“Commedia per te” ... for you
“a poco a poco” ...little by little - Combined schools drama students
Directed by Tony KishawiA group of drama students drawn from the Brisbane district high schools combine to produce 30 minutes of Commedia mayhem and madness. 'Little by little' you'll be seduced by their charm and talent into the magical world of Commedia, where you, the audience, become a snippet of the scene, a piece of the plot, a magnet for the mayhem.
“Glue” - Birdwing Lane Theatre
Written by Karlo Bran
Directed by Ben Cornfoot, with Clint Bolster and Tammy Weller.George has invented glue! He's convinced it's going to change the world, but his wife Wendy just isn't impressed. Ah, the trials of matrimony. This could be a short but sweet snapshot of the trials and tribulations of married life, a comment on how modern society stifles our creative juices, a condemnation of monogamy, or just ten minutes of funny stuff. Featuring Commedia-trained actors (who kept changing the lines), Birdwing Lane Theatre presents an absurdist, random, off the wall comedy that will stick in your head like... Glue!
“Commedia Viva” - Commedia Academy of Australia
Never heard of Commedia? Well, you're not alone! Now is your chance to meet the characters of the Commedia dell’Arte; agile Arlecchino, lazy Pulcinella, blustering Capitano, miserly Pantalone, pompous Dottore, the swooning Sweethearts, and others.
Learn historical background and social context of early theatre as you laugh your way through comedic skits and scenarios - entertaining for both the novice and the expert

Dall'Italia all'Australia (Queensland Premier)
In 1924, the Italian film director Angelo Drovetti embarked on an epic 8,000-nautical-mile voyage with his movie camera.
The result, Dall’Italia All’Australia (From Italy to Australia), is regarded by many as the most comprehensive film ever made of a migrant voyage. ‘
Dall’Italia All’Australia’ chronicles the voyage of the Regina d’Italia (Queen of Italy) - one of three passenger ships first built for the Lloyd Sabaudo Line at the turn of last century.
The film showcases the panoramic views witnessed by Italian, Yugoslav, Greek, Arabic and Jewish migrants as they stood atop the deck of the old steamer during their seven-week world odyssey from Genoa to Australia, by way of Egypt and Sri Lanka, arriving in Brisbane in September 1924.

Official Launch of the Accademia Italiana della Cucina.
The Accademia Italiana della Cucina is a not for profit organization, founded in Milan in 1953 by a small group of high ranking representatives of various organizations, among whom Orio Vergani. Their objective, which was considered almost a moral obligation, was to take immediate action to protect a cultural heritage of great importance; that of Italian cooking threatened by the historical and social events of the 1950’s. In 2003, the Minister for Cultural Affairs recognized the well documented cultural merits of the Accademia by granting it the denomination, “Cultural Institution”, thus placing it amongst the largest and most important Italian cultural organisations, often laden with over a century of experience, rich in past and present glories, bearers of experience and wisdom in the culture arena.
Join in the celebrations as we launch the most important Italian Gastronomical Association in Queensland. Gusto da Gianni plays host to the Accademia's inaugural dinner. Enjoy a dinner and matching wines, along with entertainment. $89 per person.

The Stanthorpe/Granite Belt area is home to many Italian families and the teaching of the language has brought the Italian culture into the schools.
The High School has a sister school relationship with a high school in Cividale, in the Friuli region and the students visit on a host family basis in each country.
This year, Stanthorpe High School will host the Cividale students in July and the Italian students will return the hospitality when we travel to their city in September, before touring Italy to experience other regions and visiting the famous Italian icons.
The Italian Week producers are assisting in fundraising via these events for the Italian Immersion Students of the Stanthorpe High School.

ITALIAN WEEK MERCHANDISING - CD 'SUITCASE SERENATE' I VIAGGIATORI
I Viaggiatori play lively, old time Italian folk music from the 19th century and beyond. It`s romantic, poignant, frenzied ,sweet and earthy. It`s a place where memory sits down with imagination to share a good coffee and a glass of grappa then have a good yarn.
It`s also a place where accordions, clarinets, bouzoukis, mandolins and tambourines dance with sensual, earthy vocals.
Drawn from over 400 years of storytelling, these songs from Italy and Greece tell of harvests, war and revolution, factory protests, seductions, weddings, funerals and the brave act of migration. The rich melodies make your feet dance and heart sway with abandon.
They present music they performed for the silent Italian documentary Dall` Italia All` Australia.

DVD ‘...Arrivi ... Partenze’
Following over a Century of history of migration to Australia “...Arrivi ... Partenze” offers now a new reading of the migration phenomenon in XXI Century Australia.
The dance-theatre piece “...Arrivi ... Partenze” intends to explore the issue of movement and its various meanings: necessary condition for the human being, expression form and communication medium; need of a group resulting in nomadism and migration. The multimedia performance incorporates the use of music, dance, acting, video projections and various other art forms.
“...Arrivi ... Partenze” traces the path of the soul – unchanged through the Centuries – that the individual has to undergo whilst moving in a physical-geographical dimension during his migration process; the piece stages a variety of physical intersecting paths reflecting the complex empirical reality of our days.
Duration: 50 min
