Behind the Kelly Mask

Back

Suitable for

Children ages 6 and up, teens, adults

Come and watch a multi-media performance exploring the Kelly legend through music, film and movement theatre.   A multi-media performance by students from Braemar College that explores the contemporary resonance of the Kelly legend.   Using live music, film and movement theatre, and drawing on the work of Sidney Nolan and Peter Carey, this innovative and experimental performance asks: Why is a man in an iron mask still an icon of Australian identity?   The performance will be followed by a mini-forum on arts education.   This program is led by Dr Dave Kelman, artistic director of Western Edge Youth Arts. Dave has been in the role since 2006, directing widely acclaimed community youth theatre work and an innovative artists-in-schools program.
