My Australian musical discusses themes of drought, mental health, dreams and crucial relationships. \u2018<em>Peak<\/em>\u2019 is the musicals opening number, introducing the audience to the characters, their agendas, the setting and the problems. \u2018<em>Traffic Light Red<\/em>\u2019 is between mother and child discussing the struggles of living with the mental health disorder BPD, caring for someone with it and how communication and love can bring light to dark situations. \u2018<em>Downpour<\/em>\u2019 is primarily between two sisters yet filters in comments of other characters at that moment in time creating a more integrated track. This musical is inclusive of Australia\u2019s historic and present day land and peoples and acknowledges the land on which it was written and is performed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist bio Ella Grace is a singer, songwriter, pianist, trumpist and composer.
