Junction2010 is launched and WeTubeLIVE is a part of it.  Junction Arts Festival is part of Junction 2010 – the Regional Arts Australia national conference in Launceston from August 26-29, 2010.  The seventh biennial Regional Arts Australia national conference will be presented by Regional Arts Australia and Tasmanian Regional Arts, in collaboration with the host community of Launceston from August 26-29. Check out the program here .

To all past and present Stompin dancers, artists, volunteers, Board members, production crew and anyone who has been involved with the company over the past 19 years. We would like you to be involved in our new Pack Project.

We’re very interested in collecting stories about your experiences with Stompin and to do this, we want to invite you to be part of the Stompin ‘alumni’ group called Pack.  Pack is like the Stompin Hall of Fame… each of you deserve a place in Stompin’s rich history and we want to formally acknowledge your contributions through the establishment of a dedicated group.  To start the Pack ball rolling, we were wondering if you would like to spend 5-10 minutes filling out an online survey about your Stompin experience.  Its not your average survey and we hope it provides a fun way of telling us how Stompin might have affected you. 

To do the survey, click here .  The survey is completely confidential. We will never identify you by name, shirt size or other personal characteristic now or in the future.  If you have any questions or problems accessing the survey, please contact Stompin and we will help you out.

Kind regards

Melody West on behalf of Pack

A living exhibition of 100 solos ripped from the internet performed

live & all-at-once by young Tasmanians. 

Stompin presents WeTubeLIVE, a diverse group of young Tasmanians in a large-scale performed response to the social networking site YouTube.

Each performer has selected and learned their favorite YouTube clip and we’ll present them all together and all at the same time, filling Launceston’s beautiful Albert Hall with dancing, talking and singing young people.

This is not your regular sit-down performance, Stompin invites you to wander through our giant living exhibition; come and go as many times as you like and see what we’re up to, what we’re into and who we are.
