My family, in particular “And yes, we do need hope, of course we do. But the one thing we need more than my Dad who built all the set and gadgets. Chris Isaacs and Arielle Gray who helped me make the show and hope is action. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for toured with me for the first few years. Sam Longley and St John Cowcher, who in 2013 became performers hope, look for action. Then, and only then, hope will come. Everything needs to change of the show, and have probably both done the show more than I have (collectively we have performed this show over a thousand times on almost every continent). All the staff over the last decade at The Blue Room, -- and it has to start today.” - Greta Thunburg Spare Parts, Perth Theatre Company, The Last Great Hunt, Weeping Spoon, Elsie Management and Awesome It’s true. I am hopeful about the future when I see others taking action. When I see solar panels on roofs, when Festival. And many many many individuals and organisations who helped sculpt the show, tour managed, I see my local council has banned single use plastics, when I go to free (or very cheap) weekend workshops on presented, or produced the show. I am so so very grateful, and I thank you so very much for your hard work, permaculture and meet hundreds of people learning and taking action. When I see my friends quitting plastic, and belief in this humble, lo-fi, scrappy little 45 minute show. It’s a rare milestone for a small show such as or getting worms. I am overwhelmed with hope for the future when I see students striking. I am also so much this to have such a long and healthy life, and I thank you all for indulging and celebrating it with me! more at ease when I take personal responsibility for my actions, when I live the change I want to see in the world. Because there are MANY things we can do as individuals that will make, and is making a big difference. Alvin has been a huge part of my life, it has allowed me to see the world doing what I love and sharing what I Whether it’s getting a compost bin, reducing your waste (or even going waste free), eating less red meat, love with beautiful people. It has given me an incredible appreciation and respect for humanity, imagination, switching to green power through your energy provider, or getting solar panels, or rainwater, growing your own and the planet. Unfortunately I have racked up a lot of carbon miles along the way, which of course is ironic food, or even supporting one of the hundreds of climate charities that are out there doing good (whether its given its themes, however I am endeavouring to offset and make up for it. advocacy like The Climate Council, or offsetting carbon through cool projects like myclimate.org, or the intrepid foundation, or did you know one of the best things we can do for the climate is actually educate women?! The show is about grief, loss, and enduring love set in an post-apocalyptic water world. 11 years ago Arielle OneGirl is a wonderful charity, and there are so many other benefits too). Or even switching your bank and and I went to the Great Barrier Reef and were blown away by its beauty and that feeling of complete terror super fund to ones that invest in renewables instead of fossil fuels (it literally takes five minutes to change to Future Super, and just 7.7% of Australia’s superannuation can get us to 100% renewable energy!) and awe of being so small and staring out into the endless blue abyss. We had gone to see the reef before it died. That feeling of guilt and anxiety about the climate, tied up into that feeling of being so small compared For the longest time I thought it was too daggy to go on about the environmental message of the show. And to the totality of nature was the seed image and feeling behind Alvin. maybe it still is, but that is the benefit of being 34 not 24, I am less worried about being daggy. In fact one of the first reviews we ever got from the first season mentioned that it could have had a stronger environmental What resulted is a show filled with joy, hope, and heart in the bleakest of settings. And devastatingly, 10 years message (perhaps you were right Pip Christmas). But I do FINALLY think it is becoming cool to care about the on, this show is more relevant than ever. The UN and climate scientists give us 10 years to take drastic action environment. before climate change is no longer in our control. Alvin, however is about something even larger than the total destruction of everything we know (cue scoffing). It’s about love, and sacrificing ourselves for the greater good, because in the face of the chaos that may be When I made this show I was really struggling with my own anxiety about the climate, and I know I really awaiting us all in the next few decades, kindness and altruism will be the most precious of resources. That and needed hope to get me through. And I still do. But I was struck recently by some words that resounded so clean drinking water... and good theatre of course! strongly with me, and in particular in relation to Alvin. And given this show is being presented at a festival for bright young things it only seems appropriate to quote one of them here.

