What's On Tablelands June July Issue 2017 | Page 4

Paradise to Apocalypse
Old Post Office Gallery on Herberton Road until 26 June. Official opening by Anna Gillison Friday 9 June,
5.30pm until 7.30pm. Friends Of The Gallery will have a cash bar at the opening.
Introducing Paradise To Apocalypse, a collection of paintings and drawings in acrylics, charcoal and pastel by Graeme
Draper. Paradise paintings are an acknowledgement of the beautiful area of the world we live in. The pictures depict the
bucolic landscape around us and the diversity of tropical foliage in the gardens. The Apocalypse could be viewed as our
world turned upside down by our carelessness and bad management of the environment, an overcrowded and polluted
scenario; a fantasy look at a not too wonderful future.
My first solo exhibition in 2000 was also called Paradise To Apocalypse, and while the paintings in this next exhibition
are new, the Apocalypse part is a second showing of the charcoal and pastel drawings shown originally in 2000.
Children's Interactive Exhibition
Free at Tablelands Regional Gallery. End date 11 June. Details: www.qagoma.qld.gov.au/learn/kids
‘The Gabori Sisters: Gathering by the Sea takes children on a journey to the artists’ homeland of Bentinck Island in Queensland’s Gulf of
Carpentaria. Children can discover the Kayardild language and their own Kaiadilt totem animal, reflect on their knowledge of the sea in a
drawing activity, create a sea creature collage, and make a digital humpy. Participants can also listen to the Gabori sisters share stories from
Bentinck Island in a video interview. Kids on Tour is offered as a free program to regional Queensland communities through the Queensland
Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art Regional Services department.
Twits and Teens by MYT
18 June at 3pm and 20 June at 6.30pm. Tickets at www.malandatheatre.org also available at ECHO and Elders in Malanda, and Tableland
Books in Atherton. Prices are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Doors open half an hour before the show. Refreshments available to
purchase at interval.
Malanda Youth Theatre presents Twits and Teens. Roald Dahl’s “The Twits” was first published in 1980. It tells the tale of a pair of horrible
twits and the tricks they like to play on each other. Mr Twit hates his wife. Mrs Twit detests her husband. They like nothing more than playing
wicked tricks on one another. Sooner or later, things are going to go too far… This show includes the vibrant and colourful productions of some
of our Youth Theatre teens which were performed at the Festival of One Act Plays recently in Townsville, In the Family, Personality Check
and Summer Holiday.
