What did the Bago Magic have done after the Mambo Italiano late that year?

In September, Year 2004 the Bago Magic Performance Group hosted a clowning workshop which attracted a number of interested people from the community. Bago Magic Performers next performed at Wauchope's Community Spirit Dinner on the Friday, the 8th of October 2004. This performance conveyed a message that people with disabilities are like any one else and dream of acceptance and equality. On the Sunday, the 7th of November Bago Magic Performance Group performed again, this time at the 2004 Discoverfest where they used their clowning skills to roam through the crowd interacting and presenting skits. This was followed by a short main-stage performance.

The group received funding from the Department of Aging, Disability and Home Care and Accessible Arts, to participate in International Day of People with a disability celebrations across the nation on the 3rd of December 2004. Using the clowning skills and roaming theatre once again, the group entertained through the streets of Wauchope, informing the community about international Day of People with a disability. The invited the community to listen to their message following the them "Don't Dis My Ability"

That's when I was acting as Robby The Robot as my clown character.
