===================================================
Welcome to another edition of the physical theatre newsletter from
Artmedia in Sydney, a publication with an Australasian focus and
a global perspective, now reaching over 7,000 subscribers.
We apologise to anyone one who has been experiencing
problems with our site, or our e-mail, in the past week, as our
service provider has undergone maintenance, and we ask you
to please re-send any mail which has bounced from our mailbox.
In Playspace news, a wonderful mix of students has produced
some interesting performance work in our Circus and Clown
training, and we invite those in Sydney to a viewing of 'work in
progress' at the studio this Tuesday, 14th May, at 8pm. More
information below, together with enrolment information for those
interested in joining this course in Semester two.
In the networking we have a festival theme, including an overview
of European Festivals starting in June from the Euro-Festival Info
Centre, and a request from the city of Salzburg in Austria, seeking
'brilliant cabaret performances' to awaken the Old Town from 'its
long and cultureless sleep'.
We also join with New Zealand to celebrate the launching of the
first Auckland Festival for over twenty years, with a management
team who say they 'believe it is time on the cultural front, that
Auckland started doing something international', and I might add,
so does everyone who has had anything to do with the arts in
Auckland in recent years. We wish them well.
In Artmedia site news, we have new information on the Glasshouse,
a London-based performance duo, and we encourage you to take
some time to browse the site as we are constantly updating all the
pages. This month Sydney Aerial Theatre have new photos of their
performance work from the Adelaide Fringe.
Thank you for reading Artmedia Physical Theatre News. Please
also forward this to somebody else who may be interested.
We aim to provide an avenue of communication for the growing
physical theatre community worldwide, so please send us
information for inclusion in this newsletter. Details of our web-site
and newsletter advertising deals are at the bottom of this page.

Viewing of Circus and Clown Performance Work-in-Progress
A wonderful mix of students, and strong commitment, have
combined to produce some very interesting performance work in
the first Semester of this year's Circus and Clown training, and we
invite those in Sydney to a viewing of 'work in progress' at the
studio (18a Enmore Rd, Newtown) this Tuesday 14th May at 8pm.
There is no charge for this event, as we need a friendly audience
as part of the training process, but please RSVP by replying to this
e-mail, or come early to ensure a place, as these evenings are
usually very popular.
Circus and Clown training 2nd Semester - 30th July - 3rd Oct
A limited number of places are available in the second semester
of this years Circus and Clown training, running for ten weeks on
Tuesday and Thursday each week, 10am to 4pm. Students are
joining a group with an established working practise, so a
professional approach and previous experience is required.
$900 earlybird ( by June 15 ) $1000 full ( by start of course ) or
$500 deposit and two payments of $350 ( = $1200 ).
To enrol e-mail play@artmedia.com.au with a little background
on your work, training, or experience.
Clown Masterclasses
The key to clown is playfulness. We can all play, although we often
loose the ability as we get older. If we are lucky, we replace it with
exploration, but where play is directed to the joy of the activity itself,
exploration involves mapping out possibilities.
As we advance with our theatre practise, our successful patterns
often trap us into not taking risks and therefore not growing in our
work. This Masterclass program has been created to provide an
advanced platform for the development and practise of clown
skills. Some students with no experience will also find this course
suitable, simply by releasing themselves to the process.
Winter Clown Masterclass
15, 16, 22, 23, June 2002, 10am to 4 pm, (two weekends)
$500, earlybird (before May 15) $700 (full)
Summer Clown Masterclass
23, 24, 30 Nov, 1st Dec 2002, 10am to 4 pm, (two weekends)
$500, earlybird (before October 23) $700 (full)
e-mail play@artmedia.com.au for information and enrolment.

"Believers in Love, the third offering by quirky Australian novelist,
Alan Clay, is about love, laughter and life. A novel of journey and
self-discovery."
"Sax is exhausted from lack of sleep, and hiding from the vast
whirl of experience. Then one day he meets Zoe and takes his
daughter Sarah to Bondi beach to build a sand castle. Both
events change his life."
"Sax and Sarah are discovered on Bondi beach and whisked
off to build a sandcastle for a festival in New Zealand. An
adventure which seems set to launch them on equally exciting
adventures, along with Zoe and Adam, the festival organiser."
"The story is liberally interspersed by anecdotes taking an
alternate look at life, sometimes from the point of view of the
bookÂ’s characters, other times from beyond, but always with a
depth which gives pause to the reader, before the story
continues."
"This is not just a story; it is an exploration of emotion and
philosophy."

"The first Auckland Festival in over 20 years will open on January
25, 2003, and run for three weeks. Auckland is New Zealand' s
biggest city, and the management team believe it is time on the
cultural front, that Auckland started doing something international.
'We want to stimulate Aucklanders, enthral them, and challenge
them', says Marie Adams, artistic director with Mike Mizrahi of the
Auckland Festival. 'We've not only to find things that we love which
reflect our vision of what good contemporary work looks like, is has
to be available, affordable and groups have to want to fly to the
other side of the world to present it'. Mizrahi and Adams hope to
foster collaborations between local and foreign artists, including
master-classes. 'The cultural programme will be out of the ordinary,
reflecting Auckland' s character as a young, vibrant and multi-
cultural city. A festival' s not about doing the same things that are
already happening but to providing new opportunities for cultural
exploration and challenge'." Find this link under Festivals at
