Lisa Sampson
CEO of Free Radical Enterprises

Her Hats Include:

Lisa has been performing since the age of 2. An accomplished jazz vocalist based in Sydney and performing throughout the Asia-Pacific region with ‘Enchanted’, she also teaches Ballroom and Latin dancing at the Firefly Dance Studio. Lisa has been a featured dancer in music clips for UK band Terrorvision and Australian bands such as Grinspoon & Silverchair.

At 14, she wrote her first play, at 15 won a vocal scholarship with the Victorian State Opera and at 16 won a Young Writer of the Year Award from the Sydney Morning Herald. After a rewarding career as a social systems architect and government funding specialist, she produced the documentary photography essay ‘Intimate Encounters’ by Belinda Mason-Lovering in 2000 – 2001. ‘Intimate Encounters’ explores the relationships of people with disabilities to their bodies, sexual desires and with significant others in their lives – re-imaging these taboo issues. The exhibition has traveled the world and is now touring regional Australia on an Australia Council grant.

Lisa has co-created the world-first children’s educational entertainment production ‘CultureSplash™’ and its adult corollary ‘CultureConnoisseur™”. She has written and produced the cabaret magic stage and floor show ‘Dancing at Christmas’ in a dynamic partnership with Michael Greensmith (magic) and Rebecca Kypri (music). Lisa also designs most of the costumes used in Free Radical Enterprises’ productions.

Looking to the future, apart from promoting current productions, Lisa is looking forward to releasing an album of original jazz numbers with her duo ‘Enchanted’. Additionally, she has a longitudinal documentary film trilogy, 3 further stage shows and 2 screenplays in production.

Lisa also continues to drive innovation in non-profit human services. She has done this by building the ‘Joy Investment Program’ for companies wishing to INVEST in charity. She has also devised a new accreditation system for non-profit organisations called the ‘Good Governance Check’. Check these and all Free Radical Enterprises’ productions out on the website!
