Wednesday 25 July 2007

I have read in various WA papers of new theatre buildings, venues, programmes etc all aimed at enhancing Perth's cultural and artistic standing. Is this perths new shake-up that we have been hoping for? For anyone who lives in Cockburn in WA please read the article on the front cover of "Cockburn Surroundings." Here is the article and I thought it may be of interest to those in WA looking for a venue to perform, record etc in. COCKBURN YOUTH CENTRE IS GOING FULL STEAM AHEAD Gavin construction has been selected to build the City of Cockburns state-of-the-art Youth Centre in Success, near Cockburn's Gateways Shopping Centre. (Also known as Cockburn Central Building is expected to commence at the end of July 2007. The cockburn youth centre will be a two-storey building that will house the city's existing youth services along with youthreach south, the fremantle strong families project co-ordinator and other relevant youth organisations. At the centre, youth will have the opportunity to pursue and showcase their skills and talents through a wide range of recreational activities and programmes. The centre boasts a contemporary music recording space, a "jam room", large multipurpose hall with stage and full performance capabilities, IT rooms and a number of ther spaces the vision for the centre is for it to become a regional icon for young people capable of accomodating conferences, expos, large music events, radio broadcasts etc etc etc" For more info about this project refer to this link >>> http://www.cockburn.wa.gov.au/Community_Services/Youth_Services/?c=4 This is article is one of several I've spotted throughout the last week or so. . . .Am I hoping too much for the future of WA theatre and arts? ~ Tari
