The day began with a welcome to country and the opening of the Visual Abilities exhibition, a collection of works created during the weekly art classes run by Fairfield Museum & Gallery for people with a disability. The art classes are free and led by professional local artist Brenda Eggleton. The exhibition runs from 1 Dec 09 to 6 Jan 2010.
Claudia Chidiac, Artistic Director of Powerhouse Youth Theatre, officially launched the interACT Resource Kit, a new online resource for working in integrated performance settings.
This incredible new resource includes workshop plans and case studies from organisations and disability services across regional and metropolitan New South Wales with experience of working in an integrated performance setting.
Amazing dancing duo at Morganics Hip Hop workshop
The kit was created to raise awareness of the work going on in the field of integrated performance and to help those who may want to work in the field with tools and techniques to get started. The resource kit was produced by Powerhouse Youth Theatre in partnership with Accessible Arts.
Entertainment included the First Flight Crew who performed their latest hip hop tracks with Morganics, as well as a performance by local singer/songwriter Ana Nguyen who performed her song Economy Sick.
Morganics really got the place rocking, asking members from the audience to join him on stage for some beat boxing. Everyone had a turn to add their sound, which he looped and layered together to make a hip hop track. By the end of the show everyone in the audience was dancing and there was a great party vibe in the air.
Lunch in the museum court yard was a real treat. After lunch there were workshops in Hip Hop and Chalk Art for everyone to enjoy. Congratulations to Fairfield City Council for such a fantastic day.
In 2008 Janet began to write her first performance based on her own real life experiences as a young woman who lives with a disability. She is now at the second stage of creating her performance.
This is a story of a young woman who defies expectations to pursue her own dreams. Janet is a young woman with dreams. She loves to dance tango. She loves high heels. She loves to travel. But something happens to her, and in one defining moment, the world as she knows it changes forever. Janet finds herself lying in a hospital bed unable to walk, unable to talk … only able to mutter the words “I love You”.
You are invited to attend a 25-minute performance of I Love You, by Janet Diane. Light refreshments will be available after the performance and there will be a free Tango lesson by professional dancer Yamila Falcon
