Fremantle
Markets, restaurants, breweries, bars, history – you’ll find it all in Fremantle. Known for its maritime history, the port city is also home to the Fremantle Prison, which housed convicts from the 1850s to 1991, and the Round House, an 1831 building which also briefly served as a jail. If you’re chasing a good feed, the cappuccino strip is home to numerous Italian restaurants, Mexican joints, and pubs, while the port hosts a brewery and multiple fish & chip shops. If you’re after some local handmade gifts & crafts, a trip to the Fremantle Markets is always great value.

Description
Ngaalang Moort (Our Family) is a compilation of stunning lullabies created by Noongar families in 2020, when the world was turned on its head and we couldn’t all meet together.
CAN took the program online and directly into people’s homes, where these talented participants joined facilitators Charmaine Councillor and Phil Bartlett online to learn the basics of Noongar language and songwriting. Once everyone had their song written and learnt, they recorded their vocals at home ready for final studio production by Charmaine, Phil and sound engineer / musician, Sean Lillico.
The conditions make this album an even more remarkable achievement by everyone involved!
These 15 songs reflect the personal experiences of the people involved. They are a celebration of moort (family), koort (heart), woonya (love) and a legacy for all.
Lullabies is produced by CAN in collaboration with Noongar families and is supported through the Australian Government’s Indigenous Languages and Arts program and the Australia Council for the Arts.

Description
Incy-Wincy Spider gets washed out, the sun comes out and the climb up the water spout starts again. Conflict is inevitable in life, and while sometimes it may be impossible to dissolve externally, it is vital to transcend it through inner strength and resilience. It is not about the fight against it but choosing a direction within it and finding ease, to keep going in the face of adversity. Internal evolution is readily available when limits are challenged and we reach beyond our comfort zone, much like a child learning to walk, succeeding by standing up after falling over constantly. Choreographed by Montserrat Heras and performed with live original music by Jesse Vivante. Presented by: Montserrat Heras What is most essential in my practice is truth, evolution, curiosity, determination, connection and artistry. I believe that artistic development is an infinite journey, in which we are constantly seeking out new tools to fulfil self-actualisation and illuminate new perceptions. For these reasons I have pursued professional development as a contemporary dancer at Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company MASA Program in Israel, Broadway Dance Center Professional Semester in NYC and other programs in Melbourne and around the world. As an emerging young Australian dance artist with also Spanish and Mexican nationalities I aim to create a multifaceted experience for the audience expressing the universality of the human experience. Mild: Shows with broad family appeal and entertainment to suit all ages. Big on fun, low on risk.

~CUP & STRING:
Released on Universal Music, KMS Records, Large Music, Central Station Records, Slime Recordings, Urban Dubz, M2MR.
Cup & String was an idea between two mates in 2015 who share 2 decades of friendship. What started as banter has turned into a duo producing a variety of House Music and UK garage. Coming from two very different musical backgrounds, one half of the duo specialises in nu disco, and the other is part of an international renowned drum and bass outfit. With their varied knowledge and expertise, the two have created their own sound and have charted multiple times in top 10s on Traxsource, Beatport and Juno.
With a string of exciting releases to come the duo will continue to push the boundaries of electronic music with their feet still firmly planted in the underground.
~WYN:
An up and coming producer/DJ in the Perth bass music scene, WYN has been playing hard-hitting and genre diverse sets at major venues almost every weekend since the launch of her project in mid-
2016. Nightclubs Ambar, Capitol, Villa, Flyrite and Jack Rabbits Slim’s, as well as Sets on the Beach, Falls Festival and Listen Out, are just a few of the venues that have played host to WYN’s dark melodic mixes and soul shaking subs. A lover of glitchy beats, soulful vibes and unique sound design, WYN has been knuckling down to work on a series of original productions. Her debut single, 'Never Be', and latest release ‘A Meeting’, part of ProtoCode’s Ascension LP, encapsulate the breadth of musical diversity she has been inspired by, and foreshadows some huge actions to come from the young producer.
