SEA's young actors and dancers take to the stage at Albany Town Hall

Our workshop program delivered has more than doubled in size along with our membership numbers. We now have over 230 young children and youth attending our classes every week. In response the City of Albany has made the Town Hall available for our Drama and Dance workshops for two afternoons a week.

The move into the Town Hall has opened up additional circus and dance classes and reduced some of our extensive waiting lists. Thanks to the City of Albany we are now able to present ballet classes for ages ranging from 5 - 8 and 9 – 13, and the puppet show at our recent carnival was so successful that we have added puppetry classes to our core program

SEA and THE CHIPOLATAS at the Albany Entertainment Centre

GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD - THE CHIPOLATAS
celebrating 20 years on the road
INTER-BEING - SEA
a retrospective of some of SEA's recent performances

Saturday, 21 April 2012
Albany Entertainment Centre, 7.30pm

Just two weeks after the thrilling performances of Carnivale D'Mar as part of the Festival of the Sea, Southern Edge Arts has been invited to perform at the Albany Entertainment Centre, supporting the amazing Chipolatas, celebrating 20 years on the Road. In recognition of their remarkable achievement Southern Edge Arts will be performing a retrospective of our own recent productions.

INTER-BEING weaves together energetic, contemporary dance, exquisit aerial circus, exciting physical theatre and elegant puppetry to tell a story of human development, interconnectedness and achievement. Incorporating past hit shows such as Heaven and Hell, Café Shakespeare, The Colour of Forgetting, Spider’s Web and various other developments, Inter-being refreshes the ideas and routines previously explored by previous young members as the current young performers make them their own and adapt them to fit the stage at the Albany Entertainment Centre.
“We are thrilled to be able to present our work alongside a group like The Chipolatas” said SEA Artistic Director Simon Clarke, “We have been fortunate enough to have them deliver workshops for us in the past and we hope that this show will demonstrate that, even though those workshops were fleeting, their sense of humour, performance and respectful, irreverent fun has made it’s mark on our company.”

GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD IS a special mix of high-octane circus skills, music, theatre and dance. Blending accordion and acoustic rhythms with hip-hop and street style, Gentlemen of the Road is a high energy show presenting unparalleled, physical feats with live squeezebox, breakbeats and ballads. A unique and critically acclaimed show, suitable for all those who embrace life...

Established in 1992, The Chipolatas present unique performances incorporating inspiration embedded in worldwide culture. This is the essence of their unique identity; mixing traditional roots with contemporary stylings.
The Chipolatas have a proven track record in professional and high quality arts provision, committed to inclusion and equal opportunities. Our repertoire includes a wide range of educational outreach projects, prioritising the passing on of skills and performance techniques to new generations.
