Principal Partner of the

Education @ Glasshouse Program

a message

from our Partner

BY PETER TOWNSEND

At Coastline we

proudly offer

the same range

of personal and

business banking

services and

products that

any big bank

can, with one

huge difference,

we are customer

owned and 100%

committed to

investing in our

community.

The Education @ Glasshouse Program

shares similar values with Coastline,

in that we both exist to support the

people who live, work and interact in the

communities in which we operate.

Coastline sought the opportunity to

partner with the Education @ Glasshouse

program following the launch of our

Cubs and Kickstart accounts and our

School Visit Program in 2019.

2020 was a challenging year for all

businesses throughout the community

due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With

the Glasshouse being forced to close

its doors, the Education @ Glasshouse

program was put on hold. Coastline’s

partnership remained strong and we are

now able to assist the Glasshouse to offer

more shows and performances in 2021.

The partnership continues to present

opportunities to build positive

relationships with our local schools and

highlights our commitment to support

education outside of the classroom and

within the broader community.

We understand the importance of

giving students access to valuable

learning experiences which inspire

both creativity and innovation.

As Principal Partner, this exciting

opportunity allows us to play an

important role in providing access

for students to participate in the

unique and creative events hosted

within the program which promotes

cultural diversity.

The Glasshouse is a premier

destination showcasing world class

productions in performing arts that

boosts our local economy and tourism

sector in the Greater Port Macquarie

region.

Coastline has been operating in Port

Macquarie since 2001 and relocated to

our current site within the Settlement

City shopping centre in 2016. We are

excited to contribute to the longevity

and sustainability of the Education @

Glasshouse program and look forward to

its continued success.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER

CREATIVE YEAR

AT THE GLASSHOUSE!

The Glasshouse team works with our local schools and education providers

to cooperatively deliver a wide range of creative learning opportunities to our

youth. We hope that these experiences inspire the development of creative

adaptable minds - minds that will find solutions to the complex problems

that we face, both now and into the future.

So come and celebrate the arts and creativity in all its forms with us in 2021.

We offer a ‘Coastline Cubs School Visit Program’

which helps educate young students on how to best

manage their money and guide them to make sensible

and worthwhile financial decisions in the future.

Finance is non-intuitive and to work towards financial literacy, we believe

introducing students to the world of finance will prove to be a beneficial

endeavour. This program provides students with a hands-on practical learning

experience on the reality of banking and managing finances.

We offer ‘in-store’ visits and have added ‘in school’ visits this year as we

understand it is not always easy bringing a class into the branch (as exciting as

it is).

During the ‘in store’ visits, students experience transactional based activities

such as using a coin counting machine to exchange 5 x$1 coins into a $5 note,

which they keep, this initiative is supported by the Community Foundation.

Students are then engaged in a guided tour where they are shown the big safe,

spin money through the note counter and partake in fun money-based learning

activities assisted by our staff.

Our ‘in school’ visit program has been amended to be suitable for a classroom-

still involving REAL money and other engaging learning activities.

Each student is presented with a goodie bag and certificate at the conclusion

of the excursion.

The Coastline Cubs School Visit Program correlates with outcomes in the

NSW Education Standards Authority Mathematics syllabus and the Early

Years Learning Framework.

NATIONAL ART SCHOOL TOURING EXHIBITION

National Art (part one) presents a dynamic selection of artworks by 50 of

Australia’s most significant artists who studied at Australia’s leading art school –

Sydney’s National Art School.

As the National Art School approaches 100 years on its Darlinghurst site (1922–

2022) and over 175 years in operation, this exhibition celebrates some of the

extraordinary artists who trained at the institution over the past seven decades.

The exhibition features recent artworks and early formative works by key

alumni, and applauds the creative drive, skill and imagination of those who have

National Art (part one) presents diverse approaches to artmaking bound by a

common grounding in studio-based practice and a passionate commitment

to experimentation. The artists’ approaches vary considerably, from abstract

and expressive genres to experimentation with form, to cultural landscapes and

political perspectives, dada and the surreal, interior viewpoints and the everyday.

