Reflections -Referendum: 40 years to the Future
ACPA – read more about them at http://www.acpa.net.au/about.cfm.htm
'Reflections – Referendum: 40 years and to the Future' an original theatre piece devised by the talented and innovative students of the Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts (ACPA) and directed by Resident Artistic Director Leah Purcell.
The production is a powerful and uplifting piece of music theatre that both entertains and informs. It is a theatrical journey which reflects upon the movement of Black and White Australians and their fight for the 1967 Referendum: Aborigines & the right to vote.
“Reflections” premiered in June last year at QPAC to capacity audiences. Due to the season selling out, QPAC and ACPA will be re-mounting the production in April 2008 to allow this important piece of theatre to be seen by the broader community of Queensland .
ACPA students have drawn on their own stories and those of Elders as the inspiration for the content of the show both musically & dramatically. The Elders worked with the performers to enhance their understanding of the determination, struggle and the strength of Australia ’s Indigenous people from the past to the present. Their stories have indeed served as ongoing inspiration for the students and the creation and development of this performance piece.
Having explored the potent themes of the 1967 Referendum in the first act, the younger generation’s hopes and aspirations for the future are explored in the second.
ACPA students will enthrall audiences with their vitality, depth and breadth of skill.
In short “Reflections” is a combination of historic and contemporary ideas portrayed through performance to pay homage to both the past and the future, by reflecting on an image of pride, hope, integrity and beauty.
