Historical information
What was distinct about the Performing Arts Course at the University of Ballarat is it had students from a wide range of back grounds with an age range from 17 to 53 years. Students are keen to not only act but to write, design, direct, production manage, stage manage, design lighting and sound and create their own theatre. They also take responsibility for a large percentage of the decision making and administration.
Artistic Director and Course Co-ordinator was Peter Tulloch.
Card advertises the University of Ballarat 3rd Year Performing Arts Graduating Company's presentation of "Maelstrom". Writer Chris Dickins was commissioned by the graduates to write this contemporary piece.
"Maelstrom" deals with a generation lost in a world of mobile phones, electronic gadgets, bright lights and gambling phenomenon.
