Echo Collective is open to all Deaf and Disabled Artists with an interest in collaborative and experimental art-making, music, visual art and improvisation. Echo Collective welcomes all Deaf and Disabled artists including those from Cultural and Linguistic Diverse backgrounds as well as First Nations, Black, Indigenous, People of Colour (BIPOC) and LGBTQIA+ artists.
Echo Collective meets each Wednesday and breaks during the school holiday periods. We have 40 sessions a year. Each session runs for 3 hours, 10am-1pm
Echo Collective develops skills in performance and improvisation. Members of the collective work together. You will share stories and interests. We use these stories and ideas as a starting point for making live or recorded performances.
Echo Collective’s interest in performing stories takes all forms. You will work in drawing and visual art, dance and movement, interviews and word games.
Echo Collective believes in using imagination, having a willingness to be surprised, an open mind and a sense of humour.
