Shopfront 2013 Annual Report by Shopfront Arts Co-op

Shopfront 2013 Annual Report Contemporary Arts and Performance for under 25s

Chair’s Statement Shopfront once again travelled through different places, times, spaces and adventures this year, exploring ideas, contexts and perspectives. Our co-Artistic Directors, Caitlin Newton-Broad and Howard Matthew, supported by our company artists and led by our young members, together discovered diverse artistic forms and media. They connected our Residential, Outreach and Accessibility program streams to create rich and beautiful art. Do the intimate journeys of young people through Travel Songs of Sea and Land still resonate with you? Do you remember the bright CITYLIGHTS ~ 街の灯 of Sydney and Yokohama? Which adventure did you choose in The Drawing? Or did you take A Walk in the Dark as our emerging artists embraced civic life? Nominated by Shopfront, former Outreach Director Sarah Emery received the national Kirk Robson Award, recognising her outstanding leadership in community arts and cultural development. We were also the recipient of the Creative Partnerships Arts Access Award for ACT & NSW, which recognised the breadth and reach of Shopfront’s dedicated Accessibility program, lead by Margot Politis. We continued to share learning about creative and governance processes through the ongoing commitment of our staff, and expertise and experience offered by our Board.

Coupled with consultative forums to hear directly from our membership and stakeholders through our launch of the Voice of Shopfront (our Youth Council) and Parent and Friend Committee, we listened and grew. As always, we thank our key funding partners, including Australia Council for the Arts-Community Partnerships and Theatre Boards, the NSW Government through Arts NSW and NSW Department of Family and Community Services, local government supporters and those philanthropic organisations and individuals that offer invaluable monetary and in-kind support. As 2013 marks the conclusion of our Key Producer funding from the Australia Council for the Arts, we extend thanks for this unique opportunity to deepen our diversity and capacity over the last six years, which has strengthened our sustainability. Of course, we have farewelled and welcomed members of our community. To this end, we particularly recognise the service on our Board of Katherine Shortland and Tasha Dal Bianco, and the significant contribution of Sarah Emery. We welcome new members, Hannah Grant as our Outreach Director and new Board directors, Samantha Crome and Scott Parker. It remains an honour to be a part of Shopfront. I continue to be inspired by you all and hope that you will travel with us into Shopfront’s future. Elizabeth Hristoforidis

Artistic Director/ CEO Report 2013

“Do You Shopfront?” Adventures in Art, Film, Theatre and the future. Adventures in Self and Community. The 2013 artistic program reflected the skills and interests of over 1100 young people who made art, supported by Shopfront’s community partners and inspired by the places where we live, dream and work. The year began with Murasaki Penguin’s CITYLIGHTS ~ 街の灯, an international project which live-streamed performance between young performers in Sydney and dancers in Yokohama, Japan. This was followed by the intimate sound and sensory tour The Walking Project created by teenagers at Woniora Road School, leading up to the major integrated project, Travel Songs of Sea & Land, a film bringing together 100 young people across South and Western Sydney. We thank the committed established artists and outstanding up-andcoming artists who worked alongside children and young people, supporting them to learn, go deep and make extraordinary work. Notably, 28 artists in their first five years of professional practice worked with us and a pilot

program Civic Life, which grew from the successful Artslab artist-in-residence program, supported talented young artists to consolidate their practice and explore art in social context. We acknowledge our core staff and the experienced Shopfront Board for their ongoing support and advice. In 2013, we said farewell to Sarah Emery, who worked as Shopfront’s unstoppable Outreach Director for five years. We welcomed Hannah Grant as Outreach Director, hosted a wonderful UNSW social work intern, Verity Mackey and together with Amanda Foote, Margot Politis, Kevin Ng and Hannah Strout, we have been a tight-knit team, fuelled by the energy of the young artists we serve. Shopfront is a vibrant, powering arts inventor and home for young artists in Sydney - a place to express our common beauty, dreams and realities; a place where bold pathways are forged through access to contemporary arts and true freedom of expression.

Multi-Arts Workshop Program “I am proud of the outstanding feats young people can achieve with the help from those at Shopfront.” Parent Feedback Shopfront’s multi-arts onsite workshop program supports the work of young artists aged 8-25 years. The emphasis of the workshop program is on collaboration, friendship, invention and skills development. Young people create work using animation, puppetry, movement, devised theatre, film and visual arts. Across 2013 there were a total of 391 enrolments in the workshop program across four terms. The area of most growth was in film. Due to increased demand from young people, Shopfront created a second film workshop, Studio Essentials, for young people 10-16yrs interested in learning the building blocks of film-making. Families contribute to the cost of the program with a termly fee and an annual membership fee to become a financial member of the co-operative. Shopfront provides access to young people experiencing disadvantage through scholarship places and actively builds pathways between the Outreach program and onsite programs.

Junior Ensemble: The Drawing: It’s Up To You

Walking home you make a wrong turn. You’re lost. It’s dark and it’s raining. A house looms from the shadows. What do you do? Shopfront’s 2013 Junior Ensemble created a playful yet mystical journey drawn from fairy tales, TV and video games. No two shows were ever the same. Equipped with a party bag full of colourful and eclectic objects the audience voted at numerous points in the show to influence how the story unfolded. Over a 5 month period 26 young people worked with Director Nat Rose (post) across all aspects of production, creating an original script, designing

set and costume and performing a 45 minute show. The work was supported by assistant directors Chris Dunstan and Carly Young who worked on the project as part of their Civic Life residency.

