Start Date: 19-Sep-08 7:00 PM
End Time: 19-Sep-08 9:00 PM
Location: The Boxcar Playhouse, San Francisco, California 94103
Speaker:

Event Details:

Advance Members are invited to the rehearsed reading of The Man with the September Face, the North American premiere of Australian playwright Kylie Trounson.

Presented by the Australian American Chamber of Commerce

The Man with the September Face Synopsis:

It’s 1985. Jesse is the king of the roller-rink. But he’s yearning. He knows there’s something deeper, a better way to be alive. His coach and Mum, Naura, runs the kiosk at the local rink and spins incredible tales about her imagined exotic heritage. The new girl, Harriet, intrigues Jesse with her naïve Marxism and aspirations to join the Bolsheviks. Wolf, the rink’s hot DJ lothario, throws down the gauntlet for skating glory, and for Harriet’s (or is it Jesse’s?) hand.

Caught between the scylla and charybdis of 80s hits: will Jesse go for ‘Gold’ or collapse into the neo-nihilism of Ultravox’s lament for the modern man, ‘Vienna’?

Can Jesse stay true? And who is the man with the September face...?

Last year Tipoti won, for the second time, the prestigious Works on Paper Award in the 24th National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award. This, and his inclusion in Australian Art Collector Magazine’s 2008 list of the ‘50 Most Collectable Australian Artists’ confirms his reputation as one of Australia’s leading contemporary printmakers. International interest is also growing with his work being seen in art fairs in the UK and France and in January 2009 he will be showing in a major exhibition in New York.

Paris: Spaghetti Western Orchestra
Start Date: 18-Sep-08 8:00 PM
End Time: 18-Sep-08 11:30 PM
Location: Cafe de la Danse
Speaker:

Event Details:

Fresh from sell out performances in festivals all over the world, Melbourne musicians the Spaghetti Western Orchestra bring their unique form of musical madness to Paris - with a special discount ticket price for Advance members.

With a wagon train of instruments the Orchestra rides into town to perform its unique take on such classic Ennio Morricone spaghetti western music as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Once Upon A Time In The West and For A Few Dollars More.

With a fistful of humour and a bucket-load of fun, the orchestra underscores these brilliant musical adventures with the sound effects of the iconic spaghetti western movies - every punch up, gunshot, and jangling spur is recreated using coat hangers, cornflakes, nail clippers, rubber gloves and other ingenious ‘instruments’ pulled from their saddlebag of tricks.

The Spaghetti Western Orchestra is a tribute to the maestro Morricone, performed by a posse of magnificent musicians.

Simply fantastic and a must-see show. - The Age, Australia

Advance has negotiated discount tickets for its members for the Orchestra's September 18 performance - including a meet-and-greet cocktail with the Orchestra after the show.

Regular Box Office Price: 36 euros

Advance Member Price: 30 euros

Tickets are limited and will be issued on a first-come, first served basis.

The discussion will shed light on what impact these innovations have had on content creation and distribution across broadcast and cable TV, to syndication, mobile, broadband and beyond.
