On a recent Red Dust program, the community of Wadeye embarked on a week long project that would lead to the creation of a new music video and song. The creative journey drew together talent, passion, and a shared love for music and dance. The result was not only a music video but a testament to collaboration and community spirit.  

‍

Creating a music video from the ground up, the project was a deep dive into the world of musical storytelling. This process involved everything from drafting up the lyrics that reflected the spirit of Wadeye, crafting a harmony of sounds to accompany the words, and choreographing dance moves that resonated with the group.  

‍

The journey through the week was marked by activities that connected the community.  

• The Youth Hub: this became a meeting point after school, where kids congregated to participate in games and helped out on the music video.

• Red Dust Mural: a previous program’s masterpiece, the mural served as a colorful backdrop for the video and was a beautiful reminder of the projects the community has achieved this year.  

• Afternoon Sports: when the kids weren’t busy creating magic for the music video, they were playing sport!  

• The Wadeye Pool: Here, the kids practiced their swimming and showed off their skills. Check out the final music video to see if you can spot the pool!

On the final day of programming, the whole school gathered to witness the premiere of the music video. A product of a week's collaboration, creativity, and hard work. The music video captures the true strength of creative collaboration, showcasing how music and dance can become a universal language.

‍

It stands as a reminder of what can be accomplished when hearts, minds, and talents unite with a singular purpose...to create something extraordinary.
