Contemporary Arts and Performance for under 25s
Chair Report This was a momentous year for Shopfront that heralded a good deal of change and the beginning of a new era in our company. We are thrilled to welcome aboard our new Co-Artistic Directors & CEOs, Caitlin Newton-Broad and Howard Matthew. Howard and Caitlin bring with them a wealth of experience and inspiration from working in communities internationally. Their philosophies of respectful engagement with young people, having those participants as the primary agents in their own work, and supportive, nurturing exploration reflect perfectly the values of Shopfront. It is my heartfelt belief that Shopfront is in exceptional hands. Paul Heath and Peter Hermon left the board after serving more than 7 and 5 years respectively. Paul was Chair of our Board between 2005 and 2009 and has done a tremendous job during his time with the company of ensuring good governance practices. David Kirkpatrick, a long-time ‘Shopfronter’ and a Board Director since 2009 also stood down this year. David is an exciting young artist whose career is now gaining momentum. While we will miss his contribution at Board level, we look forward to seeing his career blossom. Nerida Woods, our General Manager, resigned late this year after more than 7 years of unsurpassed commitment and effort to Shopfront’s cause. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have benefited from Nerida’s skills and experience for so long. We wish her all the very best as she takes on new challenges and direction.
Change in any organisation takes considerable extra time and energy to manage effectively. I’d like to thank the Directors for their diligence and enthusiasm during the year and to thank especially the full-time staff, Sarah Emery and Saskia Vromans. Their attitude and stamina have played a crucial role in making the transitions happen in the office, day-to-day. Key Supporters have been: The Australia Council for the Arts – Community Partnerships Committee, Digital Culture Fund, and Theatre Board, ArtsNSW, NSW Government Family and Community Services, local Councils – Rockdale, Kogarah, Hurstville and Sutherland, The Department of Education and Communities, The Matana Foundation, Besen Family Foundation, ArtStart, Tafe NSW, University Of New South Wales. 2012 looks to be an exciting new year; full of renewal, new faces, and the energy and perspectives that they bring. I look forward to working with them. Most of all, I look forward to seeing our young people play, explore, and discover through the development and performance of art – in whatever form they choose.

Artistic Director / CEO Report When we arrived in Sydney to join Shopfront , Caitlin first landed in April, just in time for the exquisite RAW W 2011 season and Howard in July, just in time for the apex of the night-market Machine Atlas. We were brought into the heart of a truly multi-layered community company and a cultural space for the freedom of the imagination. “Once you enter through this corridor, you enter a new zone, a private playground.” So we came in, we felt our way, running on instinct and experience to contribute to what young people can create at Shopfront. Sharp Memories Out West, early morning art session, a marble runs smooth down a Rube Goldberg machine. One BIG smile and a call of victory. On stage, a glittering handmade island with a LIVE volcano smokes. A tiny Roadrunner sings an aria with his girl companion at the open theatre doors.
the next generation of artists and technicians to emerge from Shopfront, Kevin Ng, David Kirkpatrick, Sarah Aghazarmian, Ashton Whitwell and Tom Christophersen among others who make such an impact on the company and define its future. It is fair to say that in 2011 Shopfront’s core team, Nerida Woods, Sarah Emery, and Saskia Vromans weathered the change and grounded us both in the history, ethos and continuity of Shopfront. We would like to extend a huge thank you for this induction and their guidance. We would also like to extend this thanks to the Board for seeing the company through a year of seismic change with ongoing attention and care. To all the young people making art at Shopfront and out there in the community working with Shopfront’s Outreach program, we say, “What Next?” We look forward to seeing your world in kaleidoscopic COLOUR. Howard Matthew & Caitlin Newton-Broad

