Newcastle\u2019s COVID-19-disrupted performing arts and live music industries will be reinvigorated by a new initiative which will see emerging performers work with experienced professionals to deliver live events in suburban parks.
\nCity of Newcastle is offering opportunities for emerging creatives who will present live music and performances at eight events held in Gregson Park, Centennial Park, Jesmond Park and Lambton Park on weekends throughout January.
\n\"Councillor-Carol-Dunan-performer-Hannah-Indigo-Jasmine-Fletcher-from-Queer-and-Now-and-Lord-Mayor-Nuatali-Nelmes.JPG\"City of Newcastle Interim Director Strategy and Engagement Kathleen Hyland said taking live music and performances outdoors this summer is a COVID safe way to bring the local community back together after the prolonged lockdown period.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a challenging time for the performing arts sector and live music industry in Newcastle, with many artists and performers out of work for several months,\u201d Ms Hyland said.
\n\u201cCity of Newcastle is committed to putting our support behind these industries by activating the suburbs and creating opportunities for live outdoor entertainment this summer, in a bid to bring the community back together safely.
\n\u201cI hope people get a boost from visiting their local park, joining with friends and family and enjoying the energy and atmosphere of live performances while supporting Newcastle\u2019s cultural scene.\u201d
\nYoung and emerging event producer Jasmine Fletcher from Queer and Now said the group is looking forward to working with local not-for-profit arts organisation Octapod and City of Newcastle to deliver creative performances showcasing local talent.
\n\u201cThis is such an exciting opportunity for our local performing arts industry following months of lockdown,\u201d Jasmine said.
\n“We’ve curated a stellar line-up of local talent from poets, hula-hoopers to stilt walkers, and can’t wait to see them perform live in front of a crowd this summer.”
\nThe initiative is funded under City of Newcastle\u2019s COVID-19 Community Economic Resilience Package (CERP) and follows the December round of Locally Made and Played grant funding, which will see more than 80 live music, micro theatre and comedy-style performances held across the city in the lead up to Christmas between 1 – 20 December 2021.
