Rock Surfers’ SUMMER CAMP program presents six weeks of Sydney artist residencies, showings and theatrical orienteering from Jan 27th – March 8th, 2014.

Cantadora is a young, all‐female collaborative group, interested in exploring current issues for women today. Multidisciplinary artists trained at AADA, these girls act, direct, write, design and produce all of their works.
