 Galleries and Theatres in the Hunter Region
What's On this month in the Galleries
 Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery
FATHOM THE DEPTHS: Until 5 February 2012
Curated by Meryl Ryan, Where there is water…brings together 11 contemporary artists whose works explore the theme of water from diverse perspectives and using a wide range of media, from photography and digital video to sculptural installation, painting and printmaking. These artists examine their relationship with this mesmerizing subject, often using it as a metaphor to describe human emotion and states of being.
Through thought-provoking works by artists Narelle Autio, Deidre Brollo, Maria Fernanda Cardoso, Julia Ciccarone, Shaun Gladwell, Helga Groves, Jess MacNeil, Todd McMillan, Harry Nankin, Bill Viola, and Wukun Wanambi, the exhibition holds something for everyone.
WHITE GUMS AND RAMOXES: 10 February – 25 March 2012
Ceramics by Merric & Arthur Boyd from the Bundanon Trust Collection
This exhibition presents the ceramic work of Merric Boyd (1888–1959) between 1910s and 1950s and that of his son Arthur (1920–1999) from the 1940s to 1980s. These will be supported by a selection of oil paintings, etchings and drawings by the artists. The title derives from two characteristic motifs in their work: Merric was preoccupied with interpretations of trees, while Arthur’s ‘ramox’ is typical of his interest in metamorphosed and hybrid figures.
BEYOND THE DOT: 10 February – 13 May
Since 2000, the gallery and its Aboriginal Reference Group have worked together to promote, support, and celebrate Aboriginal culture in the region. This exhibition recognises the significant achievement of that collaboration through selected works from landmark exhibitions such as A Possum Skin Cloak by the Lake (2011),Yapang marruma: making our way (stories of the stolen) (2009), Stories (2006) and Passage (2004). Artists include Jonathon Jones, Doug Archibald and Mervyn Bishop.
 Marnling Press & Whaling Road Studio – Michelle Perry & Diana Davidson
at Maitland Regional Art Gallery
Survey exhibition ‘MARNLING PRESS & WHALING ROAD STUDIO – Michelle Perry & Diana Davidson’ celebrates two of the most significant Sydney print workshops.
Etchings, monotypes, silkscreen and relief prints by artists including Suzanne Archer, Sydney Ball, John Beard, Charles Cooper, Fred Cress, Adam Cullen, Elisabeth Cummings, Steven Harvey, Jasper Knight, Graham Kuo, Alun Leach-Jones, Guy Maestri, James McGrath, David Serisier, and indigenous artists Ada Bird Petyarre, Lily Kelly and Dorothy Napangardi are featured.

What's On this month in the Theatre
 Waterchild
New Australian Drama at Newcastle Theatre Company
Water Child, a new Australian play by CONDA* and Guild Award** winning actress Emma Wood, explores these controversial questions and more.
A drama with comic touches, the play examines issues surrounding one couple’s desire to start a family later in life, including miscarriage, relationship and wider family tensions.
These questions will resonate with modern audiences, but are not often tackled on stage. Reactions to play readings to date have been complex and emotional, arousing in readers and listeners strong passions in response to the characters and their actions throughout the play. Professional Director Aarne Neeme, who will be involved with the production, describes it as ‘a fine piece of intense writing about fundamental issues!’
With a cast of some of Newcastle’s finest actors including: Rosemary Dartnell, Derek Fisher, Angela McKeown, Lynda Rennie and Nola Wallace and experienced director Richard Murray at the helm, the production promises to be challenging, controversial and passionate.
Water Child will premiere at Newcastle Theatre Company from 3-17 March 2012 as part of the 2012 season.
Performances will be staged Wed, Fri and Saturdays at 8pm, with matinees on Sun 4th and Saturday 10th at 2pm. Bookings on 4952 4958.
 Tales of Tocal
Feb 17, 18, 24, 25, 6pm at Tocal Homestead, Paterson
$35 per head incl pre-show drink and canapes. Tickets 02 4939 8901 (office hours).
The audience will be required to stroll around the site so please wear suitable footwear.
In November 1874 there was a gruesome discovery in the creek at Tocal. The news soon spread around the district and made headlines in the Sydney papers.
Step back into 1874 and experience the excitement, hear what the experts had to say and what the workers around the farm thought about it. Based on a true story this production combines the talents of Upstage Theatre with Tocal's heritage location for a memorable evening.
