Stories of Love & Hate is a theatre work developed through an extensive interview process with 65 residents from the Bankstown and Sutherland Shire LGAs, revealing the lives and loves of people directly affected by the 2005 Cronulla riots. Sidestepping the media hype and social outrage surrounding the event, the source material for this unique verbatim theatre show came from an extensive community consultation process with the people who were there.
Part of an ongoing collaboration between Urban Theatre Projects and Bankstown Youth Development Service (BYDS), this project supported by Bankstown City Council is an exemplary model of community consultation and cultural development. The pivotal partnership of these organisations with Bankstown City Council, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre and Sutherland Shire Council, ensured access to and the cooperation of local community groups, individuals and organisations. As such, the project developed linkages across business, arts, government, education and community sectors.
