UP THERE (Boorloo)
It’s our fourth year supporting a performance at The Blue Room, and we’re leaving the theatre for a journey on foot through Perth instead. UP THERE (Boorloo) has been described as a walking meditation on the people and buildings that make up a place. Noongar perspectives and stories will be woven through the production, as we consider how to bring life into the CBD’s empty or underutilised spaces.
And why do they get all the empty shop fronts?
You look up to the second level of terrace shop fronts. “Oh, but they’re for storage”, your friend says, your Mum says, your friend’s Mum says. But surely all these spaces aren’t for storage.
What stories do they have to tell?
What stories do we have to tell about them?
Brought to life by Tay Conway, William Gammel, Leah Robyn, Rebecca Riggs-Bennett, and the people of Boorloo, UP THERE (Boorloo) is a site responsive audio walking tour of empty and underutilised spaces in the CBD of Boorloo (Perth). This work will interrogate place, space, community and people’s ability to occupy these spaces.
We can’t wait to see it! Book your tickets here.
