John Gollings is regarded as Australia’s foremost architectural photographer. He has sought exact local sites to rephotograph as a modern day comparison that will inform students’ understandings of the rapidly changing landscape of the Gold Coast - in terms of urban design, art photography and social and cultural relationships, as expressed through the lived ‘street experience’.

By George Orwell adapted & created by shake & stir theatre co Originally produced in association with QPAC

Animal Farm, one of the most controversial and studied political commentaries arrives in a brand new production combining physical theatre and storytelling.

Two sets of identical twins are separated at birth when they’re rescued from a shipwreck. And when they end up in the same shifty, transitory port‐town of Ephesus fully grown, we join them on their bizarre journey of reconciliation. As they collide unknowingly with each other’s friends and family, it’s not long before this absurd tale of mistaken identity and far‐fetched coincidence unfolds in chaotic hilarity.

Each year since, The Centre has produced and QTC have directed a selected text based piece of theatre with the emphasis being on engaging the best possible Director to guide the cast toward extension and excellence In 2010 under the direction of Jason Klarwein Oh,The Humanity and other Exclamations! a Will Eno play was extremely successful and critically acclaimed by audience goers.

In 2011, Jennifer Flowers directed the project, assisted by The Centre’s Artist in Residence, Monette Lee. The Good Doctor by Neil Simon was an incredibly funny and well received piece.

In 2012 under the direction of Andrea Moor and assisted by Artist In Residence Jessica Westhead the Gold Coast’s young actors had the opportunity of auditioning for a role in the heartbreaking story of Eyes To The Floor by Alana Valentine.

The 2013 Youth Theatre Project will be an equally powerful experience for young pre professional actors looking to extend themselves and place themselves under the professional direction of Queensland Theatre Company within the walls of The Gold Coast’s own Arts Centre.
