Welcome to the
new year
Ah, rest time is over, and it's back
into the whirlwind! With Black Coffee coming up in less than two
months, the MTL studio is abuzz. Dance rehearsals, band rehearsals,
costume creation, meetings and schedules are overflowing from our little
pocket of the world. I hope you had the chance to rest, recharge
and energise and have been able to hit the ground running full of energy
this year. Unless you are still on holidays, in which case ...
"half your luck".
If you read the Advertiser on week days,
you will have received your Fringe guide today. Yes, tickets are
now on sale for Black Coffee and all Fringe events.
Read on for more about our ticket sales below. As you can imagine,
the cast of Black Coffee is absolutely flat out rehearsing for the show
and it's all starting to come to life. We're also still fundraising,
with a movie night coming up on Friday 6 February and a donations appeal
for Black Coffee launched last week. The new board has met three
times, and the new board members are building deeper understanding
of what we do, why we are here and what we value, and helping spread
the word about Black Coffee and our other activities.
If you want to find out more, please

Membership renewals
Membership fees will be due for renewal on
31 January. For those of you who are current members, an invoice
will be sent for your renewal fees.
Why join or maintain membership with
MTL? Well, there are benefits for you, like discounts and
information, but it is also a way to contribute a small amount to support
an organisation that you are glad exists, and that you think is valuable
to you individually, the wider community, or the artform of dance.
Movie night fundraiser
A reminder that we are holding a movie night
fundraiser:
Revolutionary Road
starring Leonardo diCaprio and Kate Winslett
Adapted from the landmark novel by Richard
Yates, Revolutionary Road is an incisive portrait of an American
marriage seen through the eyes of Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) and April
(Kate Winslet) Wheeler. Yates' story of 1950s America poses a question
that has been reverberating through modern relationships ever since: can
two people break away from the ordinary without breaking apart?
7pm, Friday 6 February
at Wallis Cinema Mitcham
Tickets $13 (or buy 10, get 1 free)
Kate Winslet recently one a Golden Globe for
best actress in this film, and the film was nominated in three other categories,
including best picture, best director and best actor.
All funds raised from ticket sales will go
towards Black Coffee.
Please feel free to pass on the details to
friends - there is an e-flier on
the website you can email to friends.
I hope to see you there!
