NARRANDERA
The Cad Factory has spread its wings out to the harsh drought reality of rural NSW.Later in the year the old Cad Factory schoolhouse will open outside of Narrandera. It is remote. It is remote. Have we said that enough? It is remote. It is an open 2 acre space with an old original school house built in 1888.
The Cad Factory will slowly open this space up for artist residencies, the odd little music festival and you know, if you want to hang out there to do something, you can just let us know.
Over Easter 2008 we conducted our first workshops in Narrandera. This involved members of Shopfront Theatre for Young Peope, and a 5 day development for their major production Lost Toy Stories.
In 2009 we will announce our residency program.
Did you know that just near Narrandera there are Rice Fields? In drought stricken NSW we have water dependant rice fields.
Did you know that in Narrandera they process all sewage within the town and are creating wetlands all around the town with this processed water.
Did you know that Narrandera was settled by the "Squatacracy"? Land was given to squatters who over the last hundred odd years have developed large holds of land through generations.
Did you know that members of the community of Narrandera have embraced the ideas of The Cad Factory and are looking forward to a bunch of people spending time there doing ... stuff.
Yes it's true.
.... More to come.
