Hi there, I’m Melynda von Wayward aka 'The Wayward Woman' and I am creative, passionate, motivated and eclectic.

My professional qualifications include a Bachelor of Dramatic Arts majoring in Technical Production (Victorian College of the Arts) and a Graduate Diploma in Arts Management (University of Melbourne).

I have spent 30 years working in the professional arts industry in the capacity of Stage Manager, Production Manager and Lighting Designer with many performing arts organisations, including world class Australian companies.

As an Arts Manager I have been successful in writing and receiving many arts grants, including grants for my own projects as well as grants for other arts organisations and individuals.
