Ltd. Main Theme Minou’s Theme Judith Let The Fates Decide The Riot Children Without Tears Batu Caves Whispering Knives Love Theme Sacrifice For The Refugees Homecoming Live music: Live music turns up in the film a number of times. A couple of examples: Composer Chris Neal: Chris Neal was very active during the 1980s and 1990s as a composer for film and television, having begun with the electronic score for the computer thriller Crosstalk in 1981. He then moved through a diverse range of films, including the second world war Rebel, the “mateship” comedy Buddies, and telemovies such as Double Sculls and Archer. In 1985 and 1986 he worked with director George Ogilvie on the 1985 'issues' film Short Changed, and then on the 1986 The Place At The Coast. Around this time he also worked on David Baker’s ill-fated Niel Lynne and the almost equally ill- fated Bullseye, with both films facing the same limited and erratic distribution as did Around The World in 80 Ways. (The work Neal did for the engaging 1983 Buddies also had a limited audience). This didn’t necessarily reflect on the composer’s work - the music in Around The World in 80 Ways is light and lively - but it does suggest the difficulties some films faced scoring space on theatrical screens in the 10BA years. Despite these issues, Neal continued as a prolific composer for film and television, and was no doubt happy that memories of his first feature film, the ill- fated Crosstalk, had been swept aside, though it was an early example of Australian feature film electronica. (The Place at the Coast also shows some then modern stylings in the underscore, though it was another ill-fated film domestically, which also got caught up in the Pepper distribution scandal, whereby a number of NSW Film Corporation films ended up with their international rights lost to a Panama-based company). Neal also did the score for The City's Edge, the NSWFC funded 1983 straight to tape noir outing which had been co-written by Robert Merritt and the film's director Ken Quinnell (and yet another caught up in the Pepper scandal). At time of writing, Neal had a brief wiki here. He also had his own website here. The site contained this biography: Early years studying classical piano and music theory were followed by an intensive period of progressive jazz study and practise, inspired by the recordings of such great artists as Bill Evans, Bobby Timmons, Oscar Peterson et al. By the time of the new excitement delivered by the likes of Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, it became obvious that eclecticism was the only way forward. The 1960's were alive with music. There were gigs around Sydney with my jazz piano trio (usually Tony (Toot) Simon on drums and John Butterworth on Bass)as well as the absolute joy of playing keys and guitars for many gigs with such well established rock bands as The Showmen and The Powerhouse, while the love of songwriting and composing grew..... In 1968, the opportunity arose to assist legendary composer Peter Sculthorpe create the score for the Anglo/Australian movie The Age Of Consent, starring first- timer Helen Mirren. What a journey. What a gift. A bizarre, life-changing accident led to a few months in Vietnam entertaining US troops. The time spent "hanging out" in Saigon set up the next extraordinary chapter of this strangely fortunate life.... Then followed the creation of the hippie, flower-power rock musical, Manchild, which toured Australian capital cities during 1971/72, creating several box-office records along the way. A focal point of the early '70s was the creation of the solo prog rock album Winds Of Isis. This epic instrumental outing developed a small, but committed following and remains in demand to this day. Another high point of the '70s was the development of an electronic score for Fritz Lang's silent classic, Metropolis. Live concerts featuring the soundtrack played live on the first commercially available microprocessor-based digital sequencer (The Roland MC-8)were presented around Sydney, while a film company sourced a high quality print to synchronise the music to. When the project was well into development, the word got out that Hollywood was working on a similar idea and the release did not go ahead . However, most of the music still exists in demo form. The commercial scene in Sydney was thriving in the '70s. Movies, TV, TVCs and records - it was all happening. Ads for clients such as : Sunbeam, Goldenia Tea, Levis, Gilbey's Gin, 2UE, 2GB and Home Journal filled in the weekly slots not used up by record production work for The Marshall Brothers Band, Bob Hudson, Maureen Elkner, The Radiators, to name a few....and there was even an extraordinary situation in which I found myself engineering for the great, sublime Stephane Grapelli..... By the time the '80s arrived, a career in film scoring was well underway, with many features, TV series, documentaries and kids dramas making up the slate. This remains the main focus today..... In 1980, The Living Room suite of recording studios was setup at Chatswood on Sydney's North Shore. This became home to the creation of many scores and soundtracks for featurs films and television dramas for the next twenty years. In 2001, we moved to Avalon on the Northern Beaches and set up Springboard Studios, which is still home...

    THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET 1 2 SWAN LAKE MELBOURNE 23 SEPTEMBER– 1 OCTOBER SYDNEY 2–21 DECEMBER Cover: Dimity Azoury. Photography Justin Rider Above: Leanne Stojmenov. Photography Branco Gaica Luke Ingham and Miwako Kubota. Photography Branco Gaica 4 COPPÉLIA NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dame Peggy van Praagh’s fingerprints are on everything we do at The Australian Ballet. How lucky we are to have been founded by such a visionary woman, and to live with the bounty of her legacy every day. Nowhere is this legacy more evident than in her glorious production of Coppélia, which she created for the company in 1979 with two other magnificent artists: director George Ogilvie and designer Kristian Fredrikson. It was her parting gift to the company and it remains a jewel in the crown of our classical repertoire. Dame Peggy was a renowned Swanilda, and this was her second production of Coppélia. Her first was for the Borovansky Ballet in 1960; it was performed as part of The Australian Ballet’s first season in 1962, and was revived in subsequent years. When Dame Peggy returned to The Australian Ballet from retirement in 1978 she began to prepare this new production, which was to be her last. It is a timeless classic, and I am sure it will be performed well into the company’s future. Dame Peggy and Kristian are no longer with us, but in 2016 we had the great pleasure of welcoming George Ogilvie back to the company to oversee the staging of this production. George and Dame Peggy delved into the original Hoffmann story, layering this production with such depth of character and theatricality.

  • Rosalind Nugent-Williams Thesis (PDF 1MB)
    Thespioprudence Australian film directors and Film performance “How do our directors work with actors on performance and what is the dominant approach to directing actors in Australian film?” Rosalind Nugent-Williams School of Film and Television Faculty of Creative Industries Queensland University of Technology Thesis in partial fulfilment of Master of Arts by Research 2004 State of Original Authorship The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted for a degree or diploma at any other higher education institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Signed: Date 2004 Acknowledgements I wish to thank Helen Yeates and John Hookham for their patience, generosity and wisdom as my supervisors. I also wish to thank my friends, Merran Lawler, Mark Thomas, Margaret-Mary Batch, Genevieve Thackwell-James, my teacher, Wayne Taylor, and my partner, Sean Riordan, for their support. Abstract “…we, directors and actors, put into practice the practice – we don’t practice the theory. I think that if there is no theory of acting, at least there are theoretical laws that we may find, curiously enough, in all traditions of acting. It is true that the term “theory of acting” does not seem fundamentally wrong, but it seems always somewhat imperialistic and pretentious. I prefer to use fundamental laws which we sometimes know but then sometimes lose and forget. It is only practice that all of a sudden can make law or tradition rise to the surface. I will not say then that there is no theory of acting; on the contrary, there have been many of them.

  • Place at the Coast Music Credits
    music chris neal Composer Chris Neal: Composer Chris Neal had previously worked with director George Ogilvie on the 1985 'issues' film Short Changed. By the time Chris Neal did these two films with Ogilvie, he had become a prolific composer for film and television, and was no doubt happy that memories of his first feature film, the ill-fated Crosstalk, had been swept aside, though it was an early example of Australian feature film electronica. The Place at the Coast also shows some then modern stylings in the underscore. Coincidentally producer Ross Matthews had become the EP on Crosstalk during its tortured production path, and it was a New South Wales Film Corporation financed venture, another film, like The Place at the Coast, that was caught up in the Pepper distribution scandal. Neal also did the score for The City's Edge, the NSWFC funded 1983 straight to tape noir outing which had been co-written by Robert Merritt and the film's director Ken Quinnell (and yet another caught up in the Pepper scandal). Quinnell and Merritt then collaborated on the early drafts for Short Changed - Merritt ultimately took the final sole screenplay credit - Neal wrote the score for the film, and Matthews produced it for the NSWFC, making for a certain sort of symmetry in the production credits for all these films. Neal would go on to a long career as a composer of scores for film and television, and would again work with Ogilvie on the mini-series version of the D'Arcy Niland novel, The Shiralee.
