Some years ago when I was a student at KAFF Theatre Skills I remember a wonderful voice teacher who was trained at NIDA named Mattie Porges. It couldn't be the same Mattie by any chance?


Yes, the one and the same.

Yes, the one and the same. She married a Canadian about 10 years ago and has lived there since.

Cheers,
Craig

Indeed it is! I remember Mattie saying she was seeing a Canuck and was moving there, wasn't 100% sure though. Her workshops were a joy to do and I still use some of the warm up techniques. If they were good back in '97 they should be worthwhile in 2009 Smiling

The Theatre on Chester (Sydney) presents
The Servant of Two Masters


Written by Carlos Goldini. Re-Written by Nick Enright and Ron Blair.

Carla Moore

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
