Information Afternoon – Saturday 25th September 2.30pm

A new dance work in 6 parts… enjoy the story of a young magpie across twelve months living at Middleton Beach. “As the sun rises over Middleton Beach, the morning warble of the magpies can be heard. High above the ground, in the branch of a Norfolk Pine, sits a lonely, young magpie. She is searching for a mate and dreaming of a family of her own”

Albany Light Opera and Theatre Co’s ‘Let’s Shine’ and Breaksea.org have been working together to create an inspirational performance for the Breaksea Festival at the Albany Entertainment Centre. https://www.breaksea.org/

‘Let’s Shine’ requires dancers and actors (no singing or talking parts) to perform in a production written by Naomi Lake (mentored by Diane Wolfer), choregraphed by Emily O’Brien (mentored by Rita Bush) and co-ordinated by Janet McArtney, collaboratively with breaksea.org.

‘Lets Shine’ provides a safe environment for people living with disabilities to perform.
