Festival programme - Monash Student Association

About The Container Festival
The Container Festival is a bold new enterprise from Monash Uni Student Theatre—
a dynamic multi-artform, multi-venue arts and events festival coming to Monash in August 2013!
Shipping containers set up as performance venues, a vibrant “Hub” and lounge bar located
in the MUST theatre, “miniMUST” and other surprising spaces filled with brand new work
of all shapes and sizes. Audiences will experience music, dance, theatre, visual art, games,
burlesque, interactive performances, poetry, puppetry, exhibitions and more!
The festival launches in The Hub (MUST space) on Friday the 2nd of August: 6pm ‘til late
with free entry. Featuring an impressive line-up of festival artists, guests will get a sneak
preview of the diverse work on offer, meet the artists and enjoy a sensational party! There are a number of ways to enjoy festival events:
• By purchasing a Festival Pass which allows entry into any festival event—that’s over 200 options—with a booking ($50)
• By purchasing a Day Pass which allows entry into any festival event on a certain date, with a booking ($15)
• By purchasing individuals tickets ($2–$8)
• By attending Free Events and relaxing in The Hub
Bookings can only be made at the ticketing container just outside The Hub during festival
hours (5pm–10pm).
Festival Passes ($50) may also be purchased via trybooking.com. They must then be physically collected from the ticketing container before bookings can be made.
Why not peruse the festival program, create a timetable for yourself, then book tickets at The Hub?
Audiences attending performances in containers will be collected from The Hub.
Monash – the place to experience art and entertainment this August!

@The Helix
%Entry by donation at the container door, no bookings required
Much of what we do in life can hold Doubt. Doubt, which is often driven by fear
- fear which can solidify and debilitate. We all know that Doubt and fear are
not tangible, yet they are certainly real. We have taken the fluid and ephemeral
material of water and solidified it in a typographical ice sculpture in order to
destroy it. This project marks a beginning. A beginning which commences with
the literal and metaphorical annihilation of Doubt in order that we proceed with
boldness and freedom.

An exploration of human innocence. Inspired by mime, dance, German
Expressionism and our own imaginations, this piece aims to question and
deconstruct the barriers that are built around children as they develop. Those that inhibit them from being their creative, imaginative selves and force
them into rigid, socially accepted patterns of behaviour. What would happen if
these barriers are torn away? Is the result a liberated and open human being or something primal and twisted?

Created and performed by James Jackson.
An evening of sultry tunes, sexy dance breaks and dynamic shapes cut into the space like so many stray chickens. The first two rows may get wet, with
tears of joy and laughter. Am I offensive? Try me. I Am Offensive is a humorous
insight into notions of hyper-sensitivity in the theatre and wider world. Written
and considered with great care (I’m quite serious) to create a piece of work that
is conceptually sound. What I’m trying to say is – it’s not just me being offensive,
it has a very solid point.

Papa G and The Starcats are a new-age funk and soul band straight outta the ghetto of the Monash Uni music course.
One particularly funky Wednesday, some cool cats happened to be in close
proximity of each other, instruments in hand. On this day, there was a groove
that needed playing. Some say they spent seven months in a music-induced
coma getting sustenance from maccas runs, and some say James Brown was
divinely involved, helping them fine tune their funkiness. Whatever the true
story is, it’s not known to mere mortals. Rest assured that when Papa G counts
in, The Starcats will surely funk shit up.

@The HUB
%$5–No pre-bookings
Hosted by Nick Fry.
I would like—if I may—to take you on a strange journey. It seemed a fairly
ordinary night when Brad Majors and his fiancée Janet Weiss... two ordinary,
healthy kids... left Denton to visit a Dr. Everett Scott, ex-tutor, and now friend to
them both. It’s true there were dark storm clouds: heavy, black and pendulous.
It’s true also that the spare tyre they were carrying was badly in need of some
air—but they being normal kids and on a night out… It was a night out they were
to remember for a very long time. This Container Festival, The Rocky Horror
Picture Show will be played on the big screen. Dress up, slip into those size 11
heels, bring your newspapers and stale toast, because we are doing this baby
to the tee. Prizes will be awarded throughout the night for those of you with the
true heart of a Transylvanian.

Max Attwood is a winner. Or at least that’s the attitude he projects. Never mind
the countless failures he’s experienced in his life, Max knows that the true key to

Using his uniquely affable style of comedy, Max will explore romance,
happiness, and what it truly means to love yourself, even as you self-medicate
with anti-depressants.
