 The First Flight Crew had their fifth gig at ‘Comedy Is King’ at The Westin Hotel, Martin Place, Sydney in late September 09. This event was a major fundraiser night for Down Syndrome NSW and the Crew were invited to open the evening the only way they know how – with break dancing and beat boxing.  A workshop in the latest street dance moves culminating in a performance. The workshops are open to 15 to 18 year olds of mixed abilities. Great for young people living with a disability and their friends and siblings. The workshop will be conducted over 3 days, each session is 3 hours.  The First Flight Crew, NSW’s first hip hop group consisting entirely of people who identify as having a disability, will perform at Comedy is King, a fundraising event for children and adults with Down Syndrome. An unforgettable evening for a very special cause.  The Accessible Arts website is a good resource for people interested in Arts & Disability Policy and Research, two new reports are now available.  On 3 September Accessible Arts visited North West Disability Services at their weekly radio show Community Views on 2CCR 90.5FM. Jennifer Teo met with NWDS Program Coordinator, Inam al-Haqq to talk about the show and meet the team.  An intensive introduction to camera acting techniques that no budding film star can miss. At the end of the workshop you’ll walk away with a tape of your work and a better understanding of how to act for the camera.  The Museum of Fire in Penrith has one of the largest fire collections in the world including large fire-fighting vehicles dating from the late 18th century up to the 1980′s.  David Doyle, radio announcer on Music From Everywhere, BLU fm 89.1 Community Radio, will produce an audio version of the Accessible Arts Newsletter each month from his home studio in the Blue Mountains. |