Emerging Artists

CITYLIGHTS ~ 街の灯

WORLD RAW’13

A subtle, inventive work by emerging arts duo Murasaki Penguin - artists David Kirkpatrick and Anna Kuroda. Together they worked with young people in Australia and trained dancers in Japan to create a simultaneous performance between summertime Sydney and wintertime Yokohama. Supported in conversation with mentor Bec Dean, Co-Artistic Director of Performance Space.

What does a robot mechanic, message in a bottle and a teen party have in common? WORLD RAW’13 was a Youth Week project in which artists 15-25 years entered eight weeks of creative development, exploring devised theatre to create five distinctive, original theatre works. The authentic, imagebased process lead by master teacher/ director, Michael Piggott resulted in works of touching beauty and honesty.

Civic Life, Artist in Residence Program

Civic Life was the pilot year of an artist-in-residence program evolved from Artslab, with an emphasis on art in social context. Six emerging artists attached to a Shopfront Co-op project, mentored by experienced artists in community arts facilitation, film and theatre. Each artist-in-residence also led mini-teams through selfdirected projects, creating a season of contemporary performance, playscript and installation, mentored by outstanding Australian performance and film artists with the involvement of 23 young artists as collaborators. The final season, A Walk in the Dark was a sensory feast of exceptional range and depth in artistic enquiry, split across alternating nights, with a final Sunday marathon, offering five hours of original live art-works.

Sensory Games

Sensory Games worked with 52 students with and without disability and 10 artists over 3 terms. The emphasis was to develop multi-sensory artworks which encouraged play and exploration as a way of creating work. The project was led by UK artist Robin Whitmore who has over 20 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience working with young people with disability. Robin led a 3 day intensive professional development for 5 artists who were looking to extend their practice and knowledge in this field. The project culminated with a performance for the school community and the experiments and games are

being collated for publication.

Outreach Program “(Your) Work Creates a Shift in Imagination.” Mark Smith, Principal, Lomandra School Shopfront’s Outreach Program worked with education, health and community partners across 2013 to engage almost 600 young people. Continually finding new ways to place young people’s voices at the centre of work, the Outreach program explores young people’s stories, ideas and opinions. It supports their skills development as they try a variety of artforms. Exploring the imagination as a space for transformation, young people go on journeys to find new ways of inhabiting and seeing their various worlds, taking risks, making discoveries and creating experiences for audiences. Partners & Supporters: NSW Department of Family and Community Services

Walking Project A travelling audience walked through a parallel, surreal universe on a journey from Hurstville to Carlton created by young people for whom outside space can be an anxious place. The Walking Project marked a continuation of a four-year partnership between Shopfront and Woniora Road School – a special purpose school for young people with mental and emotional health needs. 16 young people created a variety of site-specific audio and visual responses for audiences to experience on the journey between school and Shopfront by foot and train.

Accessibility Program “I want to explore connection and friendship. I would like to create a powerful experience for the audience. I want audiences to feel a ‘WOW’ factor when watching my video”

Long-standing Shopfront member, Matthew Massaria, was funded by Accessible Arts NSW’s Amplify Your Art program to make his insightful and emotive film, Dance is Friendship which explored ideas of isolation and connection.

Matthew Massaria, recipient of 2013 Amplify Your Art grant, for artists with disability

As an entirely new development in 2013 Shopfront created Harness, an emerging artists program for people with disability. Funded by Arts NSW, this program offered 3 artists from Bodylines professional development and mentoring to create new work for 2014 and to explore career pathways in the creative industries.

In 2013, the Bodylines Dance Theatre Ensemble for young people with disability became two distinct programs: Bodylines Build (under 18s) and Bodylines Extend (18s and over). Both Ensembles contributed to Shopfront’s Major Project Travel Songs of Sea and Land. Exploring themes of routine, ritual and illusion, the Ensembles made their second dance theatre film - Reaching Out, Over & Over the feature presentation of Kogarah Council’s short film festival, Take 6 Flicks, for International Day of People with Disability. As part of Shopfront’s commitment to our local community we offered a series of outreach workshops with Kogarah High School Support Unit, and a new residential program was formed for young people with disability new to the arts, entitled Stepping Stones.

In 2013, the Shopfront Accessibility Program received the Arts Access Award for NSW/ACT from Community Partnerships Australia. This award acknowledges Shopfront’s contribution to providing innovative and quality artistic programs for young people with disability.

Major Integrated Project “How Beautiful, very moving, poetic and original. I loved how you all evoked the feeling of loss and of hope. Amazing!”

“I would like to thank (the young artists) for opening up my eyes to what society has to do to be safe and stay alive.”

Audience member, Travel Songs of Sea & Land

Travel Songs Of Sea & Land A young man pulls a flotilla of islands to shore, two young women embrace at the airport and exchange flowers and a letter, a group of young people map out lives of change and travel as a long collage. This was some of the imagery which accompanied Shopfront’s major integrated film project, Travel Songs of Sea and Land. Over a 5 month period a team of artists worked with 100 young people from across South and Western Sydney exploring a range of media including animation, visual arts, text, photography and sound to create a series of songs for film. The project provided a platform for young people to share their own stories. Some stories chart journeys to a new life in Australia, some explore journeys of imagination and some reflect local, everyday journeys.
