Act-Belong-Commit | Walk With Me
About this event
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF YOUR TOWN
Walk With Me offers a glimpse into tomorrow, as imagined by the young people of today.
Bring your headphones, grab a map and embark on an immersive sonic journey pulsing with curiosity, hope and humour. You’ll never think about ‘home’ the same way again…
Walk With Me is a participatory audio tour that offers locals and visitors a new way to discover the town through fresh eyes. Originally developed by Mandurah’s Riptide Youth Performance Company with artistic director Katt Osborne, this innovative concept is coming to Harvey, Carnarvon and Geraldton as part of a regional tour.
Riptide creative lead Katt Osborne and associate artists Ruby Liddelow and Harrison Mitchell will visit these regional centres and mentor a group of young people to develop a new and unique version of Walk With Me for their town. Supported by Healthway under the Act-Belong-Commit message, these workshops will immerse young people in a creative environment to improve mental health and wellbeing. Offering opportunities to work alongside professional and emerging artists, participants will develop writing, communication and collaboration skills and improve confidence. Following the developments, the audio tour will be available for locals and visitors alike to follow the audio journey that will connect them with the landscape of ‘home’.
