Multi Arts Performance Project - Gr8 ParT! R U Coming?
Project Summary
Tweed Shire’s Multi Arts Performance Project was a ground breaking project created through a unique partnership between Tweed Shire Council, Tweed Valley Respite Service Inc. and NORPA Dance Action. The Project was conceived as a means to extend and expand the sensational outcomes generated through the Tweed Shire City of the Arts DisAbility Arts Program.
The project delivered a contemporary and educational theatre production that inspired community awareness of issues surrounding people with disabilities – particularly school-aged children.
Titled Gr8 ParT! R U Coming? and starring the Barefoot Bunch, the production took eight months to produce, and was co-directed by Emma Newman and Gabrielle Griffin from NORPA’S Dance Action. Emma and Gabrielle worked with a cast of 12 performers with a range of abilities and disabilities to choreograph and weave together this stunning production. Using puppetry, dance and video-projection the performance explored issues of technological communications and sense of belonging.
