Place Called Home

Arts & Culture

Tammy Law, a Brisbane artist will be exhibiting in Cell Art Space for the month of August to coincide with Cairns Indigenious Art Fair (CIAF).
“Mona Mona is a place that doesn’t appear on some Queensland maps. Its history is complex; its future uncertain. The members of this Indigenous community are fighting to make the best of what they have.”
In March 2009, the state government announced they would evacuate the former mission and Indigenous community of Mona Mona. The fifty remaining residents still live on the land, but Mona Mona was low on the state government’s list of priorities, declaring infrastructure and the renewing of housing to be discontinued.

Tammy Law received a BA in Photography (Photojournalism) from Griffith University. Tammy earned a place in the YAMP 2009 (Young Artists Mentoring Program). Place Called Home will be exhibited as part of Cairns Indigenous Art Fair 2010.

OPENING NIGHT SAT 7th August 2010 5.30pm - 8.30pm
Please join us at Cell Art Space, 109 Lake St at 5.30pm sharp to officially launch Place Called Home. From 6pm - 8.30pm enjoy food and drinks at Twelve Bar Café, Cnr Lake & Shields St.

Father-Son Adventure WEEKEND

Kids

Turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers.

Every boy has a core question... "Do you love me Dad? Do you delight in me? Am I your beloved son? Am I the apple of your eye?”

How is it that a Dad answers his son's core question?

By intentionally sharing one-on-one time with him. Remember, a child spells LOVE "T-I-M-E".

What others have said...

This time has meant so much more to my son than I anticipated it would. I really appreciate having had this opportunity. Gary (age 40)

My son and I really needed and loved this special time together. Marty (age 38)

The high point for me was really listening to my son, and entering into his world. Joel (age 42)

It was great. I would love Dad to be alone with me for a couple of weeks. Joel (age 8)

It was great! I think it made us a whole lot closer. Jesse (age 11)

This weekend has shown me that I am special. (Ethan (age 7)

Wombat Stew - A Gary Ginivan Attractions production

Theatre

A Garry Ginivan Attractions production

From Garry Ginivan Attractions, Australia's leading producer of musical theatre for children, and following the highly acclaimed national tour of POSSUM MAGIC in 2008 which played in over 40 theatres and to more than 80,000 patrons, comes a brand new stage adaptation of another Australian classic.

First published in 1984, WOMBAT STEW is a modern day phenomenon in children's literature and has sold more than 350,000 copies Australia wide. Written by Marcia K Vaughan, with illustrations by Pamela Lofts, the simple story of a dingo who catches a wombat and decides to make wombat stew, has been cleverly developed into a " true-blue-dinky-di-big-aussie-musical " complete with blobs of mud, very fine feathers, creepy crawlies, fliesss, gum-nuts and a big bubbling billy can!

This new Australian musical has been adapted for the stage by the highly acclaimed team of Gary Young (writer/director) and Paul Keelen (original score). Gary & Paul are highly skilled professionals and have the distinct honour of winning the highly prestigious Pratt Prize for Musical Theatre, not once but twice, including the inaugural prize in 2002 for their musical SIDESHOW ALLEY.

With a cast of 6 multi-talented performers, WOMBAT STEW is a "mouth-watering" combination of story-telling, mime, music, dance and puppetry, which is bound to be the highlight of children's theatre for 2010 and well into the future.

Festivals

Cairns, it's time stoke up your sense of humor and dive down the back of the couch for those handfuls of loose change. Come and experience a world of comedy, madness and mayhem as the hottest acts from Australia and around the world hit the streets.

2 extra days, 40+ shows, 3 new venues - it just gets bigger and better every year. Special events in the program this year include Circus Under the Stars on the Esplanade foreshore and the Crack Up Comedy and cabaret club at the Cape York Hotel.

The festival begins with the opening night spectacular - The One Night Stand at Rydges Tradewinds. Featuring one-off performances by local and touring artists not to be seen again at festival so this really is the night not to miss! (even if it is a one-night-stand, we will still make you feel special).
