Being in the Dream!
A group of approximately 15 intrepid performers braved the crowds at Carnival on Collins on Sunday… roving in pyjamas with pillows and of course flyers. We did follow the leader through the throng, every now and then falling asleep on the tarmac, poles, walls, each other and lightly dreaming, snoring or snuggling. Passers by were certainly amused and then as we woke, we handed out flyers and quite a few had a good giggle at the connection between the sleeping and “The Dream”. Thank you to all the performers and others who helped us hand out over 600 flyers!
Hopefully will pick up some pics from any who were there strolling along not in pyjamas. Someone’s mum had a camera and Dez did come by with his handi cam – so watch this space for the amusement…
To give you a bit of inspiration, please check out our 6 min clip from last year’s production of Romeo and Juliet. … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Es5REo7XGM

We’ve got the start of a set design (thanks Latoya!) and are off and running in a number of areas! Breaking News: Tropical Arts was successful in securing a RADF Grant through Cairns Regional Council – thank you very much! – the professional artists and arts workers employed through this grant will make it possible for more community participation – that means YOU onstage, or someone you love. Why? Because theatre is the answer to everthing…..

Happy New Year
Tropical Arts has kicked off our new year with a meeting of key creatives to brainstorm ideas for our major production. Before we reveal such delightful details (committee meeting pending), it’s great to reminisce about 2011 – Romeo and Juliet – the 5min highlights package is now on youtube – and you can order the DVD for $20 by contacting us through Lyndell at tropical.arts@yahoo.com.au
Stay tuned for our year’s program – workshops, get-togethers, fund raisers, performances and skills sessions….
