Conservation, Community & Collective Voices: A Conversation with Jaime Jackett

What does a new moon have to do with conservation, community, co-creativity and music? We answer this interesting and exciting question in this special episode of Collaboratory Conversations featuring Broome-based musician and collaborative artist, Jaime Jackett. Topics explored include:

• The creation and collaborative process behind "The Shorebird Quest", a musical theatre show which celebrates the migratory shorebirds of Roebuck Bay
• Jaime’s co-created musical practice, passion for the power of singing and the recent release of her song “Cradle to Caves”, written and performed in collaboration with her band, Belle Miners, and visitors to a number of Tasmanian national parks
• The importance of having an open-mind and being flexible when approaching or engaging in a co-creative endeavour
