Those in Dandenong who enjoy new theatrical experiences can see a piece of Australian theatre that meshes recent cultural history with the legacy of Motown, as the show makes its debut.
The work has been created by Giovanni Adams, a playwright and actor, born in Mississippi and now living and working in Melbourne, having recently starred as Ike in TINA, The Tina Turner Musical.
Moving to Australia from America, Adams said that he was able to find comfort from the sounds of Motown playing in local cafes. This led him to reflect on what it means to be an immigrant, the civil rights movement and how it feels to belong. Using well-known songs such as What’s Going On, Ain’t No Mountain High and Dancing in the Street, Adams has compiled an uplifting story that celebrates the power of soul music as a means of breaking down barriers.
Local Print shops are often a one stop shop for events that need to produce advertising within the community.
