The Australian Institute for Performing Arts (AIPA) is proud to offer passionate singers and dancers the opportunity to express their own ‘Glee’ and the joy of self-expression and creativity, in a unique project entitled “Expressions”. Performers with be given the opportunity to rehearse a show in Sydney, Australia and then travel to LA to perform it and take classes with industry leaders who will inspire them and teach them new and exciting techniques and enable them to express their individuality and talent in an encouraging and supportive environment.

This programme has been designed for teenagers and young adults who live with a disability.

The program is for Australian performers between the ages of 14 – 35. The group will perform a show at various exciting venues. They will also have an opportunity to perform with other teenagers who will be on tour and make up other GLEE Club Australia casts. Everyone will tour together and work together – which should be a rewarding experience for all.

After a successful re-launch two weeks ago, the SoundWaves African Drumming workshops have begun again. The workshops are still at the SA Folk Centre, on the corner of South Road and George Street, Thebarton, but to better suit the core workshop members, the workshops have been moved to Saturdays at 11am. The next workshop will be on Saturday 9th July, and every four weeks after that.

The workshops will focus on beginning techniques for a while so it will be easy to catch up if you haven’t attended before. The workshops will be structured so there is plenty for both beginners and more experienced drummers to learn and enjoy. Drums will be provided, but you may also bring your own. The venue is disability accessible, there is plenty of parking and tea and coffee are available.

Contact Andrew Ellis in advance if you wish to attend because numbers are limited and drums have to be supplied. Call 0419 821 985.