Those discussions were swirling around at the same time as the Committee for Perth had identified the enhancement of Perth’s cultural fabric as a key strategy in the Committee’s goal of improving the liveability of Perth. Arising from these twin drivers came the adoption by the Committee of a project to explore a vision for the future of arts and culture in our capital city. Lotterywest generously agreed to fund this project, which has essentially been about creating the future for Perth and Western Australia and ensuring that arts and culture are central to that future. As part of the project we have welcomed the participation of a broad range of people across the cultural sector, including the traditional art form areas, heritage, arts, education, media and commercial entertainment, design and town planning and from many communities.

  • Matej Andraž Vogrinčič
    Matej Andraž Vogrinčič In my art I try to feel the character of the space and add something that will not dominate but complement it. Once the project is over the two elements separate, becoming just space and objects again. The only way to make the work last is through photography. For me the resulting image is not only documentation but another artwork. 1 Dressed House Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1993 An abandoned house stood out in a row of the freshly restored medieval riverbank. It was important to dress it, and I used the 2 clothes donated by many citizens of Ljubljana. 3 Casa Vestita Venezia, Italy,1999 Casa Vestita, or Casa dei Varoteri (thats the name when it is not dressed) is the only free standing house on a public space in Venice. So if the Dressed House in Ljubljana is more like a painting; Casa Vestita is more like a sculpture in the square, dressed with clothes donated by 4 the citizens of Venice. 5 Car Park, Members Only Adelaide, Australia, 2000 14,910 matchbox sized toy cars installed on a 22m long and 22m high brick wall. Adelaide is a capital of garages and car parks. I found a stenciled graffiti saying ‘Small Car: Members Only’ and decided to make a car park 6 for realy small cars. 7 Moon Plain Moon Plain, Australia, 2002 1,800 plaster casts of watering cans covering a football field sized area in the driest place on earth. Depending on the point of view, the final arangement looked like a flock of cockatoos or like an aboriginal dot painting.

  • Lawley Art Auction, Our Prestigious Annual Event, Now Entering Its 10Th Highly Successful Year
    Lawley Art 2013Auction MOUNT LAWLEY SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Welcome Welcome to the Lawley Art Auction, our prestigious annual event, now entering its 10th highly successful year. Open to the wider arts community, we have attracted a high standard of varied artworks to give established and emerging artists the platform to showcase and sell their art. This year we have been fortunate to receive a diverse range of artwork including paintings, photographs, textiles, sculpture, glassworks and ceramics, allowing buyers the opportunity to bid on affordable, stunning pieces from Western Australian artists. As the premiere fundraising event for the Mount Lawley Senior High School’s Art and Music departments, funds raised this evening will ensure that not only are our students receiving amazing art related opportunities, we will continue to be a flagship school within the arts. The future aim is that these benefits will flow through to the wider community and we believe this enrichment will create the next generation of actors, musicians and visual artists. In previous years, the Music Department has utilised the funds towards technology and resources to support ensemble development and classroom programs. Purchases include important equipment such as timpani, bass guitar, amplifiers, microphones and I.T. The SVAPA department has made use of their funds in a variety of ways; contracting artists to conduct workshops, providing enrichment programs, the opportunity for students to attend performances during the Perth International Arts Festival and the Awesome Festival and allowing students to organise and participate in the Arts Day Festival, celebrated by the whole school. The Lawley Art Auction is a joint venture between the Music and Specialist Visual and Performing Arts (SVAPA) Support Committees under the auspices of the MLSHS Parents & Citizens Association Inc.

    6. CONCLUSION …and then – she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flowerbeds and the cool fountains (Lewis Carroll ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) In the introduction to this thesis I suggested that my study of four contemporary Western Australian male artists might enable me to answer, among other things, the following questions: How do these artists interact with a site often so strongly associated with the female and with female histories? Are they drawn to the site by memory or personal need (or both)? What sort of art do they produce as a consequence of interaction with the domestic? Are they concerned that the contemporary art world still tends to marginalise the home/ domestic space as a site for serious art? Further, this investigation would allow me to compare their essentially male attitudes to domestic space(s) with my own. Regardless of the implied specificity of these questions and their relationship to the memory of the historical antagonism between domesticity and modernism, things have changed. The ‘post-modern era shift in attitudes’ to the domestic, as identified by Haar and Reed, is indeed a real condition, and many well known artists, male and female are energising contemporary discourse with the products of their engagement.
