Zorba the Greek Yolngu Style

22 February, 2008

Here is the youtube video of remote Elcho Island’s Aboriginal Chooky Dancers; in the video they are performing Zorba the Greek, of course Yolngu style. I think this is an interesting example of cultural hybrid. I’m sure you will love this video!

Major Bang:How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dirty Bomb

25 June, 2007

Below is an announcement by Martin Reynolds:

Hi Nursel

I wonder if you would be able to let your members know about a play we have coming to Sydney Opera House from the 17th July. It’s a very funny play, from one of the most celebrated downtown theatre companies in New York - Foundry Theatre. The company is famed for it’s tackling of the important issues facing the world.

This show - MAJOR BANG: or how I learned to stop worrying and love the dirty bomb - explores the everyday climate of terrorist paranoia. It starts with a red backpack found on the subway, and traces the true story of David Hahn - a US boy scout who tried to earn his Atomic Energy badge by building a nuclear reactor in his parents’ garage. More info about the show at: http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/sections/whats_on/boxoffice/event_details.asp?EventID=2238&sm=1&ss=1

Tickets start at just $38 - from www.sydneyoperahouse.com or on 02 9250 7777
