Go–Go gets it’s name from a syncopated African drum beat. Go–Go fuses the contemporary and the traditional, African and Australian, exploring identity and belonging through song, dance, drama and comedy. The Go–Go project, founded through Vitalstatistix Theatre Company, is a group of young African leaders from within their communities – innovative and ambitious aspiring actors, singers, dancers, comedians, models and writers. The Port Adelaide Enfield area, where Vitals is based, has the highest proportion of African migrants and humanitarian refugees in South Australia. Needs of this community include literacy and the preservation of culture and language. Go–Go will confront mainstream media images of young Africans, presenting stories of belonging, identity and contemporary issues of concern, exploring stereotypes and asking what it is to be an African Australian.
