Hidden Places, Hidden Lives: community forum
The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, in collaboration with Seniors Information Service, presents a forum on the use of creative arts as a community development and engagement tool in socially disadvantaged communities.
This forum will explore how to bring Creative Arts projects to life in a community setting from conception to performance and the impact projects such as these have on the health and well-being of those involved.
Using theatre and photography as exemplars, P J Rose, Artistic Director of No Strings Attached Theatre Company and Leanne McPhee, community photographer of the Hidden Places, Hidden Lives exhibition will discuss the joys and lessons of working in and with communities and individuals who have specific needs.
