 As part of the Plugged In program, a bunch of very eager arts workers from all over Sydney gathered at the Q Theatre in Penrith to exchange ideas, thoughts, games and exercises for working with people with a disability in the performing arts sector.  Hawkesbury Regional Gallery in partnership with Accessible Arts present Performance in the Gallery, a series of 10 exciting workshops in movement and performance for people with mild to moderate intellectual and physical disabilities.  In the mixed bag that was Term One of the Performance Workshops at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, participants developed skills in breathing, sound making, decision making and range of movement. The major focus this term was devising movement and performing.  First Flight Crew (FFC) will make their first appearance for 2010 at Platform 3, Sydney’s largest hip hop festival. Platform 3 is an annual showcase event that highlights some of Australia’s best DJs, MCs, beat boxers, breakers and graffiti artists all taking place at CarriageWorks contemporary arts centre, Eveleigh. AFFORD and Junction Works joined together for 9 weeks of Performance in the Gallery. The group all met once a week at the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery to perform improvisations, theatre exercises and games.  The Q Theatre are wanting to put on a production in 2011 about the stories, hopes & dreams of people perceived to have a disability living in the Penrith/ Nepean region.  Members of Nepean Area Disability Organisation and AFFORD Windsor joined forces at the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery for an Introduction to Performance workshop facilitated by Katy Green. |
