KARUL PROJECTS
Presented by BLEACH*
Meander along the Burleigh Esplanade where six visionary artists orchestrate their own performance piece under the guidance of Karul Projects, champions of First Nations voices.
Each installation, positioned along the path snaking up to the north, serves as its own vibrant chapter, woven seamlessly into a singular storyline. Be guided by the pulse of performance, traversing the artistic landscape, which culminates at the festival hub – a nexus of creativity and culture.
Audio described performance: Sunday 11 August, 4pm
For further information about the audio described performance, please see the Accessibility section below.
Started by Thomas E.S. Kelly and Taree Sansbury in 2017, Karul Projects is a performing arts company with a focus to increase First Nations’ voices, visibilities and stories locally, nationally and internationally.
Karul is a Yugambeh Language word which means ‘Everything’. Named so because Karul will do everything it can to strengthen and empower the cultural knowledge of this land so future generations continue to be proud and learn from Australia’s rich First Nations’ heritage.
Additionally, ‘Karul’ represents our works. Alongside our grounding medium of dance we also use Karul/Everything that we feel best suits the story and information we are sharing incorporating theatre, film, projection, animation, singing and more.
The work contains both visual and audio/sound content. The sound will be experienced via headphones that will be provided to audience members.
AUDIO DESCRIBED PERFORMANCE | Sunday 11 August, 4pm
Description for this performance will be provided through headphones provided by BLEACH*. Patrons wishing to use the audio description will be provided further instruction on the day.
We encourage audience members wishing to use the audio description to note this when registering for the performance. Patrons bringing assistance animals, guide dogs or using canes are also encouraged to note this, so we can best prepare to provide for your needs while on-site.
This is a performance that requires walking to several locations along a flat pathway. Audience members may wish to bring a sighted guide or support person with them.
EXPERIENCE & TERRAIN
The work requires audience members to travel along the Burleigh Esplanade to visit several performance locations along (or near to) the concrete Oceanway path. One part of the performance will require audience members to travel down to the sand of North Burleigh Beach.
Audience will be guided through this experience in a group. The work is likely to be able to be fully experienced by those using a wheelchair (if the user is comfortable using beach wheelchair matting with their chair). Audience members who will be walking should expect to be on their feet for approx. 45 - 60mins.
