Source: ABC News. “I’m happy, and I’m sad for the people who have gone already … we had a minute’s silence for them … but it’s been very tiring fighting for this for three years,” said Maxine Kunde, the leader Mgr Charles Gauci - Bishop of Darwin of a group of 42 survivors that took civil action against the church and Commonwealth in the Northern Territory Supreme Court. At age six, Ms Kunde, along with her brothers and sisters, was forcibly taken from her mother under the then-federal government’s policy of removing children of mixed descent from their parents. Garden Point survivors, many of whom travelled to Darwin from all over Australia, agreed yesterday to settle the case, and Maxine Kunde (ABC News/Tiffany Parker) received an informal apology from representatives of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, in a private session.Ms Kunde said members of the group were looking forward to getting a formal public apology which they had been told would be delivered in a few weeks’ time. Darwin Bishop Charles Gauci said on behalf of the diocese he apologised to those who were abused at Garden Point.

XVI No. 3 (2014) MALTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Architecture in Post-Independence Malta Past, Present and Future Conrad Thake1 In July 1969, five years after Malta’s Independence, the prestigious British architecture journal, The Architecture Review issued a special issue entitled MALTA – Past, Present and Future. The foreword by the journal’s editors commenced as follows: ‘Since Malta achieved independence many changes have come to the island and even greater changes are likely, largely owing to the growth of tourism. Since the run-down of the British naval base and dockyards, it has been increasingly evident in spite of some successes in the light industries, that the future economy of the island must largely depend on tourism and on the climatic and other attractions it offers to retired people and such like. This means a vast amount of building – of villas, hotels and pleasure facilities of all kinds – and the main problem facing Malta at the moment, a problem much of the building that has already taken place alarmingly illustrates, is how to prevent all these developments in aid of tourism from destroying the very attractions the tourist come to enjoy.'2 True, the aftermath of Malta’s Independence witnessed an unprecedented ‘building boom’ as the island embarked on an intensive 1 Prof. Conrad Thake is an associate professor at the History of Art department, University of Malta.

    Hybrid Practices: Methodologies, Histories, and Performance A conference at the University of Malta, hosted by the School of Performing Arts 13–15 March 2019 Abstracts Wednesday 13 March 8:30-9:00 Registration 9:00-9:10 Opening and Welcome 9:10-10:30 Keynote Speech Prof. Anne Bogart, SITI Company and Columbia University, US The Vital and Energetic Role of an Audience In our current digitally dominated environment, the theatre has become a sacred place wherein dramatic and democratic encounters can occur within the delineated time and space of a production. The audience enters into the dark chamber of a theatre, lamp in hand, searching for something, ready for a journey. The actor meets them there and the expedition begins. What is happening? What is the actor doing? What is the audience doing in relation to what the actor is doing? What is the audience’s job and what role do they play? How are they physically and neurologically engaged? How is the audience’s experience shaped by other audience members? Is there such a thing as a good audience or a bad audience? What is really happening? In this talk I will investigate what happens when actors interface and connect with an audience and examine how our understandings and misunderstandings of the audience’s role in the theatre effect our field. Anne Bogart is a Co-Artistic Director of the ensemble-based SITI Company, head of the MFA Directing program at Columbia University, and author of five books: A Director Prepares, The Viewpoints Book, And Then You Act, Conversations with Anne and What’s the Story.

    196 UDC 792.077(458.4) This article gives a short survey of amateur theatre practice in Malta. It demonstrates that the theatre system is based almost entirely on amateur practice, as Malta does not have the audience capacity and the administrative infrastructure to support professional theatre, and only a handful of persons make a living solely from theatre. However, the development of theatre education during the last thirty years has improved the quality of acting and staging and provided more scope for tackling challenging performances with regard to both content and mise-en-scène. The article looks into the different varieties of amateur theatre-making, taking into account issues such as the differing use of the two main languages of the country: Maltese and English. It discusses the importance of community identity as well as the role the Catholic Church has played in the development of theatre. The authors examine the challenges faced by contemporary amateur theatre- makers in the light of the changes occurring in society and the new choices that these changes determine. New Western theatre styles are not only influencing both playwrights and performers, but have also changed the expectations of contemporary spectators concerning the way the performance presents social and political issues. Keywords: amateur theatre, semi-professional theatre, training, theatre education, theatre in Maltese, theatre in English, Catholic Church Vicki Ann Cremona is chair of the School of Performing Arts and professor of theatre studies at the University of Malta. She was appointed Ambassador of Malta to France between 2005 and 2009, and to Tunisia between 2009 and 2013.