The work demonstrates the various disciplines taught at NAS; ceramics, painting,

photomedia, printmaking, sculpture, as well as inter-disciplinary practices

utilising digital media, assemblage, performance and artist books.

GLASSHOUSE PORT MACQUARIE AND PORT MACQUARIE PERFORMING ARTS

PRESENTS A VICTORIAN STATE BALLET PRODUCTION

THE LITTLE MERMAID

A full length classical ballet production of the traditional

fairy-tale story.

The Little Mermaid is a new work in the Victorian State Ballet repertoire

that follows the narrative based predominately on the story by

Hans Christian Andersen.

Choreography by Michelle Cassar de Sierra is a stunning display of

classical ballet and physical theatre that magically tell the tale of this much

loved story.

The story unfolds in another world where a young mermaid dreams of a

life beyond the sea. She bears witness to a shipwreck and comes to aid

a drowning sailor. Having saved his life and delivered him back to shore,

her curiosity is awakened, and throwing caution to the wind, she seeks

the council of the wise sea crone who advises her that all gifts come with

a warning yet grants her the power of transformation. Re-united with her

sailor, she struggles to conform to human ways and quickly discovers life

in a palace, chasing a prince, and navigating her new legs is not as easy as

she dreamed!

Come and see the magnificent and colourful costumes, sets and props

accentuating the beauty and splendour of this magical story, together with

the outstanding skill, artistry and technique of the Victorian State Ballet.

ARTIST BIO:

Walker has been exhibiting for over thirty years. Her career

has enjoyed the strong support of patrons Ann Lewis AO,

Nick Waterlow, OAM and Julian Beaumont OAM. She holds a

Bachelor of Fine Arts from the National Art School, Sydney, and

she has also studied in Italy and travelled extensively. She was

a finalist in the Paddington Art Prize (2017, 2013, 2010, 2008)

and winner of the prestigious Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing

Award (2014). Walker has held numerous exhibitions in both

Sydney and Melbourne, and her work features in several major

public and corporate collections including Macquarie Bank,

Australian Club, Sydney, Lismore Regional Gallery, Tweed

Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre and Bathurst

Regional Gallery, in addition to various private collections in

Australia, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, the United

Kingdom and the United States.


ARTIST IN RESIDENCE EXHIBITION

EMMA WALKER

The Gallery is dedicated to showcasing Australian contemporary

arts practice, creating opportunities for contemporary artists to

connect with our regional audiences and vice versa.

Emma Walker consistently and evocatively engages with the

natural world, looking at the patterns and rhythms that recur

in nature. Carving, sanding, digging, grinding, glazing, dripping

and scratching into layered timber, the artist creates a unique

process and approach to her sculptural wall paintings. From

ancient landscapes of sea, rock and sky to the microscopic

patterns and rhythms that power existence, her work moves

between the micro and the macro in a formative dance. As much

about the process of painting as they are with visually imprinting

the Australian environment, Walker’s unique imagery emerges

from a combination of experimentation and automaticity, each

mark growing from the next in a catalytic reaction that emulates

the geological occurrences that cause continents to move and

shorelines to reshape, etching on the faces of rocks, rivers and

ravines.

Our Artist in Residence program connects our community with

visiting artists. The Glasshouse Artist in Residency program

provides a working space for artists to develop their arts practice,

resulting in a new and exciting never before seen exhibition.

Australia’s touring regional production, to be announced

January 2021.

Children will audition and then train with a local choir leader.

On the day of the performance, children rehearse onstage with

the professional cast and orchestra, then perform in costume

that night. Side by side with some of Opera Australia’s finest

singers, the Children’s Chorus will feel the magic of live theatre

performance.

Through the rehearsal and performance process, children also

gain a wider understanding of opera, which we hope sparks

Animal Farm, one of the most enduring political

commentaries returns in a multi-award winning, criticallyacclaimed

governments while illustrating with stunning simplicity

how greed and power corrupts with devastating

consequences to all who yield.

Revolution has taken place at Manor Farm. The pigs have

assumed control and all the animals, fueled by enthusiastic

camaraderie and guided by a set of self-imposed rules, are

promised a better life free from the self-serving greed of

humans. However, it is not long until the rules that promised

equality and freedom become the shackles that bind the

animals once again.

