OUR WORK IN THE COMMUNITY
AKIN
Regional Songwriting Workshops
The AKIN Program creates opportunities for Arts participation in targeted rural communities, for girls aged 8-18. We want to create an opportunity for every girl who puts her hand up saying I want to learn to use my voice. AKIN is a songwriting program that sees The House creative team facilitate cross-age singing and songwriting workshops, creating more city-country connections.
100 STORIES. 100 CAPES.
100 Stories 100 Capes is a large-scale community project created across 3 years. In the lockdown, young women from The House interviewed 100 cape-makers: cross-age women from remote, regional, metropolitan and urban communities in every Australian state. The 100 interviews have been composed into an hour long choral work for a 100 woman choir to sing. The developing work will be designed for audiences to navigate an installation hearing their stories, housed within red capes and interspersed with music and stories.
