Our inaugural festival.  Our birth.  Genesis.  The beginning of this wildly exciting journey.

We gathered at Burrinja.
We wrote a note to stranger.
We stumbled through the unknown together.
As the first iteration of hillsceneLIVE, none of us knew what to expect.

We emerged, politically, personally and positively charged.

Friday June 6th, 2014.  This thing is born.

Thank you to our partners...
hillsceneLIVE acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia, on which we live, create, and play. We acknowledge the long history of performance and art making that is embedded in the Dandenong Ranges and the in history of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was. Always will be. Aboriginal land.