Residential Workshop Program
Michael Pigott | 2011
2011’s rich tapestry of work in Shopfront’s Residential Workshop Program explored puppetry, video, text, movement, visual art, stop motion animation, sound and performance. After school and on the weekend, Shopfront was alive with children and young people discovering, inventing and exploring new ways of telling their own stories. In response to the feedback given by Shopfront’s community of young people at our AGM, Summit and Online Survey, the workshop program offered a range of new experiences across the 4 terms including: weekend public performances curated by Michael Pigott (Terms 1 &2), in-class workshop showings (Term 3) and Shopfront’s End of Term Christmas Party Fiesta. We would like to thank all the participants and parent volunteers
and a special mention to our workshop assistants: Lucy Watson, Karyn Rooke, and especially Valerie Hull who after many years supporting the work of young people is stepping back to focus on her practice as a music teacher. The workshop program is facilitated by an experienced team of professional artists which reflect the diversity of artforms we offer young people. The 2011 Workshop Artists were: Caitlin Newton-Broad, Howard Matthew, Michael Pigott, Sarah Emery, Tim Bishop, Margot Politis, Luke Kerridge, Eddi Goodfellow, Brendon McDonall, Jane Grimley, Darren Gilshenan, Donna Abela, Michael Wickens, Kay Yasugi and Alice Osborne. www.workshops.shopfront.org.au p p g
Bodylines Ensemble
Howard Matthew | 2011 2011 saw Bodylines flexing their artistic muscles in performance, movement, storytelling and visual art. Activities across the year included: working with UK guest artist Robin Whitmore to create large-scale paintings as part of Shopfront’s Machine Atlas; contributing to Crack Festival (Newcastle) through running a Masterclass and sitting on an accessibility panel with highly-regarded company Restless Dance and producing four new performance works as part of
Shopfront’s End of Term Performances and in-class workshop showings. Across the year the group demonstrated a surge of skills in devising stories, performing on stage and working together. A highlight in the program was seeing group members Brianna, Jonathon and Angellica take initiative to develop their very own creative works for Shopfront’s Christmas Party. Brianna’s dance to Cotton Eyed Joe is remembered fondly.
Special Projects: Master Classes & Residencies YAK Summer Residency 2011 Two different works over two weeks of Summer! Curated by Yak Events - David Kirkpatrick, Arnab Ahmed and Tara Fedoriw-Morris Anyone can edit…Phaedra by new Wollongong Grad collective- Building 25. Building 25 explored the Wikipedia model as applied to a theatrical space, incorporating elements of the Phaedra myth as new data. Billy and Girl, adaptation by newly formed theatre company bodysnatchers. Bodysnatchers devised a theatrical reworking of Deborah Levy’s novel “Billy and Girl” which explores the darkly comic relationship between a 15 year old boy and his 17 year old sister. www.yak.shopfront.org.au y p g
Geek in Residence The final four months of Shopfront’s Geek In Residence program saw the launch of the company’s interactive website, which was a handmade creation by Shopfront’s Geek, Dermot McGuire. McGuire collaborated with staff and Shopfront members to spend time exploring what format would be best for blogging, chatting and reflecting various creative processes and visual product. Inspired by
previous company innovations online, McGuire has resolved an elegant looking site which is porous and sustainable within limited resources.
Master Classes The Kitchen Table (18-25s) with Rowan Marchingo In this 6 week Master Class, participants wove together dialogue and naturalistic actions with passages of choreography that explored family relationships using principles of physical theatre, contact improvisation, acrobatics and contemporary dance. Arguments, silent meals, songs, time lapse sequences of generations coming and going, ,sequences where the table is used by many people simultaneously but where each is oblivious to the others. Love, Combat & Other Chaos (16-25s) with Scott Witt A 4 week journey of mischief and mayhem with Scott Witt exploring physical comedy, clowning and combat. Participants devised an original performance incorporating skills of physical theatre, slapstick and stage combat. This Masterclass was a free opportunity for participants. Funded by the ArtStart NSW Youth Arts & Skills Program.
Hey This Is A Map Of Me!
Brendan Blacklock | 2011 As a continuation of our work in regional New South Wales, Shopfront undertook a two week residential program in Bourke and Broken Hill. In October 2011 a team of artists worked with over 50 young people to create artwork using music, movement, video, visual arts and performance. The emphasis of the program was offering young people of Bourke and Broken Hill the opportunity to explore a range of materials, techniques and approaches to creating their own artwork. The team of artists spent a week working with the respective communities offering young people daily workshops. At the end of each week the participants worked towards an informal sharing of their work for friends, family and community members. A highlight in Bourke was developing creative spoken text around the town’s local features in response to a three dimensional interactive map created across the week. In Broken Hill the participants energetically responded
to the physicality of games and play; these moments were captured in timelapse, video and shadow photographs. As part of Map Of Me, Shopfront was able to offer two emerging Community Arts Cultural Development practitioners, Tom Christophersen and Sarah Aghazarmian, mentorship and experience working in a community context. The two developed beautiful work across the two weeks using creative text, digital-media and visual arts to engage and build a rapport with young people in the community. This project was funded by ArtStart NSW (Youth Arts and Skill Development) far west region in partnership with West Darling Arts, Outback Arts, Bourke PCYC and Broken Hill YMCA with support from Beyond Empathy and Desert Pea Media. Participating Artists: Sarah Aghazarmian, Tim Bishop, Brendan Blacklock, Tom Christophersen, Sarah Emery, Toby Finlayson and Howard Matthew.
ArtsLab11 Residency “With spirits high and a determination to make this dream into a reality, I know this never would have been possible or even ignited without ArtsLab.” (Rachel Weiner, 2011 ArtsLab resident)
The 6 new works created by ArtsLab11 and performed in their season Slow Reveal were:
Shopfront’s ArtsLab is a six month intensive program for emerging artists to engage with a dynamic community arts cooperative, develop their artistic practice and create their own work.
This Space has been Left Intentionally Blank by Grant Moxom
In 2011 ArtsLab residents Erica J Brennan, Grant Moxom, Bernice Ong, Rachel Roberts, Lucy Watson and Rachel Weiner pushed their imaginations into overdrive; developed their own season of work, created interactive performances as part of Machine Atlas and contributed to the life and energy of the Shopfront community. Travelling from April to November through the 3 phases of the program, this group of artists committed upwards of 20 hours per week to be onsite, in research, development and rehearsal. The final season Slow Reveal showed a sophisticated use of text, image making, puppetry, movement, installation, multi-media and live performance.

