First Flight Crew breaking into the scene
First Flight Crew will make their first appearance for 2010 at Platform 3, Sydney’s largest hip hop festival on Saturday 20 March 2010.
Platform 3 is an annual showcase event that highlights some of Australia’s best DJs, MCs, beat boxers, breakers and graffiti artists, presented at CarriageWorks Contemporary Arts Centre, Eveleigh.
"Performing at Platform 3 will raise the profile of the First Flight Crew directly within the hip hop community. It is about reaching new audiences outside the disability sector to show the talent, spunk and attitude of the First Flighters,” says Alison Richardson, Creative Programs Coordinator at Accessible Arts.
FFC will also be performing at Accessible Arts’ National Arts Activated Conference on Friday 26 March 2010 at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.
The eight-piece hip hop crew from all over Sydney is managed by Accessible Arts’ Creative Programs Coordinator, Alison Richardson.
Formed in 2009 as a result of a series of workshops with Victorian based music organisation Club Wild, further development was undertaken with the Powerhouse Youth Theatre, all under the guidance of hip hop artist, Morganics. Representing people with disability, the crew perform original material at gigs, fundraisers and public events. They are currently developing their live routine with Morganics for their performance at Platform 3.
To raise their profile and to raise money to support the development of the crew, FFC have designed and printed a limited number of T-shirts that are available for purchase for $20.
