The art of living creatively 2010

'The art of living creatively' is a one year course that takes people on a healing and creative journey using personal and artistic development.

It is based on Psychophonetics, Anthroposophy/Psychosophy and the expressive arts (pastel drawing, watercolour painting, sculpture, poetry and creative writing) and run by practitioners who have trained in psychotherapy/counselling both in Australia and in our sister college in South Africa.

We are now open for enrolements for 2010. At this stage we have limited numbers for the course, a maximum of 15 places (to ensure each participant gets the opportunity to work closely with the facilitators).

The art of living creatively is comprised of five modules:
• Restoring inner peace
• Soul drawing
• The art of relationship
• The healing power of sound
• The healing power of art

The course will run over four terms. The 7 x 3 hr classes (per term) are held on weekday evenings with 4 full day art workshops held on Saturdays throughout the year. The 2010 venue will be in Kew with four workshops in Abbotsford.

Cost: $2576

The Ten Tenors

When ten young opera students from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane, Australia, banded together to form what was then largely a corporate act, the group’s performances were few and far between and were essentially just a part-time affair, providing the members with a bit of money to help them through their studies.

“We joke about it now, but back in the day, The Ten Tenors was really just a fun way to earn a bit of extra beer money”, remarks Matthew Hickey, Producer and original group member. “It was all very informal and we could never understand why people would hire us to essentially fool around onstage”.

Indeed, it was exactly those hi-jinks that essentially became the secret of much of The Ten Tenors’ future success.
