Introducing Belloo's 2026 mentee: D'mitri Cossar!

D'mitri is a transgender artist based in Meanjin (Brisbane), with a background in animation, digital art, comics and writing. Since graduating from Queensland University of Technology in 2019, he has contributed digital content and marketing materials to several theatre productions.

Through Belloo's Mentorship Program, D'mitri will join the design team for our new children's and family production, The Crab, the Lizard & the Upside-Down Girl, working alongside multi-award-winning production designer Josh McIntosh and Belloo's Co-Artistic Director Caroline Dunphy.

The mentorship will give D'mitri the opportunity to collaborate with experienced practitioners, develop his skills and contribute to the creation of a new Australian work for young audiences.

We're delighted to welcome D'mitri to the team!
