Girls with a Curfew
Founded by rising arts professionals Maybelline San Juan and Tamara Montina, Girls with a Curfew is a boutique production agency that works with artists and organisations to create, consult and produce.
We're creatives with a talent for storytelling and a passion for all things arts, culture and community, bringing bold ideas through inclusive practices, lived experience and a fresh perspective to everything we do. We specialise in diversity and inclusion in the arts and in engaging young people in creative spaces.
From moderating panels at Adelaide Writer’s Week to producing international tours to creating social media campaigns, we can squeeze in a lot before curfew.
Past clients include Festival City Adelaide, where we developed a Summer Festivals focused social media series, and Griffin Theatre Company, with whom we've created and executed a Community Engagement strategy for their show SAVIOR.
Lifelong best friends (since 5 years old) now creative slashies and business partners, these girls have moderated panels at Adelaide Writer’s Week, produced international tours and created social media campaigns; squeezing in a lot before curfew.
