The Australian Theatre Festival is an annual celebration of Australian stories and artists in New York City. Artistic Directors: Mark Barford, Connor Delves, and Jillian Geurts. Hannah will perform ‘Carry You’, by Tim Minchin for the Festival’s inaugural season.
‘Do You Want That?’ is an open letter to our global leaders in 2020. The song was born from the frustration of two NYC-based artists (from Melbourne and Hell’s Kitchen) surrounding the 2019-2020 Bushfire Crisis, and the Australian government’s poor response to the catastrophe. It examines the increasing tangibility of our own extinction, and the helplessness we feel in the face of it.
The Australian Red Cross is working to provide recovery programs and emergency assistance to communities in disaster-affected areas. 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of ‘Do You Want That?’ will go directly towards The Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery fund.