Machine Atlas
Yann Audic | 2011 If you could invent a machine that would help you in a time of urgent need in your life, what would that look like? This question underpinned the creative enquiry that resulted in a massive outdoor night market, Machine Atlas, in which young people used design, performance and visual arts processes to present urgent, personal and slapstick hypotheses. Machine Atlas involved 120 young people between 12-24 years in the process and creation of a vibrant multi-arts outdoor performance in Kogarah Town Square, for an audience of 820 people over four nights. The process took place over 16 weeks, involving 13 community and education partners in Outreach, connecting with diverse young people, underscored by our residential program through a core ensemble of young people aged 14-24years who were joined by ArtsLab artists in residence in the final half. The project involved 18 Australian and international artists,
technicians and arts workers, coplanning and delivering workshops, skills development, mentoring and codevising across St George, Sutherland Shire, Campbelltown and Fairfield. Notably, London based designer and visual artist, Robin Whitmore lead the realization of the final 3D environment, working across the Outreach and residential process. The hyper-night market of machine experiences was the public apex with vibrant audience interaction and a wonderful season transforming the street life of Kogarah. Machine Atlas sought a process to include and involve diverse young people in a common creative quest, and the wild and witty visual language was an invention to keep.

Junior Ensemble The Junior Ensemble Project is an opportunity for young people aged 8 – 15 to create an original performance with a team of professional artists over four months. In 2011 twenty-five young people came together to create Island: a multi-media performance that explored the participant’s ideas of what it means to be an individual and how we connect with others. This was imagined as an island, a place of comfort and reflection but also a place of isolation and loneliness. The group investigated what surrounds this safe space, that ‘great unknown ocean’. How do you reach out to others and build relationships? How do you find your way? The group created a model island; it featured a diamond cave as a secret and safe place and a volcano which erupted with anger. They also built a large scale double headed puppet which required ten people to operate. Collaboration, negotiation and group work was key to this project, giving young people an opportunity to develop more ambitious work but also to find avenues for individual expression. For many young people this project was their first experience of devising a larger-scale live performance at Shopfront and a pathway to further endeavours within the company. Participants: Alexia Karatasas, Anouk Etienne, Chrystal Christie, Taya Marriott, Steven Christie, Alex Antonopoulos, Tommy Gavrielatos, Kayla Irsaj, Gabi Platt, Sophie Ward, Jayden Darcy, Angus Reekie, Angel Spasevski Luke Nocke, Peter Chidiac, Giaan

