New at Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre: singing and film

Do you like to sing? Would you like to sing?
Thanks to the Opus 50 Charitable Trust an accessible singing group, Chrysalis, has started at Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre. We would like anyone who can sing a bit to join in (maybe you belt out something in the shower but are a bit shy to sing in public yet, or you sang a bit at school thousands of years ago and enjoyed it).

People with and without disability are encouraged to come along ... this is an accessible group in the community and we absolutely hope people from everywhere will make this their cool place to be on Thursday evenings.

The music director for Chrysalis is Australian composer and musician Sarah de Jong. Sarah has composed music for film and theatre, recently a new Australian opera “Cockatoos” for the Victorian Youth Opera. But Sarah covers repertoire from Handel to MacArthur Park, Coldplay and Leonard Cohen. Sarah also teaches piano and singing everywhere.

The 1 in 5 Film Project: Audition Callouts for emerging actors with a disability 

The 1 in 5 Film Project is a joint initiative of Torrid Films and Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre to develop and produce a professionally made short film in collaboration with emerging actors with disabilities. 

The finished film will be submitted to both national and international film festivals. Emerging actors who identify as having a disability are invited to audition for this exciting project. 

Auditions will be held the weekend of 6 and 7 October at Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre.
