SUNDOWNER
Drama Unit 3, 2011 Playlist
Throug h the eyes of three generations Sundow ner tells the story of so many Austral ian families, using theatrical expression, dance and physica lity. If a loved one starts to lose their memories, what role can we play in holding on to them? And how can we care for them in the present while honour ing their memory? Sundow ner is a story of lament and at times, grief and sorrow. Ultimately though, it is a story of love: love of family, love of history and love of life.
DETAILS - Thursday 19th - Saturday 21st April, 8pm - Saturday 21 April, 1pm - The Playhouse - 75 minutes - $15.00 per student Check out the workshop on page 8

By Declan Greene Theatre Studies Unit 4 Playlist
“Sometimes there’s no scarier place to be than inside your own mind…” Sebastian is a unpopu lar fifteen-year-old suburba n kid, with an overactive imagination and an obsession with anime and death. His only friend, Claryssa, is an emo Wiccan art-frea k. What starts as just another night drinkin g down at the cricket nets soon gives way to an ecstatic vision that leaves Sebastian unconscious, their friendsh ip left in ruin. And so begins the Passion of Sebastian…

Have you ever thought that you would like to get more out of your visit? Well now you have the opportu nity to build your own backsta ge tour experience. Add a Theatre Technician to talk you throug h the complexities of OH & S or give you an insight into the technical components of theatre making. Add a sound and lighting demonstration. Add a drama workshop based upon a chosen theme. Add a drama performance or a puppet making demonstration. All this and more is possible. Tours can take place all year round; however, this is dependent on what is happen ing within the theatre spaces and the availability of staff. Cost: Basic tour is free Costs will apply to certain activities.
