Our Story
Our StoryNext Play was born from a passion for creating meaningful connections through Aboriginal culture, art and storytelling. Founded by Noongar-Yamatji man Jermaine Miller-Lewis, Next Play brings together lived experience, creativity and culture to inspire confidence, strengthen identity and encourage a sense of belonging.Growing up, Jermaine experienced firsthand the power of culture, community and positive role models.
His journey has taken him from performing traditional Aboriginal dance and playing professional AFL football to becoming a contemporary Aboriginal artist and cultural educator. Along the way, he discovered that art and storytelling are powerful ways to bring people together, start important conversations and create lasting impact.
Today, Next Play delivers culturally grounded experiences for schools, community organisations, sporting clubs and workplaces across Western Australia. Through interactive workshops, collaborative artwork and authentic storytelling, participants are encouraged to learn, reflect, create and connect in a safe, inclusive and engaging environment.At its heart, Next Play is about creating opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to build confidence, celebrate culture and take their next step with purpose.
