Adelaide Fringe 2012

I am so super busy at the moment because someone decided, a long time ago, that Adelaide should do all of the things in March. We have car races, Fringe festivals, multi-arts festivals, my wife?s birthday

It?s because of this I am worked to the bone as the organisation I work for/with possess a state of the art venue and TV studio. We are putting on science shows throughout the Fringe Festival that educate and entertain, sometime with more emphasis on the entertainment. Check out the shows below and if you can make it to one, book a ticket and if you can?t get in touch with the acts and bring them to your town. Then thank me later.

(The whole list is here.)

Sepia

For Neil, the South Australian coastal town of Whyalla is a place of hidden beauty. Just a short drive from?his caravan park, a few metres under the water, are hundreds of thousands of cuttlefish,?Sepia apama, in their natural?breeding ground.

But now things are changing. The cuttlefish are going missing; and?Neil is finding his family is further away than ever.

Can Whyalla still be all he thought it could be?

Faraday?s Candle

Over 150 years ago, Michael Faraday saw beauty and wonder in the chemistry of a candle. Society has changed, technology has advanced, language has evolved, but the phenomena underpinning a candle remain constant. Built around one man?s genius for observation,?Faraday?s candle?explores natural phenomena and the processes of science.

City Farm

It is 2030 and the air is different. Humans are wealthy and celebrating their indulgent lifestyles, but the natural world is suffering. Technology has allowed for most things to be replaced electronically. But can we replace everything? Grass, flowers, trees, wind, sun? Earth?

Follow the journey of Jed and Melaleuca, a farmer and his tree. Their bond could be the beginning of a new world? or will it be just a reminder of how life used to be?
