Project Broken Shackles is a groundbreaking arts-based initiative that aims to use performance as a powerful medium to address mental health, trauma, and cultural disconnection in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) and Indigenous communities. Rooted in the belief that storytelling through art can be transformative, this project brings together multiple performers from diverse backgrounds to create an emotionally charged, culturally rich performance.
The project is not just about entertainment - it is about healing. Through the fusion of dance, music, and narrative, Broken Shackles seeks to foster social cohesion, promote mental well-being, and build stronger, more resilient communities. It highlights the struggles of marginalized groups, while celebrating their resilience and strength.
This initiative goes beyond the stage. It includes a powerful documentary that will extend the message, capturing the personal stories of the performers and the impact of art in their healing process. At its core, Broken Shackles is a celebration of cultural identity, a bridge between the past and present, and a call to action for communities to come together in solidarity and support.
