Another wonderful Morning Concert at ManPAC! 🎶

Little Belle brought the Boardwalk Theatre to life with a joyful set of 50s and 60s classics, getting audiences dancing and grooving along despite the winter chill outside.

Our youth theatre was fortunate to receive professional mentorship last week, working with choreographer Paulina Quinteros of Danza del Arte Paulina and her company visited Mandurah to present Water Mirror and generously offered our performers the opportunity to work directly with her and members of the cast.

We are deeply grateful to Paulina and the company for sharing their time and expertise. As the images show, the workshop was filled with energy, playfulness, and laughter.

This experience provided a valuable development opportunity for our young performers, who explored physical performance skills, developed movement motifs, and deepened their understanding of ensemble work. Collaborating with professional artists and makers is a real privilege, and at ManPAC we are proud to be able to offer these inspiring opportunities to our youth theatre members.

Martin Phillips: The Human Footprint in Society Exhibition Launch 🎨

Mandurah Performing Arts Centre was thrilled to host the opening of Martin Phillips’ vibrant new exhibition, supported by The Community Bank Halls Head. The event brought together fellow artists, community members, and Midway Community Care staff to celebrate Martin’s incredible work.

Martin’s practice is full of surprises—detailed embroidery collaged onto painted and dyed fabrics, found objects, marks made with his feet, and one of his favourite materials, BondCrete, adding texture and glossy shine across fabrics and frames.

“Art is relaxing, I go into another world,” Martin shared, showing how creativity helps him explore and process life. He hopes one day to create a space where others can do the same.

At ManPAC, we’re proud to showcase local artists and celebrate the creativity that enriches our community. And with Martin already planning his next project, we can’t wait to see what comes next!
