OUR HOME HOLIDAY TOWN

For our latest production Our Home Holiday Town, funded by Northern Rivers Community Foundation and Country Arts Support program, Regional Arts NSW, we have partnered with the Centre for Children and Young People, Southern Cross University. Currently in production, BYT cast members have benefitted from training as co-researchers with Dr. Antonia Canosa, Dr. Peter Cook and Dr. Catherine Simmons in exploring young people’s lived experience of growing up in a tourist destination. The findings from this research combined with facilitated experimental devising workshops has been incorporated into the script for our upcoming theatre performances of Our Home Holiday Town.

We are excited to be working again with Renee Galera-Hollis, an SAE Creative Media Institute Byron Bay Music production student in creating the sound track and Harry O’Meara our lighting designer and awesome technician.

Although the production has had to be postponed until DECEMBER ( see information below) , there are many wonderful people still busy working behind the scenes. Belle Budden, a Wakka Wakka woman living in Bundjalung country is creating a painting specifically for the production representing our beautiful Cavanbah ( the meeting place) otherwise known as Byron Bay, Australia. This is being timelapsed and will be used as a backdrop projection in parts of the performance. Nickolla Clark, another incredible local artist and proud Arakwal Bundjalung woman is developing a voice over recording to compliment the painting. The awesome Mike Russo has been creating the largest set BYT have had to date with Dee Spice assisting.

We also want to acknowledge the incredible support we have received from Christian Tancred and the staff of Byron Youth Service for allowing us to use the Youth Activity Centre (YAC) as our venue and Chris Chen & Brett Haylock from The Brunswick Picture House for the loan of some set pieces. The YAC will literally be transformed by the contribution of all these amazing people. Deep gratitude to all!!
