For Townsville playwright and performer Shannon Jensen, a descendent of the Gunggandji people of Yarrabah, the opportunity to have her in-development play Watersong workshopped and shown at Yellamundie Festival is hugely important.
First held in 2013, Yellamundie Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a public program running from 28-30 September at Carriageworks. But even before the public are invited in to attend the public showings and related events, selected works undergo two weeks of rigorous development (which are already underway) with First Peoples directors, actors and dramaturgs.
