FEVER - presented by Melbourne Workers Theatre
Final days . . . Must end Saturday, October 5th
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Where does the FEVER of the nation burn hottest?
FEVER aims to uncover aspects of our society that are complex, difficult
and painful to comprehend. It is vital that we count the cost of current
behaviour,
explore the darker nature of our past and call to account those who are
responsible. FEVER pushes beyond the boundaries of realism, staking out
its territory in another direction entirely; one that uses allegory,
epic theatre, surrealism and music-theatre to investigate the burning
issues of race, class, culture and environment.
"Fever ... is stimulating and challenging ... its appeal lies in its
courageous lack of certainty ... it is a deeper and more profound
exploration of the territory of Who's Afraid Of The Working Class? ...
its theatrical innovation and courage deserve the highest praise." -
Helen Thomson, The Age
"Fever is one of the most thought-provoking and incisive theatre
experiences of the year" - David Crofts, The Melbourne Times
"Melbourne Workers Theatre has emerged as one of the most compelling
creative forces in Australian theatre today." -B.News September 2002

WAKING UP THE NATION
Journal of the Freedom Bus - film screening
----------------------------------------------------
In the summer of 2002 a group of people, concerned about the
mistreatment of asylum seekers inside Australia's detention centres
decided to embark on a 2
months/15 000 kilometres journey around the continent. >VILLAWOOD
>MARIBYRNONG >WOOMERA >PERTH >PORT HEDLAND >CURTIN and back.
Their mission: visiting people inside the camps and creating more
awareness among the population, especially in rural towns. Waking Up The
Nation takes you on this inspiring journey, and introduces you to many
of the hundreds of people still incarcerated. It also exposes some of
the mistreatments at the hands of the private corporation, which runs
the camps, and the government who supports it.
"One of the most significant events for people in their time in
detention." - Dr. Zachary Steele - Psychiatrist, describing the Freedom
Bus journey.

ONE GLOBAL MARKET UNDER GOD - The Bullshit Boys
A Forum With THOMAS FRANK
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extreme capitalism, market populism and the end of economic democracy.
At no other moment in history have the values of businessand the
corporation been more nakedly and arrogantly in the ascendant. Combining
popular intellectual history with a survey of business culture Thomas
Frank launches a counterattack against the onslaught of market
propaganda. Mounted with weapons of common sense it is lucid and tinged
with anger, betrayal and a certain hope for the future.
Thomas Frank is a major figure in cultural criticism today. He has
written for The Washington Post, The Nation, In These Times and other
periodicals. He is the current editor of Baffler Magazine. His books
include The Conquest of Cool, Commodify Your Dissent, and the recent and
highly acclaimed, One Market Under God. Frank will be joined by John
Hinkson, editor of Arena Journal.
"A dazzling manifesto for the ragtag anticapitalist movement and an
unassailable counterpoint to the smugness of the prevailing share option
elite . . . A seductive mixture of wit and polemic . . . This is a voice
- informed, angry, egalitarain." - The Observer
"Frank's argument is an important contribution to the discussion about
how to rein in corporate power . . . One Market Under God documents a
huge - and extraordinarily successful - propaganda campaign that has
taught millions of people to stop thinking of themselves as citizens,
and even as workers, and to begin thinking of themselves primarily as
shareholders." - Naomi Klein, author of No Logo
Presented by Globalism Institute (RMIT) & RMIT School of Applied
Communications
