Don Rusell Performing Arts Centre
Mon, 2 Apr 2001, 04:15 pmGreetings to all
I am currently undertaking a review of the Don Russell perf Arts centre in Thornlie / Gosnells for the City of gosnells.
Basically i am interested in any thoughts / views / suggestions you have about the DRPAC. Its obvious that this venue straddles a couple of areas, being Perfromming Arts, community arts, community theatre, community access, class and workshop facilities and so-on. The areas that i am looking at are as follows:
1. establishing the purpose of the DRPAC and placing it within the greater community facilities of the City of Gosnells
2. Alternatives to the current mode of operation and management of the centre
3. the placement of DRPAC within the professional and amateur theatre communities.
Obviously these last two points have some relevance to users of these pages.
Anyway i welcome all thoughts and am willing to disscuss the overall thrust of the document when its prepared. i should stress that it is up to the City of Gosnells if the actual document is for public consultation or not.
i can be contacted by replying to this, or directly at skunkworks@wafringe.com.au, or on 0413 751 552.
For those of you wondering who the hell i am, i am currently the director of the WA Fringe festival, previously i ran The blue room Theartre,... i have just finished being a theatre fund member of the Australia Council,... I am not an arts consultant!
For those that still do not know who i am i am sorry but i cannot waste more space.
Cheers

Hi Grant,...
well in answer to your ?'s :
# to be honest i am not going to "recommend" any one thing, i am possibly gong to put forward a number of proposals that will more than likely range from a continuation of the current style of management, to a proposal for direct management through council,... and everyting in between.
I think that the "report" will ultimately ask for a decision to be made in regards to the best use of the venue, be it performing arts / community arts &c.
In regards to the OzCo thing, i think tha answer would be yes,.. and i am continually surprised that WA doesn't get more aggressive in these areas,... in theatre alone, there is no decertralised theatre group, no major youth theatre oraganisation outside of Albany (yet),.. so yes,.. i do see DRPAC having ssome value there,.....
Cheers back,...
