| “The World in Focus” promises to
be a terrific experience of cabaret and comedy. The production
is put on by the Focus 2000 drama group and supported by the Cerebral
Palsy Society. The performance is on Saturday 29th November ’08
(6.30pm -9.30pm) at the Corban’s Estate, Mau Theatre. Tickets
$20 each (CP members $10).
The concept of “The World in Focus” was sparked by
the very enthusiastic and popular Focus drama group, directed
by Paula Crimmens. After a few months the group grew in confidence
and gradually talk of putting on a more informal presentation
gained momentum. A common theme emerged amongst the core group
of how art had become a central part in their lives. They wanted
to somehow convey its significance.
Soon the talk was over and the action begun. Rehearsals were
full of ideas on how to impress upon the audience, feelings, which
expressed released freedom, when painting.
The strong theme of art and painting and people wanting to communicate
the experience of painting was refined. The ideas evolved from
there. Anthony's poems were adapted for the stage and so were
Marilyn’s books of writing. Early on it was clear that Lynette
was the most natural storyteller. Often humorous always entertaining,
Lynette needed space to tell her tales.
The end result is a kaleidoscope of entertainment including comedy,
classical guitar, a silent art auction and the actor’s short
films.
