Building on Santha’s passion for inclusive participation, The VoiceMob Project was the key project Santha delivered in her role as Cultural Development Officer at Yarra Ranges Council. Operating as Project Coordinator, Co-Director and Musical Director, the project brought together singing leaders across Yarra Ranges, and performance improviser Nick Pappas to co-direct, to develop singing and movement repertoire incorporating Auslan, to be shared through accessible workshops and online over a month throughout Yarra Ranges. Performances in public places then took place at festivals, events and venues as diverse as football games, shopping malls and markets.
Santha won Council’s Customer Focus Award for her efforts in delivering this project.
