Shadow Play with Rachel Riggs

Fri 21 Jan 2022  |  10:00am — 11:00am  |  Room of Stories (Room 1)

An ancient form of storytelling and performance, shadow play involves using puppets to cast a silhouette on a translucent screen — making the figures walk, dance, fight, nod and laugh! Join prolific Hundreds & Thousands artist and puppeteer Rachel Riggs as she takes you on a storytelling journey to other worlds using light, handmade puppets and, of course, your imagination. Stay after the session and explore the rest of the immersive colourful spaces in the exhibition.

Sunday Music: Mathas + Project Bexx

Sun 23 Jan 2022  |  2:00pm — 4:00pm  |  Front Garden

Mathas (aka Tom Mathieson) has somewhat cartoonishly rapped on stages around Australia for yonks. Mathas chooses subjects for his stories that are often uncomfortable reflections on Australian society, made accessible by his signature comedic, character-filled performance style. A ferociously talented visual artist, poet, producer and performer, Mathas has a long history of illuminating stages. He’s sharing the bill with Project BEXX (WA), a boss-bitch electronic producer, DJ and performance artist.

FAC Yeah! Fremantle Arts Centre Community Choir

Tue 01 Feb 2022  |  7:00pm — 8:30pm  |  Inner Courtyard

It’s a well-known fact that the euphoric endorphin rush you get from belting out a tune is pretty hard to beat. Couple that with belonging to a group of deadset legends and it’s clear to see why community choirs have become so popular in recent years. The acoustics in FAC’s Inner Courtyard are just crying out for some perfectly harmonised tunes so we’re delighted to introduce FAC Yeah! – Fremantle Arts Centre’s new choir, led by the one and only Natalie Gillespie.
