The
VJ workshops in Northbridge and Fremantle went very well.
Both The
Projection Lounge and the Fly
By Night Club were great venues and the feedback was
all very positive. Participants had the chance to work
live with musicians Cordata
and KitPop,
and dancer Ellen
McCarthy. Some excellent work was produced by participants
and will be authored to DVD, hopefully by the end of July.
