Darwin

We developed an exciting partnership with Darwin Community Arts in The Northern Territories in Australia in 2010.

We hoped to share experiences and learn from each other. We hope that this is the beginning of a long-term relationship with an organisation that shares a similar ethos to the way that we work, and facilitates creative projects with indigenous people, women's groups, young people, integrated groups, sole parents, and multi-cultural projects on the other side of the world.

This International Arts project kicked off in the summer of 2010; Alyson Evans, our Drama Development Worker, travelled to Darwin to spend 5 weeks working with the organisation using drama and forum theatre. Find out how things went:
