about

Simon Walsh - Sound Design / Composition / Music for THE STARS DESCEND by Annette Carmichael Projects: a five-chapter & location large-scale dance and sound collaborative creation along the Gondwana Link in South Western Australia. This first chapter takes place in the open, on Wadandi country on 17 March 2023 at Wooditchup ( Margaret River ), with a cast of close to 40 volunteer community dancers and 2 professional lead dancers.

The Gondwana Link is reconnecting country across South-Western Australia, from the wet forests in the southwest corner to the dry woodlands and mallee bordering the Nullarbor Plain, in which ecosystem function and biodiversity are restored and maintained.

‘Gondwana Link is the most exciting thing that is happening in restoration in Australia, if not the world.’
Professor Richard Hobbs, University of Western Australia
