The Wheel of Fortunes Workshops held in July elicited this response from
Choreographer Aimee Smith:
“It was another whirlwind, action packed and inspiring visit to town in
July for the Wheel of Fortunes taster dance workshops and writing sessions.
Every time I come to this community I'm blown away by the generosity I'm shown
and the unbelievable Duracell battery energy that seems to run the creative
community in this town.
The writing that emerged during the community writing sessions really
moved me and brought some incredible stories of hardship, endurance, and joy to
the surface. These stories are really helping me understand this community more
and more and, with Nicola's experienced guidance, are really shaping the final
performance of Wheel of Fortunes.
I had a blast in the dance workshops and met some fantastic performers
who I very much hope might find the time to be part of the final performance at
the Jerdacuttup Wheat Bin (hint hint!). Speaking of the Bin, what an incredible
space! I cannot wait to bring in the performers, lighting and sound into that
epic space to transform this local icon into perhaps one of the most incredible
performance spaces WA has ever seen.”
Save the date: The performance
will be held at a community celebration on Saturday the 12th of
October at the Jerdacuttup Wheat Bin. Anyone interested in being involved in
the project in any capacity please contact Project coordinator Ainsley Foulds
0427 383 078.
