Revitalising www.malak.org.au

After a long lull, this web site will be revitalized by the Malak Network, a network of organizations working with young people in Malak and surrounding areas of the Northern Suburbs of Darwin. Malak Network used this web site's Forums last year but that initiative was hampered by a server crash in March. Its taken a while but the Malak Network has decided to use the site again for communication and discussion. Welcome back, Malak Network!

DCA Activities in November and December 2008

In November Darwin Community Arts (DCA) commence theatre, music, and movement workshops at Sanderson Middle School. The workshops will explore student interests and concerns.

Also in November, DCA will resume the "Our Malak/Connect" digital media workshops at the Malak Telecentro. DCA will be running podcasting workshops with the Multicultural Youth of the Northern Territory. DCA hopes to run video workshops with Melaleuca Refugee Centre and Danila Dilba by December.

After a good Cycle-Logical Festival and Under 18s Dance Party on 1st November, DCA is preparing for the next monthly community gathering for December. The Dance Party is scheduled for 20th December. DCA will hold a street party this month in a cul-de-sac in Malak (to be announced later) rather than having activities in Malak Shopping Centre Car Park (as was the case for the first two events: CulturFest and Cycle-Logical).

There are a few more things in the pipeline for the last months of 2008; watch this space for news.

Cycle-Logical Festival

Plans for the November Malak Community Gathering are under way. The
theme for this event is “Safe Cycling”. On Saturday, November 1st, we
will host a Bike Safety session for al ages. If you don’t have a bike
we will supply one from the pool of donated bikes we are receiving.
After the Bike Safety session, cyclist will cycle around Malak,
accompanied by drummers and other performers. The parade will return to
the car park for more entertainment and refreshments.

We are looking for volunteers to assist with this event. In
particular, we need the support of ‘bike mechanics’ to do safety checks
on the bikes. We are also still looking for bike donations. If you can
assist please contact Nic on 8945 7347 or email: projects@darwincommunityarts.org.au

Malak Telecentro Open on Saturday, 4 October 2008

The Malak Telecentro will be open on Saturday, 4 October 2008, from 2:30 to 4:30 PM.

CulturFest 2008

The Malak Shopping Centre car park and Chambers Theatre came to life Saturday 20th September for the 2008 CulturFest. The afternoon started at a frantic pace with an energetic displaly of Irish dancing performed by the Keltika Irish Dancers. The dancing programme also featured Acholi, Burmese and Cambodian dancers.

Demitrious Magriplis provided a recital of Greek and English poetry and Reggae Dave entertained the crowd with his fine blend of folk/reggae tunes. Local celebrity Ali Mills delivered a humorous and heartfelt welcome from the Larrakia people, and a trio of Karen youth took to the stage to perform an impromptu traditional song.

Neighbourhood watch kept the young ones entertained with their go-karts, while the taste buds were satisfied by Burmese and Congolese culinary delights.

The outdoor cinema featured a locally produced documentary and the 2008 Refugee Film Festival.

My friend and i have chosen to come to the darwin community arts centre with our supervisor Bong. We have only been here for a day and we think it is a great place to be. My friend and I are looking forward to staying here for the next for weeks.
