First on the Ladder: Shopfront (Part of the Yirramboi Fest)

First On The Ladder combines the arts from Polyglot Theatre together with sports practiced by kids from a local club to cultivate imagination and self-expression and to celebrate the vibrant community centred around Rumbalara.

Audiences of all ages can get involved in the exciting First On The Ladder project as shopfronts on Chapter House Lane are transformed into a beautifully curated exhibition of art, video and sound works. Pop by to watch and a screening of the Because Of Her We Can film clip and Yakama Rumba animation created by children of the club.
