Saturday 13 March

Everyone has a big idea. An idea that is simmering, ready to explore, develop, write down, sing about, tell, build. Creative North is a curated program of workshops, panel discussions and keynotes with Festival artists that will encourage and support participants to engage with their own ‘big idea’.

Choose your own path through Creative North and find a way to grow and share your idea, or come along to be inspired by others. Sessions will feature some of Tasmania’s finest professional musicians, filmmakers, actors, directors, singers, visual artists, writers and dancers.

Earl Arts Centre is equipped with a hearing loop system. Patrons wishing to use this system should contact the venue directly on 6334 5579

The Corrick family of musicians, orators, singers and picture show presenters toured Australia from 1901 – 1914.

You’ll hear clips from oral history and recital recordings and see some of the fantastic special effects films (now digitally restored and included in the Ten Days on the Island program) as a sample of the broader collection donated to the NFSA by John Corrick (Leonard’s son) and now supervised by Leonard’s grandson, Stewart Corrick.
