The Wheat Beats program was developed for young people aged 11-15 in the Wheatbelt and incorporated Australian hip-hop, traditional Aboriginal and contemporary dance, photography, music and digital media.
The project aimed to give young people in Kellerberrin, Quairading, Brookton and Narrogin a way to express their feelings about community life, culture and growing up in the Wheatbelt.
CAN ran a series of Wheat Beats workshops in each town, with a number of leading artists teaching young people new skills in song writing, DJing and scratching as well as dance and acting. The project resulted in production of the students’ own Australian hip-hop songs and music videos.
Be part of a movement that believes community participation in the arts can transform lives, inspire change and create a more inclusive society for us all.
Donations will support creative programs that make a genuine difference to the communities we work with.
