THE SILK RAGS PROJECT

​is the combination of 2 works both created whilst the author and composer were undergoing cancer treatments.  The project's aim is to enable community groups to collaborate on a performance to entertain, educate, start conversations, have fun and raise funds for Cancer Research.  We are proud to be authorised by the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) and recognise the contribution of Griffith University in the development of our Audience information handouts.   

​

THE SILK RAGS PROJECT

is currently the subject of a documentary film thanks to 100 Acts of Kindness Films.  Research and narration has been completed and the next production of the project will be featured in the documentary to capture the experiences of cast, crew and audiences.
