Act-Belong-Commit Walk With Me

About this event

ART ON THE MOVE, Mandurah Performing Arts Centre & Riptide Youth Performance Company present Walk With Me.

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 allows people to discover their towns 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.

Katt Osborne and Riptide associate artists Riptide associate artist Ruby Liddelow says, “Walk With Me involves the audience, actively engaging them in the performance rather than treating them as passive spectators. Thanks to ART ON THE MOVE, we will be able to involve young people in other parts of Western Australia, working with them to create three all-new tours. Each participatory tour will be absolutely unique to the people and places in those regional centres.”

Riptide’s artistic director Katt Osborne says, “This is an excellent chance for young people in Harvey, Carnarvon and Geraldton to engage with the arts, and to share their thoughts and feelings about their town and what they see in its future. I’m excited for this tour because it will leave a legacy in each regional centre – a new artistic work that’s exciting, accessible and deeply relevant to the people who live there.”
