What we found during Rosny Farm’s micro-residency
At Rosny Farm we spent four days looking up. That sounds simple, but it changed something. We sat together in circles. We listened to sounds, stories and each other. We built stars from fabric, thread and memories. Some people talked. Some people drew. Some people just sat quietly and watched the sky grow above us.
Reaching for the stars
The creative process behind the series of meditations by Elise Romaszko takes us into new worlds in the development of What the Stars Remember.
SEEd funding helps develop What the Stars Remember
Second Echo Ensemble was invited by Ten Days on the Island to pitch What the Stars Remember at the Confederation of Australian International Arts Festivals gathering. All the Major Festivals were there. Kelly Drummond Cawthon and Elise Romaszko reflect on the experience and their successful pitch to secure $10,000 in seed funding to develop the project.
Do you want to live in the universe?
During the Performing Lines Tasmania creative residency, Second Echo Ensemble artist Elise Romaszko shared an improvised meditation which is now woven into the evolving constellation of What the Stars Remember.
The Room Listened
I have a disability but I use it to my ability. What the Stars Remember is my work, and it comes from my imagination. At the Performing Lines residency I got to perform it and share it with other artists. I was with other artists, and my work mattered.
