Driven to New Pastures

2010

Theatre; Live Interactive Performances

Artist/s: Rosie Dennis

Driven to New Pastures interweaves the stories, dreams, hopes and fears of six neighbours in a residential public housing apartment block in the fictional suburb of Granger. Its central theme is (sub)urban redevelopment and the fracture that can occur in a community when local residents are relocated and forced to start again. Initial research for Driven to New Pastures began in 2008 in the inner-city suburb of Waterloo. Further research was conducted during a 4-week residency at The Community Hub in Minto, 2009. The final work will be staged in an abandoned house in Minto marked for demolition.

Partners: FraserStudios, Chippendale. Sydney Festival, UTP.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

We pay our respects to the Dharawal People who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land, whose deepening connection to culture and customs have cared for this Country for over 60,000 years. We acknowledge Elders past, present and emerging for their immense spiritual connection to place which was never ceded.

Dharawal Land has always been recognised as a meeting place for people from other Lands, and in this Spirit we respectfully continue this Tradition through the bringing together of our communities through arts and culture. Always was and Always will be Aboriginal Land.
