SUMMARY:Freedom Ride - a Play by Kinetic Energy
DESCRIPTION:From the creative talent who brought you Empire\, Kinetic Energy Theatre Company brings you: Freedom Ride. \nThe story of the FREEDOM RIDE is relevant to the following curriculum areas: History\, Legal Studies\, Drama\, English and Aboriginal Studies. It is an historical re-enactment informed by the language and cultural behaviour of the time\, and draws attention to the question of racism today\, and elements of racism in the Australian Constitution. \nThe play is based on the following major sources: Professor Ann Curthoys’ book “Let’s Have A Freedom Ride”\, Darce Cassidy’s audio recordings of the events\, and Charles Perkins’ biography “A Bastard Like Me”. From this material\, combined with music\, jive-talk and other cultural aspects of the time\, Kinetic Energy Theatre Co’s co-directors have created a powerful and entertaining interactive play. \nWe show the lead up and preparation by the Sydney University students\, and then zoom in on events transpiring in the town of Walgett. We portray the key people who were there: the great Aboriginal leader Charles Perkins\, the famous Aboriginal woman Pat Walford (best known for her “I’m black and I’m proud of it” speech in Walgett)\, student leaders Ann Curthoys and Jim Spigelman\, Wendy Golding and Darce Cassidy. Several small parts are played by volunteers chosen and briefed on the day\, such as the Aboriginal ex-serviceman who is denied entry into the Walgett RSL\, or the manager of the Oasis Hotel-Motel who is afraid to lose business if he allows ‘blacks & whites to mix’. There are eight volunteer parts in all. This active participation is highly educational and has an immediate\, positive effect on the audience: the story becomes their story. \nWe look at the tools of the global peace movement: non-violent direct action\, as initiated by Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King. And we are left with some nagging questions: What was achieved? Does the reality lived by Aboriginal people today correspond with their rights won then\, and since then? Are these achievements just on paper? What is indigenous struggle about now? \nBy bringing this famous event from our Australian history to life through drama and song\, our audience gains insight into what it is like to be marginalized and dispossessed\, and to be denied your human rights. It is a joyful and inspirational story of courage and conviction\, one that brought many Australians together in a shared cause. It taps into the courage needed to stand up for those rights\, and shows the importance of engagement and debate as instruments to overcome ignorance. It invites us all to be an active part of that debate. \nUN conventions support the rights of Indigenous Peoples: \nUnited Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\, 2007: Sets out the individual and group rights of indigenous peoples\, to their culture\, identity\, language\, employment\, health and education. \nUnited Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child\, 1989\, Article 30: Children have the right to learn and use the language and customs of their families\, whether these are shared by the majority of people in the country or not. \nVillage Space is a joint venture of Kinetic Energy Theatre Company and the educational branch of Catholic Mission (for their social justice & human rights curriculum)\, and is sponsored by Catholic Mission. Kinetic Energy has developed this interactive issue-based theatre format over the last 11 years and covered a range of social justice subjects. Our 2014 program comprises two plays\, namely “THE FREEDOM RIDE”\, and “WHERE IS MY HOME?” (about asylum seekers and refugees). These are available to schools\, universities\, targeted communities and conferences\, in NSW\, Queensland\, Victoria and Tasmania. \nContact Kinetic Energy: \nFor more information please phone our Kinetic Energy office: 02 9665 6489\nEmail: kineticenergy@iprimus.com.au\nCatholic Mission office: 02 9919 7821 (Jenny Collins-White)

SUMMARY:EMPIRE
DESCRIPTION:For the music lover and theatre enthusiast alike\, EMPIRE offers an engaging night out. \nThe Kinetic Energy Theatre Company’s has offered to put on a special performance of their gritty doco-drama for Council members and friends of the Sydney Peace Foundation. Tickets are $20/$10 at the door. \nWritten and created by Kinetic Energy Theatre Company’s co-directors Graham Jones & Jepke Goudsmit\, and performed by their twelve member troupe of actors and musicians: Drew Bourgeois\, Frank Dasent\, Angela Fieldhouse\, Jepke Goudsmit\, Robert Gray\, Jola Jones\, Graham Jones\, Saha Jones\, Lilli Pearse\, Floyd Robinson\, Roberto Quintarelli\, Billy Ward. \nEmpire tackles the questions arising from the leak of the Collateral Murder video and hundreds of thousands of secret US State Department cables by whistle-blower Bradley Manning to WikiLeaks. The play draws an arch right from the birth of the “Idea of America” to the US Empire’s present day excesses. \nTo address these issues Kinetic Energy have gone to two of the most eminent and elegant critics of the Empire – the writer activists Arundhati Roy and Noam Chomsky. Two of Roy’s recent political essays are the starting point: “The Loneliness of Noam Chomsky”\, and: “Confronting Empire”. Kinetic Energy adapted these essays for the stage and have laced them with Chomsky’s commentaries on the subject of Empire. Using contemporary documentary film technique\, we have woven dramatic reenactment together with narration\, video & audio footage\, and live music. \nThe play demonstrates the company’s unique style once described by Richard Glover in the SMH as: “Different to anything you’ll see elsewhere.” And by Paul McGillick in the Australian Financial Review as: ”Work with the kind of conviction and focus which fists you right between the eyes.” \nLimited seating. One night only! Please reserve your seats by phone or email. Pay cash at the door. \nTickets – Full: $20\, Concessions: $15/$10. Phone: 02 8313 9014 & 0415 391 533.

SUMMARY:Gold Medal to Stéphane Hessel
DESCRIPTION:On 2 May\, at the Australian Ambassador’s Residence in Paris\, the Sydney Peace Foundation will award a posthumous Gold Medal for Human Rights to Stéphane Hessel for his life-long contribution to building a more peaceful and just society. \nStéphane Hessel\, a German born Jew whose family fled to France\, became a fighter in the French Resistance where he was captured\, tortured and escaped execution by the Nazis. On returning to Paris\, Hessel became a diplomat and was a one of twelve members of the committee who drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As the French Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva\, Hessel promoted non-violent responses to conflict and made many stands against human rights abuses. In 2009 he published the Book “Time For Outrage” which sold 4.5 million copies in 35 countries and is credited with being the catalyst for Occupy Movements around the world. \nStéphane Hessel was originally selected by the Sydney Peace Prize Jury to be the 16th recipient of the Prize. Sadly\, on 6 March 2013\, at 95-years old\, Hessel passed away quietly in his sleep. \nFollowing an address by Chair Stuart Rees\, and a reception hosted by Australian Ambassador to France Ric Wells\, the Gold Medal will be presented to Hessel’s widowed wife Madame Christane Hessel-Chabry. \nThe Foundation hopes that this award will help broadcast Hessel’s words of outrage and hope\, and that his legacy will continue to spread and inspire non-violent protests around the world. \nSee photos and a write-up of the event here: https://sydneypeacefoundation.org.au/2013-stephane-hessel/
