One One Fleurieu

One One Fleurieu was the flagship youth event of the Festival Fleurieu‘s 2021 program. Part of Things storytellers Nic Tubb and Alysha Herrmann were commissioned by the Festival to work with producer Chelsea Nicholls and young people from the Fleurieu region to co-create a projection artwork exploring the voices and perspectives of Fleurieu young people. Young people aged 14-25 make up 11% of the Alexandrina, Victor Habor and Yankalilla district communities, and One One Fleurieu was an opportunity for Festival Fleurieu to hear from and connect with the 11%.

Facilitators: Alysha Herrmann & Nic Tubb, Riverland (Part of Things)

Producer: Chelsea Nicholls, Fleurieu (Festival Fleurieu)

Process:

3 x face-to-face weekend workshops in the Fleurieu (February & March)

Digital collaboration using the Part of Things Mighty Network

Direct contributions to an open call out and by invitation.

Alysha & Nic presented a slideshow demo on the back of the Yankalilla RSL on Sunday 11th April 2021 to launch One One Fleurieu before the final artwork co-created from writing, illustration, animation, sound and other creations by Fleurieu young people was presented on the permanent projectors at Victa Cinemas during April 2021.

If you are a young person aged 14-25 living in Alexandria, Victor Harbour or Yankalilla Council districts and you’d like to be involved in future projects with Festival Fleurieu please contact Chelsea Nicholls via Fleurieu Youthscape on FB.
