The Climbers

On December 15th we all met back at the Dandenong Community Arts Centre for a after show get together. There was lots of food and laughter.

Larry and I made the announcement to the group that we had been successful in receiving significant financial assistance (in the form of return airfares) to get some members of Fusion Theatre to Hong Kong for the IDEA congress in July 2007. This announcment caused much excitement and many people immediately expressed their desire to be counted in on that! We talked about the requirements of participants in the Hong Kong experience as representatives of Fusion Theatre and explained that there will be a process of interview and audition before a panel of three. 

After the excitement and questions died down a little, I asked if anyone wanted to contribute any final thoughts to the blog.

Here is what people said:

Jean-Marie: We’ve had a great year and the 10th anniversary year will be even better (2007) and we’ll do even more than we’ve done before. Some of us are even going to China which is exciting and wonderful. I really hope to go!

Mandy: I hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year and I hope we have a great year of drama. I hope I get to go to Hong Kong.

Andy: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I’m thinking about how good we all are and especially thank-you to my dad, Joe, for all the work. (Joe was our lighting tech.)

Andrew: Great year! Great show!  See you next year. As for Hong Kong! Thanks for a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’ll do my best and give it my best shot.

Vicki: I liked being pandora. I wish everyone a happy Christmas and New Year and I hope I get picked for Hong Kong.

Debbie: I liked the show. Merry Christmas.

Paul: The Deakin students are nice to work with. They are like a part of the drama group. And kate is fantastic.Everybody just did a fantastic job.

We also had some awards -presented to each person with some words about their development of skills over the year and their part in the performance. We looked at photos of the performances and rehearsals of Museum Mythica - everyone had some to take home.

So- it is over for 2006 but we all look forward to 2007 with a sense of excitement and anticipation.

Thats all from me for 2006.

Warm wishes to all,

Jo
