The Gascoyne has a diverse range of recreational activities.
The region offers a diverse range of both active and passive recreational activities. The superb climate, hot summer and warm winter combined with the natural attractions of the region are enticing for outdoor recreation. Popular activities include surfing, kite boarding, fishing, camping, day outings and boating.
Combining the immediacy of theatre and the visual impact of cinema, this production commemorates the sinking of the HMAS Sydney II in 1941 and its rediscovery in 2008.
Another show to tour, 'Mama Stitch' by Whiskey & Boots, will visit Narrogin, Geraldton and Port Hedland. Each town will host the Mama Stitch artists for two weeks as they collect stories from members of the community, which will be brought to life through original music and verbatim headphone performance.
The State Government remains committed to supporting locally produced performing arts productions to tour regional and remote communities across WA. Playing WA forms part of the State Government's Regional Arts and Cultural Investment Program (RACIP).
Playing WA contributes to the liveability and vibrancy of regional communities as well as developing a sustainable performing arts touring circuit. Increasing the number and variety of performances touring to regional WA not only contributes to fun and entertainment, but also creates local jobs, community connections, and tourism and hospitality opportunities.
The seven funded touring productions showcase the diversity of WA's performing arts industry, ranging from choral music to contemporary dance.
Thank you to the following funding recipients for their commitment to sharing their talent with regional communities:
The next round of Playing WA funding opens on 22 March 2022 for activity commencing from October 2022.
RACIP is administered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