Bring your students and introduce them to one of the most

controversial and studied political commentaries around live

on the Glasshouse stage.

THE LISTIES & CRITICAL STAGES TOURING

PERFORMANCE

A very cheeky, very clever, utterly irreverent riff on Hamlet –

made especially for children.

The Listies, maestros of children’s entertainment, have pulled

apart Shakespeare’s classic and glued it back together with

hilarious costumes, loads of silliness and plenty of interactivity.

Hamlet is already full of things kids love in a good story: ghosts,

castles, sword fights, bodily fluids and spooky stuff. Add to

the mix some supersonic gags and expertly timed stage magic

and you have a brilliantly disguised Shakespearean tragedy for

everyone aged five and over.

And that’s not all... expect bonus pillow fights, pirates, ninjas,

ninja pirates, aliens, ninja pirate aliens, zombies and a bunch of

other hilarious stuff as The Listies take kids and their adults on

a fun-filled hour of theatre. The only thing we can be sure of is

that everyone dies at the end – including the audience!

EDUCATION KITS AVAILABLE TO SCHOOLS

ATTENDING A PRODUCTION

Kits have been created to support schools engagement and build

connections with different Schools and Drama syllabi. The kits include

information sheets on Shakespeare and Hamlet, with discussion prompts

about the production and The Listies, to provide students context before

they experience the show.

Each kit will also include follow-up discussion points, workshop, and

drama activities to extend the experience for school groups.

POST PERFORMANCE IN-SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

Alongside the national tour of Hamlet: Prince of

Skidmark, Critical Stages Touring will be offering the

opportunity of a post-show in-school workshop. This

will be the ideal follow up to the production, with the

focus on inspiring students to develop their own ideas

for a ‘Shakespeare-remixed’ performance.

This will work especially well for any students studying

Shakespeare (or any classic text) within their classroom,

and this text can be the leaping-off point for imaginative

exercises, devising and improvisation activities,

culminating in presentation of short scenes.

Two 120-minute workshops are available to assist young

people to:

− Be inspired by live performance;

− Explore their own creative imagination;

− Use classic texts as a launching off point for their

imaginative exercises;

− Learn about improvisation and devising skills;

− Present short scenes in small groups at the end

of the workshop.

ARTIST BIO:

Born in Sydney 1980, Anna-Wili studied Fine Art at the

National Art School, Sydney. In 2008, after working as

a Scenic Artist for Opera Australia, she began working

independently, as a practicing artist. Her works are held in

private collections around the world and have featured in

numerous publications, Including the New York Times and

held the cover of Sculpture Review, USA. Solo exhibitions

include Animals, Carriageworks, Sydney 2015. Spirit Faces,

Olsen Gruin gallery NYC, 2018 and Companions, Olsen

gallery, Sydney, 2019. Anna-Wili is represented by Olsen

Gruin, New York and Olsen gallery Sydney.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE EXHIBITION

ANNA-WILI

HIGHFIELD

The Gallery is dedicated to showcasing Australian

contemporary arts practice, creating opportunities for

contemporary artists to connect with our regional audiences

and vice versa.

Anna-Wili’s works explore the organic qualities and

resistance of materials, generating a tension between the

complex realism of form and the limitations and economy of

the materials used. They represent life in an immediate way

that conveys the energy, movement and physical character

of different creatures. Her aim is to engineer a moment

of contact with nature in a way that emphasises both the

startling differences and similarities of human and animal

forms and consciousness.

Our Artist in Residence program connects our community

with visiting artists. The Glasshouse Artist in Residency

program provides a working space for artists to develop their

arts practice, resulting in a new and exciting never before

seen exhibition.

WRITTEN BY LEWIS TRESTON

CREATED BY AUSTRALIAN THEATRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE (ATYP) IN

ASSOCIATION WITH THE ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

(ACYP)

Stories with heart, honesty and humanity.

Follow Me Home is an insightful new theatre production by awardwinning

playwright Lewis Treston. Presented as a series of vignettes, the

play reveals the real stories of a group of extraordinarily strong, resilient

and courageous young people from across Australia.

