Join us this week for another great Tamar Sunrise meeting with Guest  Speaker  Natalie De Vito Festival Director, Junction Arts Festival

After touring to Australia’s great festivals, Natalie fell in love with Australia and relocated to Tasmania from Toronto, Canada in January 2011 to help establish the Junction Arts Festival.  As an independent creative producer, curator, consultant and writer, she has worked for over 15 years in senior positions across the visual and media arts, theatre and performance art in Canada and abroad.  Most recently she was the Artistic Producer of Mammalian Diving Reflex, one of Canada’s leading performance art companies, where she developed and produced large-scale performances and events across 14 countries, working with the local communities to incorporate kids to seniors into their live performances as active collaborators. 

In 2009, Natalie held the prestigious position of Deputy Commissioner for Canada at the 51st Venice Biennale, held in Venice Italy, presenting the filmic work of Mark Lewis. She worked for the Ontario Arts Council, a provincial arts funding agency as Acting Media and Visual Arts Officer and following as Artistic Producer to create a participatory arts festival across 5 regional cluster cities in Central Ontario on behalf of the Ontario Government. Natalie has worked in the visual arts as Head of Development and Marketing at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, and Co-Director of Mercer Union Centre for Contemporary Art, where she established her curatorial work internationally, and began her interest in site-specific and public installations and live art. 

The 2012 Junction Arts Festival opens Wednesday, August 22 to Sunday, August 26, 2012.

Fawlty Towers Social Outing!

21/7/2012

On Friday 20 July, Alex organised a members' and friends function with dinner at Mekong and tickets to the Encore Theatre Company's production of Fawlty Towers.  It was freezing outside but lovely and warm in the restaurant and theatre.

Thanks Alex for organising the night - it was a terrific, the food was delicious (the doors kept causing a few laughs aswell...) and the  company great..  Fawlty Towers was very funny and very enjoyable - for those who haven't  seen it yet you should definitely go before it closes on the 28 July.

Keep an eye out for the next social function...

Inspiration at RYLA by Kurtis Alexander

18/7/2012

0 Comments

 
Talk about an event of epic proportions!  Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) at Camp Clayton.  This five and a half day "marathon", aimed at young adults aged between 18 and 30, involved various seminars, workshops, team activities and adventures.

The activities we participated in were aimed at building leadership attributes, developing self-awareness and improving communication and problem solving skills.

RYLA 2012 certainly achieved this!

We heard from many inspirational keynote speakers, including Stan Alves (ex AFL coach) and Robyn Moore (the voice of Blinky Bill turned professional speaker!). Although different in their presentations, both delivered powerful messages to a room full of young adults.

Stan spoke about leadership qualities and self development and shared some great AFL insights.  I found this particularly impressive, given he coached the team I follow, the MIGHTY SAINTS!

Robyn facilitated a seminar about dealing with adversity and achieving the most from life.  This was a message delivered exceptionally well, given her involvement in numerous charities, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Although a heavy message at times, Robyn inspired us when talking about some of the ‘wishes’ she has been involved in granting.  This included the story of a young boy who wanted to go fishing on a boat and actually catch a fish.  The Make-A-Wish Foundation made that happen alright ... They had a diver under the boat with a bag full of them!  Each time that rod went in, out came another fish.  How amazing!

Some of the team activities we participated in included rock-wall climbing; high wire challenges, up in the air 10+ meters, making it from one point to another on large cables (harnessed in thankfully); obstacle courses and spending an afternoon at the Quite Cone, practicing some relaxation techniques.  There were too many tasks to name but they all held a common goal – achieving great outcomes through team work.

All in all, this was an action-packed week which I thoroughly enjoyed and learnt from.  It is great to see the Rotary clubs collaboratively put on such a great event and invest in young Tasmanians.  If you ever get a chance to attend – take it!

I’d like to thank the Rotary Club of Tamar Sunrise for sponsoring me to attend this event.
