Women of Song, an innovative new show filled with conversations and songs that articulate First Nations cultural practice in the here and now, will be presented at Laycock Street Theatre on August 30.
The show was developed by the acclaimed Jessie Lloyd of Mission Songs Project and being presented in association with Musica Viva.
Performers will explore how their songs preserve the social, cultural or environmental shifts of a community and deepen connections to country, genealogy and custom.
Audiences will experience First Nations cultural practices in music from the women who practise them.
The production includes themes of inter-generational practices, singing on and from country, commitment to community and preserving knowledge in song.
It’s an intimate celebration of the here and now of Indigenous culture, a rare mix of spontaneous conversation and songs, exploring the modern-day practice and living heart of the world’s oldest living culture.
Women of Song will be performed at 7.30pm on Friday, August 30, at Laycock Street Community Theatre.