Telling the truth, being honest and sharing your story takes guts. Real

guts. How do you tell your friend she can’t sleep over anymore? Can

you help a parent when she’s lost all hope? How can you strive for

independence when the system is working against you? And what if just

being honest means you’re out on the street?

Inspired by the real life stories shared by homeless young people across

NSW, this thought provoking work from Australian Theatre for Young

People (ATYP) is a must see for audiences aged 14 and over. Four talented

young actors take on multiple roles in a fast paced show that will leave

audiences with a shift in perspective, a little more compassion and a

deeper understanding of the world around them.

Audience Advice

Follow Me Home depicts young people living with the realities of homelessness.

These stories explore themes of: domestic and family violence, physical abuse and

neglect, drug use, mental Illness, references to suicide, references to sexual abuse.

AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM ON STAGE WITH ATYP!

Performance Experience for Students

Professional Development for Teachers

If you have an outstanding group of young performer’s eager to hone

their dramatic performance skills by participating in Follow Me Home,

ATYP will work with you to include your students in the production.

One of the best ways to learn is by working with leading professionals

and ATYP’s Artistic Director will work with an Educator on a virtual

masterclass exploring each of the scenes from Follow Me Home and

considerations in casting and rehearsing each piece. Students can

then rehearse the scenes.

When the cast of the show arrive in your community, they then

rehearse the scenes with your young performers so they can feel

what it is like working with professional actors. ATYP will then select

a number of student performers to participate in the production to

be performed to the broader Port Macquarie Hastings Community

at the Glasshouse on Thursday 19 August, 1pm. Students selected

will participate in a rehearsal workshop in preparation for their stage

debut.

CENTRE OF THE CENTRE

MEL O’CALLAGHAN

Centre of the Centre is a major new commission

by Australian-born, Paris-based contemporary

artist Mel O’Callaghan that traces the origins of life

and its regenerative forces, iterated through video,

performance and sculpture. Centre of the Centre

plunges audiences 4km below the surface in the

Pacific Ocean to encounter fascinating lifeforms

in extreme environments, pushes the material

boundaries of glass, and reveals how breath can

create both calm and excitement through the depth

and rapidity of inhalation and exhalation.

Mel O’Callaghan’s Centre of the Centre was curated

and developed by Artspace and is touring nationally

with Museums & Galleries of NSW. Centre of the

Centre is co-commissioned by Le Confort Moderne,

Poitiers; Artspace, Sydney; and The University

of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane. With

Commissioning Partners Andrew Cameron AM &

Cathy Cameron and Peter Wilson & James Emmett;

and Lead Supporter, Kronenberg Mais Wright. The

It is with great pleasure that the Grafton Regional Gallery presents

the 2020 Jacaranda Acquisitive Drawing Award (JADA), especially in

these challenging times. The JADA is the Gallery’s flagship biennial

art prize graciously sponsored by the Friends of Grafton Gallery.

It is with great anticipation and excitement that the project develops

every two years and, as the gallery expands in 2020, the JADA

continues to celebrate Australian contemporary drawing at it’s

finest.

This year that tradition of excellence continues with 56 artists

selected from a record 659 entries for the exhibition. The exhibition

will continue its touring legacy by travelling to communities

across Australia and promoting contemporary drawing to regional

audiences for the next two years.

The JADA celebrates drawing in all its forms. From the expressive

and the abstract, to the hyper-realism that is beyond belief, the

works evoke a poetic and emotional response to our environment

and the human condition. Many of the finalists selected question

and challenge the notion of the traditional drawing, while others

provide a contemporary perspective and reinvigorate those

traditions.

key scenes and characters in performance.

Lecture and scene work interspersed with expert

commentary from Damien Ryan and his team – exploring

famous scenes and speeches in multiple ways, opening up

diverse critical readings, unlocking language and character,

hearing actors discuss the plays’ famous ambiguities and

challenges, and answering students’ questions.

A complete, hands-on experience that combines the

Monkey Baa's take on ‘Pete the Sheep’ is a funny

and engaging treat that goes beyond simply

putting a picture-book favourite on the stage.

There's a chance that it will provide stimulus for

difference. And challenging the herd mentality.

