Embrace Life Festival

Event Date: 22/03/2015, 10:30 am

A boutique festival to celebrate local through wellness, art & music
Our Embrace Life community is all about consciousness, creativity and collaboration.

We deliver our boutique festivals to celebrate local through wellness, art and music; providing a platform for the expression of the soul and to facilitate a meeting place where collectively we can explore, discover and ground the next piece of the tapestry, called life.

Embrace Life stands for being present, practicing gratitude and every day invites you to enjoy a life full of joy, love and happiness.

Our vision is to contribute to a better planet, where people can live according to their purpose, are able to be their authentic self, take responsibility for their mindfulness, physical well-being and how they turn up in the world, creating and living a life full of true prosperity.

We believe by providing a platform that allows for all levels of creative expression, connections are created, information is shared and we all become engaged in co-creating the life we live, and when a festival comes to your area you get the opportunity to connect, share and totally immerse yourself in whatever is calling you to experience, under the one roof.

Throughout the day, there are interactive and experiential workshops, local live music and stage performances, fashion designs and artwork, meditations, sound healings, body movement classes, access to a selection of treatments and readings, and gorgeous natural and handcrafted products.

Each location is different, as every community has its own unique energy and we want to bring this out and celebrate it, so you will find that no festival will be exactly the same, we are more than a festival more a way of life, and its time you come along and Embrace It!

Seascapes And Pictures

Event Date: 21/03/2015, 07:00 pm

Seascapes & Pictures with Strathfield Symphony
Strathfield Symphony’s premiere concert for 2015 celebrates the power of music to evoke images with two of the greatest symphonic programme works ever written. Featuring Debussy’s La Mer and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition audiences are invited to be carried away by the sound-pictures of these two great composers.

Debussy completed La Mer (The Sea), while staying on the channel coast. The musical “sketches” that make up the movements of the work include From Dawn to Midday on the Sea, Play of the Waves and Dialogue Between Wind and Waves. The great pianist, Sviatoslav Richter, underlines their impressionistic force, calling the music “..a miracle of natural reproduction; no, even more than that, sheer magic!”

Mussorgsky’s fantasy tour of the works of a favorite artist, his friend Viktor Hartmann, written in memoriam, promenades through a gallery, pausing to reflect on ten of Hartmann’s works. Based variously on paintings and sketches, 6 of the works that inspired the music have survived. These include a Ballet of Unhatched Chicks in their Shells, based on a design for theatre costumes, Catacombs, based on a sketch of a visit to the Paris Catacombs and The Great Gate of Kiev, based on a design for a city gate. Mussorgsky’s music has made Hartmann’s ideas, sketches and designs concrete, bringing them to life in a way Hartmann could never have aspired to on his own.

Following an acclaimed 2014 Season featuring Mahler’s Song of the Earth and a theatrical arrangement of Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Strathfield Symphony invites audiences to join us on a very special musical journey for 2015 featuring Dvorak’s Symphony No.7, Sibelius’ Symphony No.5, Stravinsky’s Petrushka and a Double Bass concerto from a very special soloist.

Free for Seniors & Carers on Sunday 22nd as part of NSW Seniors Week (bookings essential)

John Knowles - Storytiller

Event Date: 24/03/2015, 07:30 pm

OMFG. (Oh My Freaking Gosh!*) It’s all true…
The Laugh Stand at Harold Park Hotel presents John Knowles - Storytiller as part of the SMH Spectrum Now Festival.
Raconteur John Knowles has been hoarding bizarre family stories in his tiny head for half a century. Eg. Why does he have Johnny Carson’s fish? Where’s the $1,000,000 his Dad found? The somewhat eagerly awaited follow up to his Moosehead Comedy Award winning show Saddle Sore.
John Knowles has worked as a comedian, writer and chlorine salesman in Sydney ever since German sailors put him off the Hamburg Sud container ship he had called home for six weeks on the high seas.
John has ‘inadvertently’ sent three people to hospital with stab wounds. He has worked as a professional Kermit the Frog impersonator. His wife Ronelle is one of 16 chidren (plus a foster child). While John was working nights at a dubious family business called Swanky Franky’s, John’s dad was out drinking and deep-sea fishing with Johnny Carson and selling jet-skis to Haiti’s dictator, Baby Doc Duvalier. (The blue fin tuna in the photo above was caught by Carson on that trip - then stuffed and mounted.) John was expelled in grade 11 for sneaking a chainsaw into his high school and surprising a rival by cutting his guitar in two. A proud father himself, John constantly tries to make his four young children laugh, to which they often reply. “Don’t give up your day job Dad”. His day job is being their carer.
John hoards stories. He can’t help it. Name a topic. It’ll remind him of a true story. Most are funny, some are chilling and others just plain odd. The show is directed by George ‘Rev Slim Limits’ Catsi and presented by Dane Hiser and The Laugh Stand.

* 100% Profanity Free.

Plus! 2 for 1 meals on opening night (Tuesday 24 March)!

MARSHALL NAPIER - FREAK WINDS

Event Date: 17/03/2015, 07:30 pm

Experience one of the most celebrated Australian plays!
In a quiet neighbourhood on a dangerously stormy night, brash insurance salesman Henry Crumb invades the home of the reclusive Ernest and his mysterious companion Myra. Although Ernest seems like the perfect patsy, Henry's sales-pitch doesn't go as planned and the evening soon takes a strange and unsettling turn.

Red line Productions is proud to announce the long awaited revival of Marshall Napier's classic Freak Winds, one of the most celebrated Australian plays in recent years. This gothic thriller is returning to its original home at the Old Fitzroy Theatre where it first saw life over a decade ago (before going on to a number of highly successful international productions).

As in the acclaimed original, Marshall Napier (All My Sons, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, Love Child, The Moodys) is on board to act and direct, and will be joined by Anna Bamford (Wonderland) and Ben O’Toole (Love Child, The Water Diviner, Mojo).

“With colourful language and lurid humour, this black comedy opens up a portal to the pathological. Freak Winds scales the walls of our psychological defences, then drives right over them.”
- The Whitehorse Star (Canada)

“Freak Winds is the kind of story that makes Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher read like the goings on at a Girl Scout camp.”
- New York Theatre Wire
