regional artist. Donations go directly toward professional development costs (training fees, residency fees, travel, and related expenses) as opportunities arise.