ALANNA MACLEAN, SMH


A MONKEY BAA THEATRE COMPANY PRODUCTION

PETE THE SHEEP

ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY EVA DI CESARE, SANDRA ELDRIDGE & TIM

MCGARRY

BASED ON THE BOOK BY JACKIE FRENCH AND BRUCE WHATLEY

Shaun isn’t like the other Shearers in Shaggy Gully…

...he’d rather be styling than shearing and instead of ‘sheep-dog’,

he has a ‘sheep-sheep’ named Pete. After being rejected by the

shearers and their dogs, Shaun and Pete set up their own Shearing

Salon in town and before long word is out and they are inundated

with woolly clients and maybe a Ringer or two!

This hilarious show, imaginatively told by four performers playing

shearers, dogs and sheep explores the challenges and rewards of

being an individual and will be a lasting tribute to honouring your

own spirit and strength, whilst working with the flock.

Adapted by Monkey Baa in 2014 from the picture book by Jackie

French and Bruce Whatley, with foot-tapping music and lyrics by

Phil Scott and comedic direction by Jonathan Biggins.

Scholarship

program

Coastline launched an exciting new

initiative in 2019 awarding scholarships

to primary school students from

Kindergarten to Year Five who excel in

extra-curricular activities.

The Coastline Cubs Scholarship program provides up to 5

x $250 scholarships per year, per school assisting students

with costs associated with their extracurricular activities

which may be anything from music and drama to dancing

and sport. Coastline partnered with Crescent Head Public

School in 2019 who were the inaugural recipients of

the Cubs Scholarship program. Here are some of the

scholarship recipients from Crescent Head Public School

telling us how Coastline’s support has helped them to

achieve their goals!

Charlize Arden

I have bought all the plants and given them

to the school. They have all been planted and

they are going great.

The plants are:

• Bananas

• Avocado

• Lemonade

• Apple

• Mandarin

• Mango

I am hoping these six trees will provide lots of

fruit for current and future students to pick

and eat at school.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Sofia Hamilton

The Coastline Scholarship enabled

me to attend a specialised class with

the Australian Ballet School. It was a

wonderful experience, I learnt many

more steps and variations of them,

which is an important part of classical

ballet.

I also used some money on my

Australian Ballet School (ABS)

tracksuit, which is mandatory if you

are in the ABS Interstate Training

Program.

If your school is interested in our Coastline Cubs Scholarship

Program, or you have students who would benefit - please contact

us at creativestrategies@coastline.com.au

Coastline4Community is our

community volunteering program and

encourages our staff to take up to

three days of paid leave per year to

help in the community.

If your school could use an extra

helping hand in such things as reading

or arts with kids, covering reading

books, school gardening, canteen or

fete days, this could be an excellent

opportunity for us work together -

please get in touch with us at

creativestrategies@coastline.com.au

venue and safety information sheet is on the Glasshouse Website

Arrival: Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time of the performance.

Note - latecomers may not be admitted until a suitable break in the

performance.

Seating: On your schools arrival at the Glasshouse, please report to one of our

staff on duty outside the building who will coordinate your school in entering

the theatre. Note: Workshops and Gallery Events, please report to customer

service who will coordinate your group to be collected.

Running Late: Please call the Glasshouse Box Office on (02) 6581 8888 to notify

us if you are running late.

Bags: The safety and security of our guests is very important. We request

wherever possible teachers and students do not bring school bags with them

to performances.

Toilets: The Glasshouse toilets are accessible for use by members of the public.

To ensure the safety of children please ensure they are accompanied at all

times when using the facilities at the Glasshouse

In the Theatre: Watching live theatre is a unique experience, unlike watching TV

or a movie. Our actors give you a dedicated performance every time and your

best behaviour is the greatest way to show your respect and appreciation! To

make sure everyone in the audience and on the stage has a good time, we ask

you to ensure that your students:

• laugh but don’t chat

• listen and don’t text, tweet or call (turn off their mobile and iPod)

• be on the edge of their seat but not in anyone else’s (or the aisle!)

• take home a great experience but don’t take photographs

• write notes later or they might miss something magical

• bring a hunger for knowledge but don’t bring food or

drink into the theatre.
