Guardian Mem Morrison requests the pleasure of your company at the Signet Library. Take a front row seat, join the family and meet the many potential brides at his long overdue wedding reception. Ringside draws on a lifetime of remembered Turkish Cypriot family weddings, and tests traditional values by breaking the silence and changing history forever.
Ringside is part written, devised and performed with a group of 30 local female performers of different ages and nationalities who play the roles of Mem's potential wives and wedding guests. Audience members are required to wear headphones as the celebration and rituals of remembered wedding receptions are used to explore issues surrounding autobiography,

On an empty stage lit only by hand-held torches, award-winning Adelaide trio, Terri Cat Silvertree, Alex Gellmann and Skye Gellmann take us back to the pure essence of circus; behind the popcorn, frills and grand gestures. Far from the sensory overload of much contemporary performance, Scattered Tacks leads audiences into an enthralling, minimalist and absurd vision of circus.
The trio take turns to perform installments using curious props and peculiar circus skills.
Skye Gellman. Dancing with a bowling ball, eating a raw onion, lying on a bed of scattered tacks and juggling with a teabag hanging from the mouth, this is no roaring spectacle, rather a production of small greatness, sensational in its detail. |

Lights, Camera, Gaultier! The Australian Centre for the Moving Image together with L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival present a film program dedicated to the career, creations and influences of the 'enfant terrible' of French fashion - Jean Paul Gaultier.
2010 marks forty years since Gaultier started his career in fashion at an after school job assisting designer Pierre Cardin and he is now not only one of the most infamous fashion designers but also one of the most revered Paris couturiers - rare for a self taught designer. Gaultier and his designs are also interweaved throughout the history of popular culture - his Madonna's Blonde Ambition-era cone bras, the controversial skirts for men collection, as well as his stints as a presenter on cult UK TV show Eurotrash - all confirmed him as a style icon. His designs have also been praised by a galaxy of starlets from Mickey Rourke to Marion Cotillard. |

2010 Make A Scene competition |
| Date: | 'Entries close October 1st' |

Bell Shakespeare founder and Artistic Director John Bell will join with best-selling children's author Andy Griffiths, Channel 9 TODAY show weatherman Steve Jacobs, M&C Saatchi Senior Copywriter Genevieve Hoey and Optus Sponsorship Manager Geoffrey Nevill to decide who will win $5,000 cash and other exceptional prizes.
The competition challenges students to interpret a Shakespeare quote in any medium they choose, be it animation, film, photography and illustration - to be submitted electronically as a still image or movie file. Make A Scene encourages students to approach Shakespeare in a language they understand while giving teachers the opportunity to utilise technology within the prescribed curriculum.
The calibre of entries so far this year is proving to be higher than ever, with one student interpreting "Men should be what they seem" (Othello 3:3:129) by handpainting a depiction of his cardiovascular system on his upper body, and another student interpreting "Love look not with the eyes, but with the mind" (A Midsummer Night's Dream 1:1:234) in a 30 second Western-style silent film. |

What do you do when life abruptly turns you upside down, grabs your heart and squeezes it tight? When you need to find more love, strength and resilience than you ever thought you had?
Award winning Australian play Inside Out asks these questions when it premieres, as part of Mental Health Week 2010.
Awarded the prestigious Rodney Seaborn Playwriting Award in 2008, Inside Out tackles the impact of mental illness on families. It highlights the very real struggles of families caring for a loved one with a mental illness and carries a powerful message: When mental illness affects a family member, it affects us all.
