Salvador Dali


Salvador Dalí: Liquid Desire is the first comprehensive retrospective of the work of Salvador Dalí ever to be staged in Australia and is exclusive to the National Gallery of Victoria as the sixth exhibition in the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series.

This exhibition was fantastic. I went with the year 10 students at my placement school. The students spent about 45 minutes in the exhibition and wanted to go down the street to shop. It wasn't something I expected. They enjoyed the exhibition but the the city captivate them more. If I take student from the country again I would do it differently. One important part would be a sheet of question for the students to answer or explore.

Kyneton Theatre Company

On Saturday 1st August I went to the play Black Rock, presented by the Kyneton Theatre Company. The cast mainly featured your secondary school students who are members of the group outside school hours. The play was convincing entertaining although 'dark'. There wasn't many in the audience however the play was presented in a very professional way.
I have followed the Kyneton Theatre Company for about 20 years enjoying many plays and show stopper musical evenings. My daughter also was a member. During those performances my job was to make costumes, put on make up and video the event. The theatre is an old blue stone church. The ballet schools use the theatre sometimes to hold their annual concerts.
