Once A Shoreline (2004)
“Once a Shoreline is Community Arts with a capital A”.
“It felt like the whole world was in the room with us.”
Once A Shoreline was the culmination of three years residency at Davenport Perth Neighbourhood Centre. This music-driven theatre piece was inspired by oral histories from local seniors and many artistic workshops with community groups. The production involved professional artists and over a hundred community participants.
