Young and Restless Productions are seeking an AV technician to work on the provocative theatre show Hitlerhoff, at the 2009 Adelaide Fringe festival. The show opens on Tuesday 10 march (bump-in: 2.30 - 6.30pm), and closes on Sunday 22 March (bump-out 10.30pm - 12.30pm).
Hitlerhoff runs from 9.15pm - 10.25pm; there will be time to see shows before and after this every night. They will fly the person up from Melbourne on Friday 6 March, and return on Monday 23 March.
The AV technician will be required to operate Grid, a Mac program for video and audio clips. This is not rocket science, but they need someone reliable, sharp with cues - and not scared of technology!
Flights and accommodation with be covered for someone coming from Melbourne; for someone based in Adelaide, they can offer a small payment equivalent to this amount (approx $400).
This is a great opportunity to work on a popular and critically-acclaimed show, schmooze around with your Artiste Pass, and make contacts at the world's second-largest Fringe Festival. Snap it up!
Please contact Tom Doig on 0416 497 311 ASAP if you are interested in this opportunity!

Founded in 1995 and based in Toronto, Canada, Broken Pencil is a website and a print magazine published three times a year. It is one of the few magazines in the world devoted exclusively to underground culture and the independent arts. We are a great resource and a lively read! A cross between the Utne Reader, an underground Reader's Digest, and the now defunct Factsheet5, Broken Pencil reviews the best zines, books, websites, videos, and artworks from the underground and reprints the best articles from the alternative press. Also, ground breaking interviews, original fiction, and commentary on all aspects of the independent arts. From the hilarious to the perverse, Broken Pencil challenges conformity and demands attention.
Hey, want to say something about our magazine, let us know about an upcoming event, send in a zine or website or CD for review or maybe do a piece for the mag? Don't be shy! We want to hear from you. Send us an email at editor@brokenpencil.com, or a letter at PO Box 203, Station P, Toronto, On, M5S 2S7 Canada, or call us at 416-204-1700.
Thanks to all who put their hands up for the Panellist callout, as always we were stunned by the amount of interesting writers reading our newsletter, delighted with how many people were keen to be part of EWF 2009 and a little surprised by the amount of people who didn’t read the brief.
From here it’s a giant jigsaw puzzle of who would work well for which panel balancing the demands of each panel with the need to have writers of different styles and forms and genres on each panel. Don’t despair if you haven’t heard from us yet, we will be umming and erring for another month yet and as some of last years panellist call out people found out today, we have long memories.
Three quick notes to finish off with this week.
*/_(The event formerly known as)_/**_ Scrabble_*
Long time Emerging Writers’ Festival fans will know we do a performance event called Scrabble. Last year we did the works of Paul Kelly in a night of radical word based reinterpretations. This year we are…well let’s not give everything away.
Anyway the issue is we are changing the name. Not due to any multinationals telling us to do so but just because it confuses some people who come to the event and are annoyed they can’t see a triple word score anywhere.
What shall we call it? Well…surprisingly for such an innovative festival we are stumped. Thus we turn to you our loyal e-newsletter list.
We are looking for suggestions for the new name for the /(The event formerly known as) /Scrabble. It needs to be snappy, short, maybe linked to the fact we perform lyrics and of course original.
The winning entry gets a double pass to /(The event formerly known as)/ Scrabble on Thursday the 28^th of May at BMW Edge
Competition closes Friday the 20th of February. Email it to director@emergingwritersfestival.org.au with the heading ‘I’ve got a much better idea’
*_Program Booklet_*
Each year for the festival we print a wonderful little A6 booklet which details the whole festival, has wonderfully creative bios and occasionally even a vaguely inspirational message from the me. We see it as the passport to the festival and with this years festival being ten days with over twelve different events its going to be the must have item to plan your festival.
Unfortunately this wonderful tome rarely ends up in the hands of those who want it. We don’t know why but the 3000 or so we print disappear, with people who come to the festival thinking our two page download _is_ the program.
This year we have had enough and have put aside a little money for direct mailing. So if you would like the program mailed to you, arriving the day the ticket sales go online on April the 27^th , please email your name and postal address (with postcode) in the body of your email to info@emergingwritersfestival.org.au . Please title your email Program. (Also don’t reply directly to this e-newsletter. It doesn’t go anywhere useful when you do).
Also we will not be posting internationally.
