MJ Wilson is a Melbourne-based independent producer, performance artist, and community builder — a practitioner whose work encompasses stage, screen, and the complex human systems that make up communities.

He is a performance artist, an independent producer, and a specialist in complex human navigation. He has spent the better part of three decades on Australian stages and a decade inside community case management — and he brings the same quality of attention to both. The ability to read a room. To find the human underneath the system. To know when to speak and when to simply be present.

Wilson is a queer man and a cancer survivor, and he moves through the world with the particular clarity that comes from having had to fight for your place in it.
