“I’m a child of the revolution”
Theatre as protest, storytelling as weapon. Fifty two years since the inception of Black Theatre - the subversive art form that spoke back to the colony and incited the beginning of community controlled services; resonates to this day. We’re so honoured to be speaking with Angeline Penrith, the creative director and curator of Redfern Renaissance. Angeline is a Wiradjuri & Yuin actor and story teller, a proud Redfern local and from a trailblazing family of activists and storytellers.
