Diversitat is seeking volunteers and participants for its new theatre project aimed at senior members of Geelong\u2019s Indigenous, LGBTI+ and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. <\/p>\n

The Diversity Theatre Project, run by Diversitat Aged Support, looks to promote health and wellbeing through performing arts. <\/p>\n

The project \u2013 to be showcased at Costa Hall on June 12 and 13 \u2013 is seeking members of LGBTI+ or CALD communities over the age of 65 and Indigenous people over the age of 50.<\/p>\n

Diversitat Aged Support general manager Robyn Martinez said she hoped people would use the program as a means to tell a story about their lives or people they know. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis project is an opportunity for participants to increase their wellbeing and social support options and make a beautiful piece of theatre about something they care about, and a story they want to tell,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really looking for older people to tell their stories and be involved in a fun, exciting activity. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere will also be opportunities for participants who don\u2019t want to be on stage \u2013 (they) will still play an important role in helping us to shape a show.\u201d <\/p>\n

Director Peter Jukes said the style and content of the show would be shaped by the participants. <\/p>\n

He also said the cast would have the opportunity to work in a \u201cworld class\u201d theatre environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy role is to co-ordinate the creation of the piece of theatre that we come up with at the end. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing set in concrete yet \u2013 the show will be created by the people who participate in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diversitat said volunteers (over 18) with a passion for theatre were also needed to ensure the production was a success. <\/p>\n
