Reflections on the landscape

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

AS PART of the Healesville 150 celebrations, Healesville Environment Watch Inc (HEWI) will hold a special performance.
The performance, to be held on Saturday 15 November, will be called Waterways Reflection and will share an insight into the importance of landscape and waterways to the area.
The project is calling for a collaboration of artists, historians, scientists, indigenous knowledge keepers and creatives to work together in workshops held from 11 to 15 November.
The project leader, Jeminah Reidy, is an internationally experienced arts facilitator and scenographer with strong connections to the region.
Ms Reidy will assist the group in creating and developing the ideas into artistic responses through music, dance, sculpture, art installations and storytelling, with an audience invited to experience it for themselves at 4.30pm at Queens Park on Saturday 15 November.
Audiences will be able to walk through the site and watch, listen and participate in what the creatives have developed.
Funded by Melbourne Water, the entire workshop and performance is free and sure to get visitors’ creative juices flowing.
Puppeteers, visual artists, musicians, dancers, projection artists, creatives or anyoune who would like to get involved can contact Jeminah Reidy on 0414 419 182.
