Artmedia News
==================================================
Welcome to the first edition of the Artmedia newsletter for 2003,
a
publication with an Australasian focus and a global perspective.
With this issue we welcome back a sponsor who took a feature
last year, and so have seen the value of internet promotion. If you
want more promotion, or more traffic to your site, try the newsletter
and web-site promotion opportunities presented by Artmedia.
Our sponsor this month is Annie Stainer's Total Theatre School in
Perth, Australia. Total Theatre offers a one-year performance
based course with an emphasis on physical theatre techniques and
the creation of original work.
In Playspace news, I am teaching a clown workshop for young
people next weekend, at the Australian National Institute of
Dramatic Art in Sydney. The NIDA Summer School is a unique
training opportunity, so please pass this information on to young
people who my be interested.
In the networking we have the sad news that Tony Montanaro,
noted mime performer and teacher, has passed away in America.
Also on the international front, we have some current postings on
comedy awards and festivals from Kultnet in Germany and
information on a gig directory in San Francisco, USA.
Here in Australia, Music Theatre Australia seeks information on
roving performers, and the Australian National Circus & Physical
Theatre Conference seeks promotional material to display at the
event in Adelaide. We also have some training courses in
Melbourne, where the Cecil Street Studio is running a 'Summer
Improv Feast' and Showtech Australia are offering rigging courses.
We aim to provide an avenue of communication for the growing
physical theatre community, so please send us info for inclusion in
this newsletter. Please also forward this to somebody else who
may be interested.
==================================================
Alan Clay runs Artmedia Publishing. Alan's novel 'Believers in
Love', is now available through bookshops and on-line stores.
"A powerfully creative work, with prose that sings like poetry.
Beautifully told and evocatively rendered, Believers in Love comes
highly recommended."

Sponsor: Total Theatre School proves a Total Success!
==================================================
Total Theatre offers a one-year intensive performance-based course
with an emphasis on physical theatre techniques and the creation of
original work. The school provides a well-rounded integrated organic
training that prepares students for all forms of theatre.
Twelve students recently completed the first one-year course at
Total Theatre - the Annie Stainer School of Physical Theatre, Perth,
Western Australia. The year includes four production units, classes
with eighteen specialised teachers, and of course, constant and
individual tuition from the great Annie Stainer.
The director, International Performer Annie Stainer, has performed
in ensembles with Lindsay Kemp, David Bowie and Steven Berkoff,
but is best known for her work in solo physical theatre.
"A dancer/mime of exceptional intensity, Annie seems able, like
the genie in the Arabian Nights to change her shape into anything
on earth.." The Guardian, London
Total Theatre is not an institution focused on accreditation and
qualifications. It is a school in the real sense, where committed
students come to learn from master teachers and artists. And they
come from many countries. Already Total Theatre is establishing
itself among the great theatre training opportunities of the world.
All students experience everything - physical training, body/mind
care, writing, stage management, promotion etc. Over the next two
years the school will establish a second year programme that will
establish a trainee company that will perform both in Australia and
overseas.
"Annie Stainer's joyous physical troupe" West Australian
"Students at her school show extraordinary talent" Sunday Times
Student comments after the initial year: "The brilliant uniqueness
of all the teachers that have come through the school so far and of
course the wonderful wisdom of Annie Stainer who teaches from
the level of the unknown - undiscovered."
"I am so happy and grateful that I have had the opportunity to
train with Annie this year. I really believe that this training is going
to provide me with such a rich and wonderful basis for my future
work."
