Moatylicious January

Happy 2010 theatre and filmers!


Hope you have all been making peace and love out of your summer holidays and made it through without too much sunburn!

My name is Anneli and I’m looking forward to being your friendly office lady for 2010! I like making quirky badge slogans, milk chocolate, youtubing Never Mind the Buzzcocks, white chocolate, Evelyn Waugh, dark chocolate… anyone with similar interests is always welcome at my desk with a cup of tea!


The Student Theatre and Film Office is once again open and I look forward to seeing you all saunter through the door before too long to introduce yourselves for the first time or share a long overdue hello!

Many of you have got caught up in the whirlwind of Moat already, for those of you who haven’t felt the breeze yet or simply can’t get enough of it, the best is yet to come and we need your help to make the most of it!

The onstage action is underway and rehearsals are charging ahead, so it’s time to turn on the lights and music! Anyone who is interested in being a hero this Moat need not look further, whether you have teched a show before or are new to the knobs of the soundboards, we need lighting and sound technicians to help with all the Moat shows and would love to hear from everyone who has an interest in this! Get in touch with me at the office on 9479 1198 and I’ll hook you up =)

Zoey Dawson and the cast of The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet are looking for a stage manager! If you fancy delving into the best hideaways of Melbourne looking for the perfect costumes and are good at keeping tabs on things, call the office or email Zoey at
zoeys.new.email@gmail.com.

James Crafti is looking to fill an acting spot in Rope! It is a female part of about medium-size and the director hopes to cast the role asap. For more information and to register your interest, please call James directly on 0403 943 529.

Artists, photographers and visual communicators listen up! There will be an art exhibition running though this year’s Moat Festival! Anyone with a portfolio of work behind them or a lone masterpiece ready for display is urged to get in touch with me!

Starting afresh with a new moniker, the Moat Festival’s music day has been re-christened Sundowner! Band-booker Laurence Hewson dreams of putting together one massive program with as many different styles and performers as you can imagine! If you’re a singer, a songwriter, part of a band or a solo-act, a DJ or just have an interest in music – no matter if it’s Sinatra in your heart or Zeppelin on your belt, get in touch cause if you love music this is going to be your day of days! If your mind’s already made up and you want in, give Laurence a call or text on 0401 029 808 and start talking microphones! Otherwise give me a call and I’ll help you make ready!

All things Moat aside for the moment, The Player returns this year with a new format and new opportunities for writers and artists alike to get involved! Syar and I are looking to get a dedicated team together to run the publication but would also love to hear from anyone interested in contributing articles, reviews, photos, cartoons or artworks to individual issues!! Submissions to the first issue are due at 3pm on February 15 and the whole shebang will be out in time for O-week so get onto us today!

Badge-making tools are on their way and posters are in the works so drop by and check out what’s going on!

Looking forward to working with you all this year
