Papers of a Dead Man is a new musical work by Linsey Pollak based on poems written by refugees. It has a simple but strikingly strong visual presentation that features the words themselves through a video design by Chris Peckham who also is present in the performance mixing a live camera feed.

The words from eight refugee poets (feat. Mohsen Soltani and Tony Zandavar) are woven into the score and performed through song and spoken word. The score features the sounds of “Lyrebird” (a wind synth) and live looping, Bulgarian influenced singing,  saxophones, virtuosic percussion and wind harps. These elements provide an aurally rich and exciting context for expressing the words of refugees.

The show has been re commissioned to run for a season in 2007.

Gooreng Gooreng Traditional Knowledge Recording Workshops were co-facilitated with with Luke Barrowcliffe from Goorie Vision. The workshops enabled young people from the Bundaberg region of Gooreng Gooreng heritage to an record audio visual document of the areas natural and cultural history.

Over a one week workshop onsite at Thornhill Station nr Miriam Vale Queensland, participants learned how to record traditional knowledge using modern digital techniques. Elders Mervyn Johnson and Mickey Hill told stories and language of the Gooreng Gooreng people that were recorded using High Definition Digital equipment operated by young Gooreng Gooreng people.

Gooreng Gooreng Dancers performed at Agnes Waters and 1770 and each dance was recorded as a part of the workshop. All material collected is now being incorporated into the Gooreng Gooreng Traditional Knowledge Database and has been collated onto a DVD for further educational use.

The workshops were funded by Burnett Mary Regional
Group, Natural Heritage Trust and the Queensland
Government.
