"Tales From Dragonhurst"
Project Summary
The TALES FROM DRAGONHURST radio project was initiated by Hurstville City Council & local community radio station 2NBCfm to follow on from their successful collaboration on the WAY BACK WHEN oral history radio project launched in Seniors Week 2007. Tales From Dragonhurst, a much more ambitious project, involving a cast & crew of 30 people and an 8-month process of writing, rehearsals, recording 8 episodes to a live audience and post-production. We believe we achieved what we set out to do which was to develop writing and performance skills of local seniors while exploring the history and celebrating the diversity of the local St George region of Sydney and who lives here. Available to over 400 community radio stations across Australia, it was greatly assisted by ABC Radio National who also made a documentary feature of the process.
