Jamaylya Ballangarry-Kearins takes to the stage

We're proud to see Jamaylya Ballangarry-Kearins (NorthSite Gallery Officer) take to the stage with JUTE Theatre Company’s First Nations residency program, 'Dare to Dream'. The 'Dare to Dream' program was established in 2016 by JUTE to tell the stories of First Nations people for First Nations people. 'I Gut this Feeling' is the latest initiative to come from the 'Dare to Dream' program that aims to educate and entertain audiences through its clever and comical theatre experience. Over the next 5 weeks, this production will tour to five communities on the Cape York Peninsula: Mossman SHS, Weipa W C C, Mapoon, Lockhart State School and Normanton State School. Hamish Sawyer attended the premiere performance in Cairns earlier this month. "Wonderful to attend the premiere performance of ‘Dare to Dream’ at JUTE tonight before it goes on tour to Cape communities - Jam, you’re a star". said Hamish Sawyer, NorthSite Acting Director. Congratulations Jamaylya!
