DANCE innovators Chunky Move hosted two performance of It Sounds Silly at Frankston Arts Centre last Friday evening. The production, part of the Anywhere Theatre Festival, offered dancers aged 16 to 24 the chance to perform live in a collage of dance, sound and video. It Sounds Silly is a successful contemporary dance work, based on an exploration of a child’s perspective on self and the wider world. Pictured are some of the dancers who participated.

MPs back council campaign FRANKSTON Council’s campaign to push for more funding for the city from the incoming state government – no matter who wins November’s election – kicked off last week to “a good response”, according to the mayor, Cr Darrel Taylor.
Councillors began the Speak Up For Frankston campaign on the steps of state parliament last Monday morning, addressing a Melbourne media pack to highlight Frankston’s case for $67 million in state funding for five vital infrastructure projects. Cr Taylor said council would be sending “a very strong message” to both major political parties in the
lead-up to the election that Frankston deserved more support from Spring Street. “Councillors will be out and about encouraging everyone to get involved in this election to put pressure on local candidates and parties,” he said. “This is a critical time for Frankston… if we don’t get what we need now, we may never get it.”

The Speak Up For Frankston campaign is non-partisan, but Cr Taylor urged voters to think carefully about who they voted for in November. “Secure their (the candidates’) commitment before you give your commitment,” he said. Councillors want election candidates to commit to giving $12m towards a new waste transfer station, $9m for
a “health and human services hub”, $3m to develop business cases to redevelop the transport interchange and electrification of the Stony Point railway line to Baxter, $4.5m for “foreshore completion” and $38.5m for sport and recreation including an upgrade of regional basketball facilities.
