>Hello Beamers!
>The High Beam is switched on - it's focused on May 3 - 12 2002 and it's
>getting brighter and more colourful by the day. The program covers
>community celebration style events (generated primarily from Adelaide
>and South Australia), and the professional showcase that draws on
>accomplished talents from many corners of the globe. My recent overseas
>trip to market and promote High Beam gave me access to a tremendous
>range of interesting and talented people. The interest in High Beam now
>comes from far flung areas including Nepal, South Africa, Russia,
>Canada, UK and Ireland, and the list goes on! High Beam is being
>recognized as one of the world's major events in the global disability
>culture movement.
>There is still time to register your event as part of the High Beam
>Festival and compliment Arts in Action's core program which will be a
>10-day feast of shows and cabarets in every performing art form, loads
>of exhibitions and installations, workshops, masterclasses and
>discussion forums around important matters to do with Arts and people
>with disabilities. Switch on your High Beam, focus it on May and talk
>to us at Arts in Action about your ideas and let us know how to get our
>program to you.
>Cheers
