Schools Performances

Tue, 08 May 2012 22:59:03 +0800

Hi everyone,

I'm co-producing a professional children's theatre production for 2013 and we're taking it into schools (primary school age) in NSW and we already have quite a lot of interest. However I'm aware that there are some hoops we have to jump through in order to be allowed to do this. Does anyone know what these hoops are? I can't seem to find the information anywhere...please help out a fellow theatre person and point me in the right direction.

BAD DREAM - a YouTube rock opera

Tue, 08 May 2012 20:18:36 +0800

HI everyone, I hope you are all well.

It has been a while since I logged in, been a little busy with lots of other stuff.

But back to the show. I have after much door kicking and getting left at the alter by a producer decided to take Bad Dream in to a different realm. I am going to produce it as a YouTube musical. I will filming each scene in a theatrical setting and uploading it to YouTube one or two scenes at a time.

For the love of it.

When The Clock Sritkes

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 03:49:39 +0800

Being raised in a 21st Century, globalised world we are losing sight of the things that matter. We are moving away from community and spirituality and heading for competition and disconnectivity. The little people are becoming smaller. The invention of the Internet and magnitude of its reach has created a void in human communication. People seek gratification from buying things they cannot afford in order to show them off to their friends. When the Clock Strikes, written by Genna Bard looks at the time we have left in the world. The significance we hold as an individual, the little things that appear irrelevant but remain as valuable as ever. Time is uncontrollable. If you had to live your whole life in 24 hours what would you do? When the Clock Strikes demonstrates the boundaries that time holds; the restraints it puts on the individual and the inherent fears people have about fulfilling all their dreams in time. People have become stuck in cycles, daily routines and patterns pre-determined by time. If we were to remove the clocks and live each moment, minute to minute, would this relax our perceptions of time? When Midnight brings three characters together one Christmas, they all have something in common. Fear is gripping them, as they are about to embark upon new chapters in their lives. What can they learn from each other in order to surpass this fear? Midnight is waiting for it to stop…

A Spanking In Paradise

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 03:42:49 +0800

Inspired by events from Writer/Director Wayne Thallon’s childhood, ‘A Spanking in Paradise’ is a dark comedy focusing on a never-before-seen aspect of Edinburgh. Brought to life through an inspirational film-making journey and shot during a bleak Scottish January, it features the very best of established and new on-screen Scottish talent, backed by equally capable and creative production support. The film celebrates a life which, though true, has yet to be acknowledged in any brochure printed about Edinburgh; namely its twenty-odd legal and licensed brothels.
