Propaganda By Jo-Ann Lancaster and Simon Yates
Details:
After years of touring their avant-garde circus company around the world, one of Albury’s best-kept secrets – Acrobat – is taking a step out of their South Albury back yard into the Butter Factory. Utilising disciplined physical skills, crude production and calculated self-derision, Acrobat has a unique and unpredictable approach to theatre. Founded by Simon Yates and Jo-Ann Lancaster, Acrobat has toured extensively throughout Europe, Britain, Ireland, Singapore, Brazil and Australia. Following this world premiere season, Propaganda will marshal in Melbourne, then Europe, then the rest of the world one show at a time.
A one day Show 'n' Shine with 60 Chrysler vehicles in attendance on the bank of the Murray River at Hovell Tree Reserve in Albury, NSW. In the following years the Show 'n' Shine was expanded to a two day event and included a number of drives or 'Runs' to the local tourist attractions and wineries. A swap meet was added to the show in 1995 and has been successful in attracting specialist Chrysler vendors from across Australia. Entrants and enthusiasts alike now travel to Albury in the hope of finding that elusive part. 'Chryslers on the Murray' has grown continually over the last 15 years by being professionally run, even though all work is carried out by volunteers. Costs are kept to a minimal amount through sponsorship and subsidies from the Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club. In 2008 over 550 entrants made the trek to the Albury Wodonga area to celebrate the chrysler breed, making it the largest Chrysler show in the southern hemisphere. A mighty effort considering our club is the smallest Chrysler Club in Australia.
