Workshop Description - The first part of the workshop will include a physica l warm up followed by brainstorming activities and discussions; examin ing the media, photojournalism, ethics, moral dilemmas/ compromises and war. The second part of the workshop would focus on creatin g a physica l response to the images, using dramatic story telling techniques with a focus on physica l theatre.

SUNDOWNER

Drama Unit 3, 2011 Playlist

Throug h the eyes of three generations Sundow ner tells the story of so many Austral ian families, using theatrical expression, dance and physica lity. If a loved one starts to lose their memories, what role can we play in holding on to them? And how can we care for them in the present while honour ing their memory?

Sundow ner is a story of lament and at times, grief and sorrow. Ultimately though, it is a story of love: love of family, love of history and love of life.

“Sometimes there’s no scarier place to be than inside your own mind…”

Sebastian is a unpopu lar fifteen-year-old suburba n kid, with an overactive imagination and an obsession with anime and death. His only friend, Claryssa, is an emo Wiccan art-frea k. What starts as just another night drinkin g down at the cricket nets soon gives way to an ecstatic vision that leaves Sebastian unconscious, their friendsh ip left in ruin. And so begins the Passion of Sebastian…
