I really need a couple to demolish a big wooden wall this FRIDAY. Then move the materials outside the loading dock of the studio. Should be pretty easy but big job. Its made of yellow tongue flooring and pine stud - hand nailed, sparingly, so will come apart quite easily. My back is pretty stuffed so I cant do it all myself. WILL PAY!

Kartell 1970's nesting white plastic tables. A bit yellowed. $60

1970's bar with stools $150 ONO. Must go this week!!!

$1200 ono for Behringer lighting desk+2 Dimmers+4 Fresnels+1 followspot

Hello, goodbye
and
thank you,
to all past Studio 246 clients.

For 3 exciting years Studio 246 has been helping talented people from Melbourne and across Australia bring their creative projects to fruition.
I have greatly enjoyed working with you all and from the feed back I get everyone seems to have liked the Studio 246 space.

Sadly, Studio 246 will no longer be taking bookings from 3rd of December 2012.

However, this is good news for anyone who wants theatre equipment, art materials, video / photography lighting, building materials / partitions, 60's & 70's vintage furniture and decor.
All this and more will be up for sale , with past clients and friends will be given 'first dibs' on the loot from Monday 3rd December, with a final garage sale planned for Saturday 8th Dec.

I will try to photograph and post as many items as possible on Facebook prior to 3rd Dec, but there are still 2 clients booked in the studio until that date.

A rough idea of what is available:

2x 4ch DMX controlled dimmers,
1x Behringer LC2412 lighting desk
4x 500w fresnel lights
1x 650w follow spot
various halogen lighting fixtures
50 folding black chairs: good quality, very good condition, Ikea
8x racks of 5 folding vintage theatre seats = 40 seats

2x Daylight CFL photo/video lighting heads with stands, reflectors and diffusers.
2x Kino style daylight fluorescent heads with reflector panels and stands
various tripods and stands

smoke machine: small, used once.
Generic DMX controller: good for use with intelligent lights, party lighting etc. not suitable for theatre show control.

designer glass table: a single slab of toughened glass bent into a U shape with beveled edges
Other vintage, rare, unique or classic furniture and household bits.
A selection of my artwork.
All sorts of rare and unusual technical parts, tools, kits and half finished projects at garage sale prices.
The distilled essence of 25 years collecting interesting opp-shop and abandoned stuff

Thank you all for being involved in making Studio 246 an 'excellent adventure'.

Best of luck with your future creative endeavours,

Leon

Review: Under the Rainbow: Spectacular! Spectacular!, The Jane Austen Argument

Four childhood friends have grown up sharing their dreams and realities. They are there for each other in good times and bad. When the bad times become too difficult and private to share, each of them cope in different ways. Facades can only be kept for so long before something gives way and reveals the pain inside.

This play will take you up close and personal to the illness of depression. Who are the people who suffer from this disease and how does it affect those around them? Tracey is one of those people and this is part of her story.

Communication is such an important factor in understanding depression but it is such a taboo subject. The stigmas surrounding this mental health issue keep it behind closed doors. It is time to open those doors.

Actress and new playwright Tracey Mathers (We Can Be Heroes), along with director Nathan Gilkes (Present Tense Theatre, Lyric Opera of Melbourne) challenges you to help break down the barriers between society and sufferers of mental health.

“This play only scratches the surface of my story and those of the semi fictional characters I have created. I’m very lucky to have an incredibly supportive family.”
