More Info: this free opportunity is a continuation of 3 initiatives that Willem has initiated here in Cairns over the last 3 years.
I can personally recommend the “Theatre of Exchanges” sessions as being an excellent in-depth opportunity to understand yourself as a performer. It is practical, concentrated, illuminating and a great workout.
The Cabaret Calling sessions are a really terrific opportunity at this moment because many of you are performers in cabaret acts all around town already. Here is a chance to bring your piece, or idea for one, and polish it up, flesh it out or develop it further.
And finally the Meeting of Minds is a very important opportunity for us to become more communicative and collaborative. Many things are happening around the place and we as a community are only haphazardly connected, protective of our patch and working in isolation. Here we can pool our experiences and work together on the big performance picture. Maybe even make some decisions and take serious stock of the situation: venues, opportunities, people, events, etc….
