TiYC - Travel if You Can

Electrofringe 2011 – a performance with projected animation, audio & video interviews, live acoustic and electronic music and sound design.

TiYC is a satirical look at Australia’s international role as a migration nation. The performance animation looks back at the history of the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s Risk Factor List or RFL, first implemented in June 1991 through to it’s latest update in June 2008. In this context the performance presents three stories told by individuals who have migrated to Australia and the conditions under which they did so. The animation and stories are interspersed with acoustic and electronic musical performance, providing a live soundtrack to the on screen narrative.

Performance dates: 6pm, Friday 30th September & 7pm Saturday 1st October
Venue: Black Box Theatre, Newcastle Community Arts Centre, 246 Parry Street, Newcastle.
Contact: ncac@ncac.org.au for more information, or call on (02) 4961 1696
