18:30 hours 08:12:99 Pulcinellas Invade the Green Olive
It's all happening underground at Citrus and The Green
Olive Ristorante. The infamous and loveable Pulcinellas are
serenading our guests with songs of love, food and ... lots
of champagne. This special Pulcinella Club launch is lots
of fun. Thanks to Citrus & The Green Olive Ristorante for
the delicious 'al fresco' meals. Welcome to all our new
Friends and sponsors!
Revived from Fest West Celebrations, the Pulcinella's have
also been seen stuffing olives with Rosa Matto at Carrick
Hill's annual Olive Festival ... now roaming the streets of
Adelaide thanks to the financial support of the City of
Adelaide. This travelling troupe has also embraced
(literally!) audiences at the Central Market, Rundle Mall,
National Youth Week and the recent Festa della Repubblica
held at Le Marche Club by the Council for Italians Abroad.
09:00 hours 18:01:00 Welcome Noni
New staff member, Noni Watts enters the office for her
first day at work. Noni has replaced Yati as the
Administration Officer. It's time to learn new faces and
new names!
18:00 hours 28:02:00 Jamming at the Cargo Club
The weather is hot and steamy which raises the temperature
in the upper level of the Cargo Club. Tao is sweeping the
floor, Richard is tidying and levelling the sand, and the
musicians are tuning their instruments. Noni is folding
paper fans to keep the performers and audience members cool
and Peter is sweating profusely over the lighting with ger(-
)manic muttering. Its performance time of "The Last Child"
and everyone is excited.
Audience feedback: "It's raw and emotional"; "Libby was
amazing, she's a diva. It was great to see musicians
constantly feed off each other"; "I like seeing people get
shaken up artistically. I liked the fact that when you sat
down you didnOt know what to expect".
There were mixed reactions from audience members towards
the work. It seems they either loved the work or hated it!
All in all, ticket sales were a success and we managed to
double our expected box office income as people squashed in
like sardines to watch the performances.
15:45 hours 28:02:00 Presenting Australia's Diversity
The Australian Performing Arts Market arrives in Adelaide
again. There are so many people attending this event;
producers, performers, directors, artists and promoters. It
was interesting for Serafina and Noni to meet and speak
with so many people from different companies and countries.
13:00 hours 18:05:00 Flight IAI
There is movement within the Italian Community. People are
talking, discussing the future and looking at the past.
Teresa is part of a forum with Melina Marchetta, Anna Maria
Dell'oso and Maria Pallotta Chiarolli. It's the inaugural
meeting of the Italian Australian Institute.
11:00 hours 03:06:00 Tracks to Singapore
It's hot at Clifford Pier, Singapore. The performers are
drinking copious amounts of water and eating tropical
fruits in the makeshift dressing room which doubles as a
shop front. They have just finished a performance of
'Tracking Time' and are about to go on stage again. We have
read a review in the Singapore Business Times describing
the performance as, 'Interesting, weird, harrowing but
extremely enjoyable ... One was constantly kept on edge
during the performance. From the haunting soprano of the
tramp to the lilting song of the business man, the
electrified air of tension never let up".
Tonight we will be taking out for drinks the six visual
artists, Tang Mun Kit, Tan Teng Khoon, Margaret Tan,
Lawrence Tio, Helen Lindon and Tay Bee Aye, who
collaborated with us and designer James Coulter, to
contribute to the performance installation.
17:00 hours 06:06:00 Benvenuta Rita
What a bundle of energy! We welcome Rita as the new
Travelling Pulcinella Troupe Manager ... she's eager to
take your calls for bookings!
WATCH OUT FOR:
Our new online work focussing on the notion of distance.
Special forums and workshops to be held during October
