Help get Beth to Belgium!

Hi, My name is Beth Gibson and I’ve been selected to be a part of a small company with the Experimental Theatre Collective going to Belgium to perform a devised physical theatre piece called The Ground Remembers Us at as Antwerp’s World Children’s & Youth Performing Arts Festival from the 21st - 30th of August. I will need help affording for flights from Christchurch, New Zealand to London, England and for a train from England to Belgium. We will also be travelling to Ypres, a significant site in New Zealand history, to perform at the Flanders Fields museum.

This is an incredible opportunity for me to experience performing to a wider audience, and also learn more about NZ’s connection to the Western Front and the impact of WWI which is the topic of our performance. 

In total, this will cost $5,000 which I am hoping to raise through different means of fundraising and applying for grants.
