On April 7th, 2019, PARACOSMIC rocked the stage at Ability Fest! π Hosted by the awesome Dylan Alcott Foundation & Untitled Group, this one-day festival used music to break barriers and normalize disability. We joined forces with Melbourne's favorite concrete donut, the Coburg Velodrome, to spread love and inclusion.
Our director, Jayson Vu, has an incredible passion for working with people with disabilities. During VCAL, he spent one day a week with Gary, a 24-year-old who couldn't speak and used a wheelchair, at Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre. The bond they formed... indescribable. It was a pure human connection that touched Jayson's heart. Working with remarkable individuals like Gary brings Jayson immense joy.
When the opportunity to be a part of Ability Fest arose, we were over the moon. We had a blast lighting up everyone's world at the festival, and we can't wait to do it again next year! Plus, we're proud to share that 100% of our proceeds went to Dylan Alcott Foundation, supporting young Australians with disabilities β¨
PARACOSMIC contributed $750 to help incredible young individuals with disabilities fulfill their dreams! π
