Hello!
I’m Clare.

I have a decade of experience working in theatre and film in Australia and the United States.
I make new work from diverse voices, with a specific focus on developing comedy, drama and documentary from emerging makers.

I’ve worked in theatre, film and television development for Concord Originals. I’ve been a development manager for some of Australia’s funniest people, a talent scout for the biggest comedy festival in the world and I’ve collaborated with Netflix Australia and the ABC.

Projects in Development include:
Gloss Aphrodite a play about three women who submerge into a world of rotten beauty at a boutique bathhouse.

Broken Hill Family Band a European yacht pop rock band fronted by Brigitta and Boris Brokenhillen (Clare Rankine and Ned Dixon). They’ve gone triple platinum, toured the world but all they want is for their sister Brünhilde to come on home. Have you seen her?

HA! an episodic series about a young talent agent thrown into the quixotic world of the Australian comedy scene. Rival agents draw blood fighting for work and the comedians are barely holding on to reality.

The Best Play In The World a mockumentary film about a dysfunctional group of theatre makers, determined to make the best play in the world.
