\u201cTogether, your images and videos will tell the story of the coronavirus pandemic in regional Victoria, how we survived, and in some ways, even thrived,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re also hoping Creative Corona will increase our profile. We\u2019ve had our hands tied with the usual events we\u2019d have at this time of year, but what we hope to do at the end is curate it, in a different way, into some kind of exhibition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll just leave it open until the end of the year and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grandmother and granddaughter, Betty Collier and Abby Johns produced an illustration and lino print respectively, adding them to #CreativeCoronaBallarat<\/strong>.<\/p>\nFourteen-year-old ballerina, Charlotte Chivers chose to share a dancing photograph to open a window to her world of performance, and inspire others.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn January, I did a production called The Magic Faraway Tree<\/em>. I was one of the main characters and that\u2019s what the photo is from,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve had some feedback from people who said it was a very nice picture and it made them happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chivers received a BAF grant last year which covered items she needed to continue dancing with Classical Coaching Australia, Brisbane, including her uniforms and pointe shoes.<\/p>\n
Throughout the term in isolation, she completed CCA Zoom classes from 9am to 3.15pm.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a challenge, but it was fun, too. It was a good experience,\u201d Chivers said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels freeing to dance, and I don\u2019t have to think about anything else when I\u2019m doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
