Tarrengower PuppetFest<br />
March 10, 11, 12, 2012<br />
Maldon, Victoria<br />
The festival is now four months away, with the<br />
programme finalised and only a few days before the<br />
website is published with information about the Fest.<br />
The website will be officially launched on Monday<br />
14th November.<br />
This festival promises to offer a rich and varied experience of the <strong>Puppetry</strong> Arts. The<br />
programme includes ten different shows plus an adult cabaret, a family cabaret,<br />
roaming performances at the markets and on the Maldon/Castlemaine steam train,<br />
the UNIMA Slam Noir, two wonderful workshops and a powerpoint presentation by<br />
Richard Bradshaw. All this in two and a half days.<br />
Providing for a broad age group, there is something for everybody to enjoy - from<br />
puppetry for under 5ʼs, families and general audiences to adult puppetry with 15+<br />
adult concept themes. Audience sizes vary, with performances for 1 person, 50, 100<br />
and 200+. The range of venues encompasses the main community centre halls, a<br />
disused mine tunnel, a huge climate-controlled steel shed at a vintage museum,<br />
outdoor areas and the steam train.<br />
There will be five new productions including 3 debuts by Sydney Puppet Theatre,<br />
Men of Steel and Rachael Guy. Other performers/companies include Lemony S,<br />
Richard Bradshaw, About Face Productions, Jenny Ellis, Dennis Murphy, <strong>Dream</strong><br />
<strong>Puppets</strong>, Lana Schwartz and Anna Paola; there are workshops and performances by<br />
Gary Friedman, and the Puppet Slammers. (More about this in forthcoming news).<br />
Some cabaret acts and roaming acts are yet to be announced.<br />
Low cost accommodation (back-packer style) and camping opportunities will be<br />
available for the festival. (Details and booking arrangements for this will be available<br />
shortly.)<br />
All those currently involved in organising this wonderful event feel that we have now<br />
arrived at the point of HAVING A NEW PUPPET FESTIVAL IN AUSTRALIA, and itʼs<br />
going to be a momentous occasion.<br />
New Website address is: www.tarrengowerpuppetfest.org.au - available Monday,<br />
