WHAT’S BEEN?
BEAGLE BAY
Director Georgia Deguara spent 3 weeks in remote community Beagle Bay, on behalf of Theatre Kimberley’s Dragonfly Outreach Program.
The kids from Sacred Heart School got to work hard on their circus skills, to then put a show on in their community!
A handful of students then travelled to Broome to star in the HUGE Sandfly production!
10 NIGHTS IN PORT
Off Chops performed a 1-off show for Fremantle Festival’s 10 Nights in Port, and completely SOLD OUT!
Even funkier- the festival is all about taking over alternative spaces, so the team got to rock out a decked out Naval Store; a huge warehouse on the water.
Well done team!
SOUTHERN EDGE WORKSHOP
Ella went down to Albany to work 1-1 with Southern Edge Artists.
Funded by Southern Forest Arts Mycelium, the project brought regional creative practitioners together to explore their own creativity in a safe and supported space.
It’s an ideal opportunity to explore new ways of working, to seed ideas for future collaborative projects!
