Joseph Simons in Berlin 2013 Tanja Liedtke Fellow, Joseph Simons started his creative development residency in Berlin on Monday 5 August. After the long journey from his home in Dubbo, (a regional town in central NSW in Australia) Joseph arrived in Berlin to warm weather and all that this amazing cultural centre offers, and he wasted no time in getting to know the city and start CREATING. Joseph has initiated a blog on his website, where he will be writing regular updates of his experiences and adventures. Enjoy! Here's the link to his blog: http://www.josephsimons.com.au/-Blog-.html The video report/s can also be found at Prior to his departure Joseph was interviewed for the Dubbo Photo News.
inspiring dance workshops at NAISDA and atyp Later in August, the Tanja Liedtke Foundation will again be delivering the inspiring dance workshop program to students at NAISDA Dance Academy. Kristina Chan and Amelia McQueen will be in residence at NAISDA’s Kariong campus , working with all of the students that attend the academy as well as some independent professional dancers who will join the workshops in the second week. This program will lead students through a creative process where the young artists draw on specific starting points and develop their own original choreography. They gain skills in collaboration and structuring as they work with each other, while being guided by Kristina and Amelia. This workshop will be followed by a return of the inspiring dance workshops to the Australian Theatre for Young People (atyp) in Sydney. Following a first workshop with the Ensemble group in May, Kristina Chan and Craig Bary will work with some older students in September, in a week long course which will also incorporate voice workshops.
