The Torch The crew who developed the "The Essentials" and "Mechtron" are currently working on their next community theatre production. This is the third in a series of projects exploring issues effecting the lives of people living in late 20th Century Australia. Based on verbal accounts from ambulance officers and victims of domestic violence, "The Essentials" exploring the nature of power and the abuse of power. Set against the background of the restructuring of the Victorian Ambulance service was a graphic portrayal of domestic violence and the misuse of power. Set against the school closures of the early 1990, Mechtron examined the destruction of the Victorian education system, the inappropriate use of technology to control people and the destruction of our sense of community. Under the auspices of the Ecumenical Migration Centre and supported by a wide range of migrant, welfare and educational bodies, The Torch will explore Australia's cultural identity, challenge past and present codes of race relations, affirm the spirit of reconciliation and promote a dynamic vision of future human relations in this country. see http://203.43.134.210 for more details An Invitation The team that brought you the controversial "The Essentials" and the highly successful "Mechtron" are firing up the next project and invite you to join them when they light the match to ignite����..
