PARKWAY ARTS Upcoming Events, CircXtreme, Parkway Gospel Choir, Canberra Dramatics
Productions vary depending on who is available and interested and what skills are on offer at a given time. Collaborations are encouraged and nurtured. One-off shows and regular gigs like our annual Carols by Candlelight are always in the making. Everything from puppets and fine arts through to singers, dancers, actors and techos (even drummers) can have a place in the Parkway Arts Community. Parkway Arts exist to express the nature of the divine Creator in all His wonderful Glory and diversity. We are to inspire, question, discuss, serve and nurture - all to the Glory of God! Parkway Arts are about what the Holy Spirit is saying now. That’s why what we do today is not what we did yesterday nor will it be done again tomorrow (unless it’s relevant).
> Our People We consist of people of all ages and all levels of skill in their respective artistic and technical fields. Pastor Sussan Soong (Ass Dip Creative Ministries) oversees all Parkway Productions and all Parkway Artistic Development Programs including CircXtreme, Canberra Dramatics, Parkway Gospel Choir Productions, The Parkway Arts Community and Parkway Productions. It’s a fun job, like growing a garden - very organic and prone to seasonal change with wonderful new things always popping up! That’s not to say we don’t have dreams and plans there’s always a blueprint to follow and Godly principles to be outworked so that our garden is beautiful and works well for all involved. As for the practicalities, well “Money is like manure, it should be spread around to help young things grow”. (Hello Dolly) We believe that and the same goes for all our wonderful resources, including our people. > Contact Parkway Arts on 02 - 6296 7701 Tuesday to Thursday or email ssoong@tpg.com.au
CircXtreme is a recreational activity for children and teens providing a fun way to develop good coordination, performance and social skills. Areas of skill taught range from basic juggling and circus skills through to fire-spinning, acrobatics and aerial. Performances are offered regularly at all levels throughout the year. CircXtreme exists to challenge kids with active minds and bodies to set and achieve their own goals, whilst guiding and encouraging their development in the areas of coordination, self-esteem, spiritual and social awareness in a physically and emotionally safe and caring Christian environment. Update : CircXtreme is now offering extra classes at a new location - Queanbeyan ! Ring the CircXtreme holtline to find out more. > Our People Kaite Laing (Head Trainer) is a qualified gymnastics and acrobatics coach. Her team are always in a continual training and skills development regime. We have our own training program as the more “extreme” skills offered by CircXtreme are not areas where qualifications from learning institutions are readily available. Our Trainers and Assistants must all adhere to a strict Code of Conduct, undergo all in-house training and hold a current first aid certificate. > Contact Parkway Arts on 02 - 6296 7701 CircXtreme Hotline on 0421 233 055
Parkway Gospel Choir offers a wonderful opportunity for members of Parkway and the wider community to experience the joy of singing, performing and developing their vocal skills and repertoire in a friendly supportive community environment. Solid teaching techniques and an emphasis on consistent improvement make this a choir that seems to raise the bar every time they take to the stage. However, most members of the choir when asked recently what they get out of being participants responded with “fun and friendship!” Parkway Gospel Choir is here to enjoy life and spread that joy throughout Canberra! > Our People Fiona Benton currently heads up Parkway Gospel Choir. A singer and an instrumentalist herself, Fiona aspire to bring enjoyment through singing and interacting with a wide variety of individuals, but at the same time pursuing making wonderful harmonies with the voices in the Choir. Pastor Roger Soong, Parkway Music Director, oversees and supports Fiona and the Choir in all their pursuits. Roger Has an Ass. Dip in Creative Ministries and more than 20 years of experience in church Music Ministry. He is both a Pastor and an active musician/singer himself but his main passion is seeing others fulfil their God-given dreams in music and performing arts. > Contact Parkway Arts on 02 - 6296 7701, 0412 73 73 87 or rsoong@tpg.com.au
Canberra Dramatics offers opportunities for dramatic artists to engage in all aspects of theatrical production across a range of dramatic media. Current activities include projects for theatre, film and radio. We are unique in the city of Canberra as the one theatre company dedicated to producing new plays by playwrights from the city and surrounding region, using the talents of local performing artists and production teams. Canberra Dramatics is a community of theatrical artists working in their chosen medium with the purpose of promoting Christian life principles and bringing the power of God into the places where Canberrans experience theatre. We seek to relate to both audiences and professional peers in this endeavour, furthering the Canberran church’s pursuit of Christ’s Great Commission in every way possible. Biblical principles are the foundation upon which Canberra Dramatics is built, and everything we do is influenced by our Christian heritage. Our vision is that a light will shine in the theatres of Canberra and the darkness will not overcome it. > Upcoming Events
