Program for Laboratory

The program has been set for Gosford Council's August "Cultural Laboratory" performances at the Peninsula Theatre in Woy Woy on Friday, August 3, at 7:30pm.

The Laboratory is an opportunity to see 10-minute segments of all types of performance and visual arts in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to an exchange of cultural ideas, according to marketing coordinator Ms Lisa Kelly.

"The Laboratory will host a number of local artists, young performers, community elders and musicians," Ms Kelly said.

Visual artist Ana Pollak will present a number of photographs and drawings of the oyster farms of the Hawkesbury River.

Madame Wu Wei Yuan will present traditional Chinese dance with her troupe of 10 dancers.

Donna Judge, featured in "Significant Women of the Coast" - a collection of stories published by Margaret Hardy, will speak about her life.

Songwriters Jake Cassar and Loren Kate will join with local saxophonist Lee Hardisty to present some funky new music.

Young performers from the 2007 Youth In Performing Arts concerts will sing, dance and act; and Stephen Lacey will talk about life as a feature writer with the Sydney Morning Herald.

The Peninsula Theatre is located on the corner of McMasters Rd and Ocean Beach Rd, Woy Woy.

Tickets for adults are $10 while concessions and students are $7.

All tickets include supper.
