This is Alexander Flood, one of Australia’s commanding beat-masters, possessing a unique and finessed arsenal of groove, power, and expertise on the drums. Through Helpmann Academy’s support in the early stages of his career, he was able to produce his earliest recordings and releases, building a strong portfolio as an artist.
It’s a reminder that the right support at the right time can shape not just a project, but an entire career pathway.
This is an impact worth discovering. @alexander_flood

Storytelling has always been central to Jack Langford’s creative practice, and through film, he’s found a powerful way to explore identity, history and connection. ✨
In the story written by Jane Llewellyn on our website, Jack reflects on how the inaugural First Nations Award helped bring his documentary Beyond Borders closer to life, supporting the post-production of a project centred around First Nations voices, Indigenous archaeology and truth-telling.
Applications for the 2026 Helpmann Academy First Nations Award are currently open, with $5,000 available to support eligible First Nations emerging creatives in developing new work, mentorships, research, professional development and more.
The First Nations Award is proudly supported by SA Power Networks.
