My Radio Heart - Creative Development

A Norpa Initiated Project with Tralala Blip & Urban Theatre Projects

Drawing inspiration from the Marvel comic book series X-Men, Joy Division’s Ian Curtis and the Fibonacci sequence, My Radio Heart is a love story for the 21st Century. Cinematic audio-visuals along with punk rock, electronica and country and western music create a breath-taking fantasy world where love triumphs.

This new Australian work is made with exquisite attention to detail by an ensemble of six abled and differently abled performers. We imagine the final work to be an hour-long omni-sensorial experience full of birds, bocce and an oak tree.

Running parallel to this creative development we have facilitated a series of professional development workshops in sound, dance and video for people living with a disability.
