ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS:

Mitch King is a performing artist, creative producer, and a proud Yaegl & Widjabul Wia-bul man from the Bundjalung nation on the east coast of Australia. His main disciplines are music, theatre, and dance - he loves telling stories through sound, movement and film. Tess Eckert

Tess Eckert is a Scape-artist, expressive arts activist, facilitator, and student of life. That is to say, she is fascinated by creatively exploring the relationship between our diverse inner and outer landscapes via contemporary dance, poetry, sound, and mixed-media. Tess utilises the language of dance/movement and somatic arts for community building, healing, and social justice. Eckert is a descendent of U.S. First Nation’s, German and Swedish ancestors. Having migrated to the Bundjalung Nation/Northern Rivers 12 years ago from the Rocky Mountains of North America, central to Eckert’s collaborations is an investigation of how to create a sense of belonging and connection to our inner and outer worlds, with the aim of opening up possibilities for healthier ways of being, relating and moving.
