Even more info about Shockwave
The multi-award winning Shockwave Festival forms part of a creative skills development program working with young people aged 10 to 25 from throughout Central Western Queensland.
Shockwave aims to build young people’s skills in event management, production, marketing and creative arts such as visual art and installation, music, dance, theatre, photography and film.
The festival also fosters regional cohesion and further exploration into new employment pathways in Central Western Queensland for young people.
Shockwave was conceptualised by program participants in 2008 and is planned and delivered each year by a core team of young people living in Central West Queensland, in collaboration with Human Ventures.
