Last month, Crossroad Arts presented Unlock the City, a major production as part of the Mackay Festival of Arts.
Over the course of three nights in August, performers from Crossroad Arts offered audiences a chance to explore Mackay from a new perspective, revealing both familiar and unfamiliar aspects of the city through their unique storytelling. Supported by Gold Project Sponsor BOLD Architecture and 2024 Artistic Program Sponsor Daly Bay, the production stood out as a fringe event in the festival.
Despite challenging weather conditions, the show enjoyed a sold-out season, bringing to light the city’s hidden stories and featuring a diverse array of artists, including Tchundal Malar Aboriginal Dance Group, Crossroad Arts core performers, Artist in Residence and Ambassadors Charlee Presland, Seb Cali, Tony Moore, Miki Ponting Boyd, Evan Daly and James Hunter.
Crossroad Arts continues to promote Mackay as an inclusive destination, sparking discussions and uncovering unique regional tales.
As Mr. Speaker Josh noted during the show, “Thank you very much Mackay! See you next year for our next show in 2025!”
