ARCTIC RHYTHMS Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky
Tom Vincent is one of Australia’s leading jazz musicians. With a passion for spontaneous modern creations, rooted in the tradition of blues and swing, he has performed to rave reviews around the world and lived in New York, Amsterdam and France. Now based in Hobart, he is still in great demand and continues to tour for special events and festivals internationally.
Experience the Polar Regions as never before through the eclectic artistry of composer, author, musician, and National Geographic 2014 Emerging Explorer Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky. Long a legend in the hip hop world as a master turntablist, Miller is a sonic artist who hears music in almost everything; from visual forms and economic theory to the great outdoors.
With Leigh Barker on double bass and Alf Jackson on drums, the Tom Vincent Trio are a tight ensemble with a formidable synergy that results in a highly polished improvisatory response to classic jazz standards. This Spiegeltent performance kicks off their 2015 Australian tour following the release of their recent Night Sessions LP.
In December 2007 and January 2008, Miller undertook an expedition to Antarctica to shoot a film and create an acoustic portrait of the rapidly changing continent. This led to his celebrated book The Book of Ice, being published in 2011 and the album Of Water and Ice in 2013. Then, in summer 2014 and sponsored by the environmental organisation Sierra Club, Miller took a trip to the Arctic Circle that inspired the second volume of music, Arctic Rhythms. With this Spiegeltent performance Miller, accompanied by a violinist and a cellist, will create an evocative multimedia trip to the Arctic landscape for the audience, juxtaposing images with live and recorded hip hop, electronic, and minimalist music to create an unforgettable experience.

THE CHIPOLATAS GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD
After touring the globe for over two decades, world-renowned performers The Chipolatas finally land in the Hobart Spiegeltent with their universally acclaimed show Gentlemen of the Road. Transcending trends, capturing hearts and crossing boundaries, these three actors/musicians/clowns work seamlessly together in a celebratory performance where circus meets theatre and live music. Gentlemen of the Road is a story without words – moments of inspired stillness, physicality and dynamism, rhythmic squeezebox, breakbeats and ballads, wit and charm - performed with impeccable timing. For this dynamic family of entertainers the journey has no destination, the journey is a celebration! Welcome one and all. Sit down and enjoy the show.

Duration 1 hour
Written by Finegan Kruckemeyer, Boats is classic storytelling with skilful physical performance. The audience experiences the world transformed around them using everyday objects found in a boat’s galley. Each scene is a unique and highly inventive use of space and puppetry; a boat is made from a piece of bread; an island is made from a hat; a circus is made from a jacket and a storm is made in a teacup. Winner of the 2012 Helpmann Award: Best Presentation for Children, Boats is a moving story with a twist at the end which will leave a lump in your throat and a smile on your face.
This is an entrancing hour in the theatre for five and ups and a pleasure for adults, too. Sydney Morning Herald Terrapin Puppet Theatre is assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, and through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.
Dates Sun 8 March, 3pm Mon 9 March, 1pm & 3pm
