Favourite songs underscoring fabulous stories.
Stories of people and their connection to Coolum.
Joyous, Heartbreaking, Mischievous, Hilarious.
Music to match the sentiment of the story. Sentiment indivisible from its musical score.
The Playlist is a place-based performance work centred on the songs of Coolum and the stories that connect them to the community.
Throughout 2022, our collectors have been out and about gathering songs and associated stories that local residents relate to their Coolum experience — a favourite piece of music that connects them to place.
From this a playlist of almost 60 songs was compiled — you can listen to the entire playlist here. Then a selection of songs and stories were selected and have been crafted into a one-hour immersive theatrical experience combining live music, video projection, visual art, and spoken word.
