the world's best loved melodies these two will have opera-phobics in
stitches and balletomanes reaching for oxygen. Titles include:- Too Big
For A Ballerina, Opera Plots Are Appalling, Dying In Opera Takes Soooooo
Long and Carmen Get It! Two ballet dancers who learned to sing with
notes that soar and legs that fling, we will amuse!

THE BRINK
A candid and raucous one-and-a-half woman show! A slick, witty hour
spent with a chick and her provocative confidante.
The Brink is a labyrinth of unsettling, hyperbolic, and comical
experiences, at once surprising and yet familiar. A show for anyone
whoís ever looked over the edge, thought better of it, and opted for a
cup of tea instead. Written & directed by Antonia Pont, performed by
Anne Gollan and Sara Mae Libero.

hilarious one man show about avoiding a premature trip to the other
side. There are many exciting ways to kick the bucket. THE ANGINA

DIAL EM AND M FOR MURDER
Direct from the City of Churches oops, murders comes this brutally funny
stand up show!
South Australia's funniest female, Emily O'Loughlin, teams up with comic
book writer turned stand-up comedian, Martin Reilly. Martin is
overwhelmed to be doing a show with a comedic superstar like Em
O'Loughlin - sure, she's mean to him - but aren't all superstars a bit
temperamental?
All she wants is $1, 000, 000 and a show of her own . . . All he wants
is not to be axed . . . and to work for Steven Spielberg!

THE STACKHAT IMPERATIVE
The final sorry chapter in the guerrilla comediocre trilogy . . .
Advertising pays for the programs you watch. Advertising is about
choice. Without advertising, you would be living in a cave and eating
slugs. So letís all hold tightly to our genitals as we pay tribute to
the soldiers of fortune behind TV ads! MEET! the morally and
intellectually bankrupt maniacs who churn out wood-heater ads. SEE! how
you are sucked in to their schemes to sell you total crapola. GNASH!
your teeth as they face the final assignment which may bury us all. A
mix of slapstick, music, video and fierce satire you can be assured that
this is one trilogy that is going out with a bang!

FEVER - presented by Melbourne Workers Theatre
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Where does the FEVER of the nation burn hottest?
FEVER aims to uncover aspects of our society that are complex, difficult
and painful to comprehend. It is vital that we count the cost of current
behaviour,
explore the darker nature of our past and call to account those who are
responsible. FEVER pushes beyond the boundaries of realism, staking out
its territory in another direction entirely; one that uses allegory,
epic theatre, surrealism and music-theatre to investigate the burning
issues of race, class, culture and environment.
Written by Andrew Bovell, Patricia Cornelious, Melissa Reeves , Christos
Tsiolkas. Directed By Julian Meyrick
Performed by David Adamson, Rodney Afif, Tony Briggs, Daniela Farinacci,
Eugenia Fragos, LeRoy Parsons & Pauline Whyman
The New Ballroom

ARTS LAW 2002
Fight for your right to Party - Party for your right to Fight
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Art as activism: whose protest is it? Community/collective art: whose
art is it? Art and charge: who are artists? Art and public space: whose
art is it? Art and
capitalism: will artists survive? Who owns culture? Who shapes the laws
that effect it? Why has art suddenly become dangerous? (Wasn't that
always the
point?) What is an artist anyway?
Arts Law Week is a FREE programme of essential legal information for
Melbourne's new and emerging arts practitioners and anybody interested
in the myriad issues of art law. This year's programme aims to be more
accessible and inclusive by framing specific arts/legal issues within a
broader discussion about the laws of creativity in 2002.
Closing night drinks at the Trades Hall Bar - Party for your Right to
FIGHT! Wind down after the information overload, connect with your arts
community,
check out creative displays, pick up legal info, network with lawyers,
snacks available, drinks at bar prices.
Closing night drinks at Trades Hall Bar
from 6pm, Friday September 20th
FREE Event
