You will you be …
1.
Amazed at ASTAD’s
awesome dancers…Be totally absorbed as the tapestry of emotion that
makes us human is celebrated and redefined in this rich dance piece that exudes
confidence and capability in a world of silence. You will find yourself
enraptured in exquisite delight!
2.
Tantalized as TOYS!
transcend reality…Not just for kids…magically these toys come alive and
play with “their” audience - humour and love bring a greater understanding of
life in their world.
3.
Marvelling at MOSAIC’s
majestic movements…Dressed in identical black trench coats, five expressionless
actors dart randomly across the stage. Gripped with fear they find security in
their sameness. So begins Mosaic, an exploration of societal pressure to conform
and the individual's need for freedom. Performed by Quest's international
touring company, Mosaic will touch your soul.
4.
Raving about RAINMAN’s
raincoat… Is it possible for one man to explain love,
loneliness, time and life without saying a word? Max’s
flawless performance of “Rainman” leaves you wondering just how he does and all
with not much more than old raincoat!
5.
Head over heels in love
with HEADS UP! …
This vibrant
& energetic cabaret show combines Auslan (Australian Sign Language), dance,
sign-singing, Aboriginal Dreamtime, an upside-down Shakespearian version of Romeo &
Juliet, improvisation, masks and Deaf culture!
6.
Fascinated by the fabulous
FILMS
…Embrace Deaf culture with a
rollercoaster ride of humour, love, anger, romance, pain, agony and joy.Join
this unique celebration of human emotion and achievement made by the world’s
greatest Deaf film makers and all unveiled at the first ever International Deaf
Film Festival hosted in Australia including a
Short Film Competition – with the theme of “SPORTS”
7.
Comedy
and Moment night - Is there a stand up comedian in you? Can you touch,
move and inspire people? What about
just stand up and share your funniest story? What about your most embarrassing
moment? How about signing them?
It’ll be all hands on deck for two
of the biggest nights of hysterical laughter as we invite members of the deaf
community to come tell their tale!
