Accepting the voluntary nature of our programme and the often unpredictable schedules imposed on actors, AfR will: 1) Develop an active network of supporters within our industry which will be prepared to appear, speak, or lend their names to the campaigns of other community-based groups and NGOs.
2) Assist the development and performance of productions of other groups.
3) Build a pool of personal stories to assist in the development of our own production and/or for the use of actors engaged to speak. These will come from two sources:
- Refugees, including people with a refugee background who are now resident in Australia, asylum seekers in detention (mindful of the status of their application), and those who have been recently released. We can explore both their Australian "experience" and the events in their homeland that brought them here and, of course, reinforce positive representations of refugees active in our community by celebrating their startling contributions to it.
- Australian citizens who have worked with refugees, either in detention or in community services after their release.
4) Encourage supporters to engage in grassroots activities that directly assist asylum seekers both in detention and living in the community. Find out about our Cast of 1,000's |
