Day 2 of Festival of Delusion workshop with composer/musician Dave Eddy in the Guyra Central School Hall. Dave has composed a new suite of pieces for our second show, slated for November. We’ve spent these few days exploring a range of technologies for music production, projection, live camera feeds and visual effects. Exciting stuff and its looking great.
Rob Waters talking poetry and story
Arts Organisation Byeond Empathy and the University of New England host a regular Arts & Community Forum in Armidale, northern NSW, and SVM has been invited to speak alongside two peer/collaborators, oral historian and documentary maker, Dr Lorina Barker and poet and cultural activist Rob Waters. A huge privilege to be representing with two dynamic artist/storytellers.
The East Armidale community garden project featured this week in the Koori Mail!
A longer cut of MGC goes to air on NITV September 15th. Such an honour to see Lorina’s short film get a place in their Our Stories, Our Way short documentary showcase. The whole team are thrilled that a year and a half long project is capped off with this.
Work underway for the mixed and multi media project in collaboration with Child Sexual Abuse Survivor “Echo”. We spent 4 days working through his artworks- some 4000 digitally created and manipulated self portraits,experimenting with different formats of presentation. A great few days of hands-on brainstorming. We came away with a basic design for the event: part exhibition, part installation and part performance. Intense and hard work but hugely productive and inspiring.
