As a designer, Lukin likes to lean into the absurd, and use her background as a visual artist to step beyond realism and into whimsy. As a queer woman, Ada Lukin has a desire to share more queer stories on Brisbane stages, not only in her writing, but in her unique portrayal of well-loved characters. Once such character was 'Bowie' in the short film 'Adult Store', directed by Tahlia Miller. In future, she hopes to continue her work as a multifaceted creative and crazy cat lady, not only in the fabulous Brisbane theatre scene, but in stages across the world.