Tom Christophersen | 2011
Fairfield IEC – Artist in Residence Program “I feel strong when I sing about my country. I feel strong when my boyfriend calls me beautiful” (Marian, 17) This year Shopfront and Fairfield Intensive English Centre were excited to receive a NAB Schools First Seed Award for a 12 month artistic engagement. Shopfront ran workshops with students in music, digital media, performance, dance and visual art. Young people shared stories about what makes them feel strong, reinterpreted Romeo and Juliet, created a number of animations, performed twice at PYT, developed original scripts, journeyed into the city, sang about home, wrote spoken-word poems and explored what makes someone a champion.

White Ribbon She wore a White Ribbon in her hair He had a White Ribbon pinned to his chest The present was tied together with a White Ribbon 2012 marked the second collaboration between Shopfront and the St. George Domestic Violence Committee on the White Ribbon project. George’s River College (Hurstville Boys), Kogarah
Kogarah IEC | 2011 Intensive English Centre and MTC Work Solutions (Youth Connections) participated in five weeks of workshops culminating in a showcase at Hurstville Civic Theatre. The event was incredibly moving with spoken word poems about ‘freedom’ by Kogarah IEC, a hilarious interrogation by Hurstville Boys and a brave and beautiful song Bike Shop performed by Christian from Youth Connections. There was an incredible transformation across the project with some participants who originally did not take the subject matter seriously to developing a deeper understanding of how precious and essential women are to our society; one student sang “for a brighter future for all of us, we need to respect women it’s a must”.
St. George Youth Services Funded by: Hurstville City Council, Kogarah City Council and Rockdale City Council Sierra Leone Cultural Performance Group Across 2011 Shopfront collaborated with the Sierra Leone Performance Group to run a number of workshops in performance, creative text, documentary, dance and visual art with African young people in Marrickville.

Artstart NSW Youth Arts and Skills Program Once again Shopfront administrated the South Sydney Metro program for Artstart NSW – a bi annual program of diverse skills development for young people aged 13-24. A small grants program saw a number of local community organisations and individuals run some great projects, some additional skills development workshops, and a partnership with the NSW far west project. Local projects included: Matthew Massaria Matthew created a very groovy piece of music with music producer Michael Meem, and visuals with Sarah Emery and Lucy Watson. Margot Politis Margot managed a community movement workshop program for young people with mild to moderate physical and intellectual disabilities. Beverly Hills Intensive English Centre Young people from Beverly Hills IEC, Beverly Hills Girls High school, Menai High School, and Narwee Primary School participated in music workshops. Youthzone (Hurstville Youth Centre) This project provided opportunities for disadvantaged young women to gain skills in traditional cultural and modern dance (including Chinese and Arabic). Kogarah City Council with Kogarah Intensive English Centre Senior students at the Kogarah Intensive English Centre (IEC) (young people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) backgrounds recently
arrived in Australia), produced a video exploring the sporting culture of the St George area.

John’s Place Youth Drop-In Centre, Sutherland A workshop highlighting techniques of street art promoting the positive social uses of the art form. The project included painting a mural on the side of St Johns drop in centre. St George Youth Services (Links to Learning) The project provided mixed media workshops for participants to make a piece of jewellery, clothing or object that expressed for them what it means to “love the skin you are in”. Machine Atlas Shopfront’s Major Project Machine Atlas was also supported by ArtStart. Over one hundred young people contributed to a lively night market place of new inventions.
RAW 2011
Yann Audic | 2011 Stop, Drop & Raw was a season of work conceived, written, directed and designed by young artists 15- 25 years. The ensemble of twelve young people was facilitated through a creation process that resulted in seven short works of intimate beauty and resourceful imagery. Michael Pigott season director, has developed the Raw model over the past few years to deftly shape up a making process in 9 sessions, followed by an intensive
production period. The dream-lightness of love and the blues of exclusion, the depths of a post-industrial apocalypse and the swirl of our anonymity in city life were all explored in a process that commits to core ideas pitched by participants that then followed these ideas right through to a public season.
