August 2008

 THE NATIONAL THEATRE DRAMA SCHOOL

Adult Short Courses

Acting 1 (12 Weeks) Commencing August 6th

If you’ve completed the Intro course or done some acting basics elsewhere you’ll probably be ready to move to the next level. Acting 1 starts with improvisation and self-devised work before moving on to basic text analysis and rehearsal techniques. The focus here is on developing greater confidence in performance and discovering further techniques to allow fuller, uninhibited imaginative responses.

Wednesday 7:30pm – 9:30pm
6th August to 22nd October

Acting 2 (12 Weeks) Commencing August 17th

Acting 2 is primarily a scene-study workshop. It assumes that you have some performance experience and are interested in developing your ability to interpret and utilise text and to finesse your acting skills. Participants may decide to work towards a workshop performance for an invited audience in the last week or so of the course.

Sunday 2:00pm – 4:00pm
17th August to 2nd November

2008 victorian

state schools spectacular

With 200 Victorian government schools, some 2500 students and over 5000 costumes, the Victorian State Schools Spectacular is one of the largest and most breathtaking performances in Australia.

The 2008 spectacular ‘Made in Australia” is a celebration of all things Australian. From the outback to the sea, the bush to bustling cities, the hum of crickets to the crack of a cricket bat… it’s time to get together and celebrate all the things we love about our home, Australia.

We “tune in” to some of the most memorable songs and music that have become a soundtrack to our Australian way of life, performed by over 2000 talented musicians, singers and dancers from Victorian government schools. Our Aussie musical landscape is as diverse as the land and its people. Where else would you hear anything from Kylie to the Oils, from “Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport” to “Tenterfield Saddler”?

Come with us and celebrate all the beauty, the joy, the passion, the enterprise and the humour Australia has to offer. "Made in Australia" is home grown, 100% Australian made and truly spectacular.

The Full Monty

Phoenix Theatre Company Inc presents…

THE FULL MONTY

Music and Lyrics by DAVID YAZBEK 
Book byTERRENCE MCNALLY

Based on the Motion Picture Released by Fox Searchlight Pictures
and Written by Simon Beaufoy

by arrangement with Hal Leonard Australia Pty Ltd Exclusive agent for

Music Theatre International (NY)


Directed by Craig Maloney & Renee Maloney
Musically Directed by Kurt Abell
Choreographed by Melissa Trickey

Six unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York, who devise a daring way to make some quick cash. Inspired by watching their wives "passion" for the "Girl's Night Out" they decide to put together their own show!! During this journey, they find renewed self-esteem, the importance of friendship and the ability to have huge amounts of fun in a repressed economic and social climate.

As the guys work through their fears, self-consciousness, feelings of uselessness and anxieties – dealing with everything from being overweight to child custody, bigotry to being gay – they discover that not only are they stronger as a group, but that the strength they find in each other gives them the individual courage to face their respective problems and overcome them.

There is enormous heart to THE FULL MONTY and the real themes expressed in the show, about taking charge of one's life and following one's dreams – which are indeed, great lessons for all of us!!!
