No seats, no problem!

You’ve heard the one about the pub with no beer? How about the theatre with no chairs?

Those of you with long associations with The Rose Centre may remember our seats were re-covered just three years ago. Well after only two years they were showing very significant wear and tear and, after a long chat with the fabric suppliers and upholsterers, it was decided they would both redo their work for free to make up for what looks like it might have been some weird fault in the creation of the fabric. The upshot is, there’s nothing with an audience in our theatre before their return on February 13. That said, in the period they are gone, we are filming part of an independent feature film, a dance recital, and taking photographs, none of which need seats, just a really dark space!

How can you use the Rose Centre?

We’re looking for new activities for The Rose Centre, things that fit the wider idea of a community centre. Some ideas might include:

- Book Club

- Social networking nights

- Scrabble Club

- Faith-based gatherings

- Photography Clubs

- Card Games Club

- Art experiences

- Market Days

- Exercise classes

- Language classes

 

An Unusual Art Event

Put aside March 23! Around 4pm, The Rose Centre will put on an art event that can involve you and your families at Narrow Neck beach. Acclaimed sand artist David Hilliam (Google David Hilliam beach tagger) will create a beach art right there in the sand. Join us for a piece of fun and art for all. Just come and watch, or put your hand up for David to have you be part of the art rendering team. This is a 100% free event. Just show up, bring your own refreshments and of course the Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap SunSmart suggested behaviour is highly recommended! We look forward to seeing you there.

Improv for your kids, April School Holidays

The 15th to 18th of April sees the team from The Improv Bandits here at The Rose Centre for an amazing school holiday programme. Your kids will learn the art of improve and then on Thursday the 18th you’ll get to enjoy their week’s work with them at a show they will stage for you. A great week of fun and endeavour. Monday to Wednesday they work with their tutors from 9am to 3pm and then on Thursday the show is 5.30 to 6.30pm. A fun way to release energy. The price is amazing. It’ll be less than $100 per kid, possibly a lot less depending on our application for sponsorship which has not been finalised yet. But mark this down as the holiday programme that week for your interested tribe members.
