KASEY CHAMBERS & BAND - Wed 17th & Thurs 18th February 2010 |
 |
 |
 |
 Australia’s favourite country music star; Kasey Chambers was not content with taking a break after her recorded collaboration with husband Shane Nicholson: ‘Rattlin Bones’ took out 2008’s Aria for Best Country Album and 5 C.M.A.A. Golden Guitars. Kasey decided to realise a lifetime ambition. She got together with her friend Bernadette Werchon and they sat down and wrote a children’s book ‘Little Kasey Chambers and The Lost Music’, loosely based around Kasey growing up in outback Australia. Naturally, because she is a Chambers, you couldn’t possibly put a book out without some sort of musical accompaniment so she and her father; ‘Poppa’ Bill Chambers co-wrote and recorded ‘Kasey Chambers, Poppa Bill and The Little Hillbillies’ album – music for all the family! They took the kids, the book and the album on the road to Movieworld on the Gold Coast, to the Sydney Festival and then before the kids went back to school, to Tamworth for a fun packed series of live shows including a performance at this years 38th Annual Country Music Awards (screening this Thursday on CMC at 7pm and this Saturday on the National Ten Network at 1.30pm). That was Kasey’s so called year-off.
February 2010 sees Kasey back out touring playing all her hits, accompanied by Bill Chambers and Shane Nicholson for headline shows at Geraldton, the Perth Muster and CMC Rocks The Snowies, Apollo Bay Music Festival as well as supporting Lyle Lovett on his national Australian tour late March.

DIRTY DUSTING - Tuesday 23rd February, 8pm |
|
|
|
 A hilarious comedy about ‘over the hill’ cleaners who start ‘talking dirty’ and end up filthy rich!
Starring four of Australia’s best known actors, Dirty Dusting is an hilarious look at sex and the over 70s!
A trio of hard-working cleaners are facing the axe. They might be past their best, beyond their sell-by date and over the hill but they certainly won’t take threats of redundancy lying down. These game ‘girls’ set up a phone sex service, known as “The Telephone Belles”, and that’s when the fun begins. Their bosses don’t know about it, their families would never guess and their very willing customers are none the wiser. They’re the only chat-line girls with dusters, attitude and their very own bus passes! Pure theatrical Viagra!
Ellis Productions and The Whitehorse Centre
in association with Robert C Kelly and Michael Harrison
present
DIRTY DUSTING

ACROBATIC ALLSTARS - Thursday 18th March, 8pm |
|
|
|
 Acrobatic Allstars is set to captivate and inspire Australian kids across the country.
Acrobatic Allstars is a high energy, power-packed 90 minute performance that showcases China’s most talented and inspiring child acrobats in a dynamic program that mixes traditional acrobatics with contemporary movement.
Acrobatic Allstars takes audiences through a breathtaking medley of balance, contortion, juggling, spinning - even roller skating! Each act showcases the agility, flexibility and stamina of these remarkable child protégées.
Set to an intoxicating soundtrack, Acrobatic Allstars energetically mixes traditional Chinese song motifs with the hard edged beat of modern rhythm and drums.
Acrobatic Allstars is inspired by producer Hao Zhou and his experience as a child acrobatic in China. Hao’s first hand insight into the commitment, talent and mastery these child acrobatics present inspired him to develop a performance especially for Australian audiences.
“I wanted Australian kids to see the awe-inspiring talent and skill of their Chinese peers. The different acts being performed will inspire Australian kids to what is possible and begin a long term relationship between the two cultures”.
Chinese acrobatics have a worldwide reputation for being the leaders in this art form. Acrobatic Allstars proves no exception and offers Australian audiences the opportunity to be inspired by China’s most engaging and ‘pocket sized’ acrobatic sensations. |
