WOW!…what an epic night we all had last night.
There was so much anxiousness from all the performers last night but within all of that there was a strong sense of community support, encouragement, love of language, performance and story telling…all the elements that make for a memory laden event!
After two years of song writing workshops with elders, language speakers, established and emerging performers it all came to a head in what was sure to be just one of many concerts celebrating local performers.
……watch…this….space…
This initiative would not have been possible without the support of many:
Grants and Funding:
Sponsors, community supporters and partners:
Workshop facilitators and performers :
The amazing Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse. Thank you both for your ongoing support and sharing of the dream! You both have such a way of bringing out the best in people who have moments of self doubt. Your gentle ways but strong love of song, language and story telling has left its mark on us…we thank you both so deeply.
To our song writers and performers… Charmaine Green, Leanne Taylor, Godfrey Simpson, Craig Pickett, Gemma Merritt, Chrysilla Pickett, Timika King, Peter Gray, Caris Collard…YOU DID IT! You were all so nervous but you all managed to dig deep and pull on the strength of each other to get through it all…and just like that you are wanting more!
…Lets keep at it and plan for another deadly night like last night!!….
