Slowly but reassuredly we are winding down from the frenetic and full start to the New Year with a season at the Sydney Festival which saw 9500 people watch the show over the 4 weeks and many a glowing review.

On the inside, such a tour means the support and management of a mobile community who are away from home and country living in a way most of us are unaccustomed. The company which makes up the Ngapartji Ngapartji show literally come from all over the country. This work is demanding and this, our longest tour, was exhausting for many of us. As such it feels important to acknowledge the numerous Big hART members, volunteers and audiences who supported us through this season.

Pukulpala nyinanyi!

Hey! Well the Sydney tour has been absolutely huge so far! So many of us involved in so many things, and coming together every night to put together an incredible show which has been overwhelmingly well received by Sydney audiences. Aside from a six-night-a-week show schedule the cast and company have participated in and run cultural exchanges at The Block in Redfern, La Perouse Aboriginal Health Centre, the Spiegeltent and attended many glamorous festival events such as dinner at the Governer’s House.

Rather than going on about how wonderful it’s all been, we thought we would share with you some quotes from the cast, some of who are sadly leaving us on Monday to be relieved by the new cast members who arrived from Alice Springs on Friday. The young peoples’ stories have been compiled as part of an initial workshop with Inge Kral and Jane Leonard who have come on board to develop the new literacy (or ‘learning’) aspect of our work with young people. Exciting!

Ngapartji Ngapartji Sydney Festival Reviews
Friday, 18 January 2008

Sorry we haven't had a chance to write a longer news update yet, as you can imagine we're flat out here! In the mean time please check out some of these fantastic reviews we've been getting for our now sold-out wonderfully successful Sydney Festival season.

Thanks to everyone who has volunteered, driven us to an airport, taken someone shopping, been backstage with grapes and helped us with this tour. There are 35 of us working on the tour and many more people supporting us to be here. 

Wiru mulapa!

In the news this week

There's been a little discussion about shifting focus from creating discreet workshops in town to  finding points of community engagement in the myriad events and work that we have before us. This week we mapped out the next 18 months of the project and were excited and overwhelmed at how much we have on our communal plate, including the production of a documentary, upcoming filmmaking workshops in Ernabella in July and the SA/NT tour in September/October. We received funding through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) to develop a mobile gallery to house and share the images and text produced by project participants throughout the project and started the first of a series of workshops in the newly renovated community building in Abbott's camp. And long-term project participant and established watercolour artist Elton Wirri flew to Melbourne last week to co-present with Company Director Scott Rankin at the Deakin Lectures.
