Regrowth is a ‘site specific’, performing arts program for young people aged 12-17 years, implemented by The Family Place, Campbell Page and Bontom. The program will be held in community spaces and aims to facilitate healing, recovery and personal growth for young people following the bushfire crisis and the pandemic. Young people will have the opportunity to devise and create theatre from their own stories and shared experiences. The workshops will be developed and facilitated by Bontom, a creative and experienced team of young professional artists, who specialise in site specific theatre, with support from a team of youth workers from The Family Place and Campbell Page. The Family Place CEO, Malindey Sorrell, said the project involves linking creative and artistic opportunities for our young people to reconnect, build resilience and flourish: “Regrowth not only includes theatre and performance skills but opportunities for work experience across film making, performing arts and community development to provide young people on the south coast the chance to gain skills and consider careers in these areas so there really is something for everyone,” “The Regrowth project includes the production of a feature length documentary that will capture the journey of participants as they move through and engage in the theatre making process as well as a research project coordinated by the University of Sydney’s CREATE Centre. These components will ensure Regrowth has far-reaching and sustained benefits for each local community,” she said. Campbell Page Program Manager for Indigenous, Youth & Family Services, Janine Hutton said “We’re delighted to be partnering on this youth-led, resilience building project. It will provide so many fantastic opportunities for young people in our community while giving them a voice and a platform to share their experiences over the last few years”.
