Patron, Dr Bruce Dawe, is unwell at the moment and the Association wishes him a speedy recovery. We look forward to sharing future contributions with you, as we celebrate ten years of ’The Patron’s Pen’. In this Edition, we flashback to Dr Bruce Dawe’s second contribution to the QV in Edition 2, 2009. If You’ve Ever Met A Metaphor If you’ve ever met a metaphor Blitzkrieg is one such metaphor, (Outside of an exam), And Schwerpunkt is its mate, You’ll know you’re feeling better for Tache d’huile in the Indo-China War The fact, just as I am. Helped seal the French troops’ fate… A feline little creature Never sneer (should you be tempted) That can curl up in a ball, As a metaphor slinks past, Its most amazing feature’s that Even thespians aren’t exempted —It can be suddenly ten-feet tall! And that sneer could be your last! It can purr around your ankle, Treat them kindly, as you would Pose questions with its tail, A husband, cat, or wife, But catching it can rankle; And they will prove a lasting good It will very frequently fail And be your friend for life... To come in at your calling, Especially late at night When, powers of invention failing, You’re not feeling very bright… Yet, metaphors can be golden And enrich your mind for days —Every language is beholden To their many subtle ways, To our finest thoughts they minister And much of grief can tell; They can also be quite sinister As history shows full well: 4 Dear Members, I hope this edition of your Quarterly Voice finds you well. After the hurly-burly of the end of Semester One exams and reporting, and the general business of daily life, I hope you enjoyed a very well-deserved break (I certainly did just that). Thank-you to everyone who has participated in our Association’s recent events. It’s always wonderful to catch-up with each other and to share stories and ideas and simply enjoy each other’s charming company. On Sunday 24th March (9.30am-3pm) at the AMEB Studios, we held the second in our four-year cycle of information sessions with the various examining bodies to promote and explore their communication syllabi. Last year, ASCA featured aspects of their Communication Syllabus. This year, AMEB highlighted the nature of their Voice & Communication Syllabus. Thank-you to all of the teachers and students involved, especially CSPT Inc. Life Member and AMEB Examiner, June Finney. On Sunday 28th April (3-5pm) at the AMEB Studios, the first in our three “Plays in Focus” sessions for this year was held. A small group of members attended to read and discuss Emilia by British playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcolm. It was a most enjoyable and enlightening afternoon. Unfortunately, our second “Plays in Focus” (scheduled for Sunday 28th July at the home of Immediate Past-President, Annette Stoddart) was cancelled due to low registrations. This was most regrettable as the chosen play Viral is so relevant to the issues facing today’s youth. Therefore, I will provide a little information about the play written by Sam Foster and Hayden Jones from the Gold Coast based company Shock Therapy Productions. Viral effectively explores the impact of social media and technology on the ways we record, disseminate and deal with issues like abuse, racism, violence and similar social problems. I am very familiar with Shock Therapy’s productions. Their work is ideal for adolescents; especially boys. This Theatre for Young People play features multiple role-playing, physical theatre and engages students in thoughtful and challenging discussion, without being condescending or tending to preach. On their website, Shock Therapy Productions states that their aim is “to tell stories that are meaningful, thought provoking, dynamic and entertaining, celebrating both the confronting and cathartic nature of performance”. Since their inception in 2015, they have won the following Matilda Awards - 2017 Best Independent Production for The Forwards, 2016 Best Independent Production for Viral and 2015 Best Independent Production for The Pillowman. For more information about Shock Therapy and access to their teacher resources and a variety of other resources, please visit their website [http://www.shocktherapyproductions.com.au/]. Thank- you to our “Plays in Focus” sub-committee, Helen Steele, Annette Stoddart and Kathy Wilson, for organising and co-ordinating this professional development opportunity. Details about the Term 4 “Plays in Focus” appears in this edition. Please come along! On Saturday evening June 8th, the 73rd Barbara Sisley Awards were held in The Premier’s Hall at Queensland Parliament House. Our special Guest of Honour and Guest Speaker was our CSPT Inc. Life Member, Past President (2005-2007) and ACM President, Stephen Robinson. His Barbara Sisley speech was well-researched and highlighted interesting aspects of Barbara Sisley’s life on the stage. Stephen has kindly allowed us to include a copy of the speech in this Edition. Overall, it was a most enjoyable evening of excellent entertainment. Special congratulations to our Members whose students presented at the Awards. I would also like to especially acknowledge and thank the co-ordinators Helen Steele and June Finney. They did a stellar job! In particular, I especially thank Helen for the many hours she devoted to the event’s organisation, to ensure that the evening would run smoothly; it all takes time and on behalf of the Association, I extend our thanks to Helen for her good 5 work. Likewise, thanks to June for carefully selecting the awardees’ books and to Katrina Roberts for her assistance with printing and the like. Finally, thank-you to my fellow Committee Members for their contribution to the effective running of the evening. Since 2010 (64th Barbara Sisley Awards), The Premier’s Hall at Parliament House has been ‘our home’ for the Awards and we hope this arrangement will continue in the coming years. It is certainly a prestigious venue that rightfully reflects the significance of the event and the fact that our awardees come from all around our state. The programme for this year’s Barbara Sisley Awards appears in this Edition of your QV. Please take the time to read back through the short biographies of our stoic members who have awards named in their honour; wonderful women like Sister Mary Leonard, Gilbert Auriol Luck, Maggie Lovejoy, Blanche Lather, Maibry Wragge and Daphne Roemermann.

    A LOOK AT SEASON SIXTY-SEVEN Colonial Players’ 2015-16 season will take our patrons on a journey from England to New York to Boston and from the late Victorian era to 21st-century America, using comedy, drama, and THE music to relate spellbinding tales of love, laughter, and, yes, even murder. Subscriptions for either five or seven shows will be on sale soon. We hope you will join us on our journey. ★ SEPTEMBER 4-26 The season opens with Sherlock’s Last Case, a ruefully comic send-up of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about his famed English detective. This modern version is unlike anything you’ve seen about Holmes, with a jaw-dropping twist so unexpected we will ask our patrons not to reveal the secret to those who have yet to see the play. ★ OCTOBER 16-31 Side Man is a memory play told by a narrator who relates the story of his parents' relationship over four decades from the 1950s to the 1980s. It focuses on the lives of side men - musicians who made their living playing gigs with headliners on tours and in recording sessions - at a time when rock and roll was edging out jazz and big band music. Side Man won a Tony Award and was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. Side Man contains strong language and mature themes. ★ NOVEMBER 20-DECEMBER 13 Morning's at Seven is a charming comedy set in the early 20th century and is the second in our series of classic American plays. Originally produced in 1938, it is a story of family relationships among four sisters, three husbands, and one son and his fiancée of 12 years.

Sixty years later it’s still an American institution with its one-of-a-kind score including rousing marches (“Seventy-Six Trombones”), soaring ballads (“Till -more- 2018-19 Season Auditions Page 2 of 5 There Was You”), and Willson’s snap-crackle-pop vocal arrangements that could be considered the Broadway precursors to rap.
