Please welcome Phoebe Panaretos & Alex Gibson-Giorgo! Some of the amazing talent that has graced the West End Sessions stage of the years.
Please help bring my very popular London based show West End Sessions to the Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2021. West End Sessions is a unique night of entertainment showcasing a diverse range of young and emerging talent alongside some of the West End's finest and most established performers. This year marks the 61st Birthday of The Adelaide Fringe Festival, and what better way to celebrate the first festival back post COVID-19 than by bringing West End Sessions to the West End of Adelaide, my home town.
The show's ethos is simple, a night of intimate, world class entertainment like no other, with the aim of connecting the community with a variety of local artists, as well as providing mentorship and performance opportunities to aspiring young Australian performers. Our show was due to take place over 8 x nights at The Queens Theatre in Adelaide's own West End! However with the mounting risk of international travel, we will now be bringing an immense digital show direct to your living room! The show runs at around an hour and a half with 3 to 4 performers, a line up of West End royalty and festival favourites, plus our new emerging talent. With our musical director accompanying on live piano, songs range in style from MT to jazz, pop, rock, with an Australian centric theme. We endeavour to entertain the festival audiences with a wide range of artists and writing, reflecting the cultural diversity of modern Australia....
HOW YOU CAN HELP
The Arts has been decimated by COVID-19 with very little support from the government. I'm aiming to raise around $6k AUD for the development of a very special West End Sessions - Live from London for an Adelaide Audience. The funds will be used to book talent, give digital workshops to emerging talent and of course the production of a first rate digital live stream. To include studio hire, cameras, lights, and digital streaming platform It all adds up and as most people know with any type of Fringe Festival it is completely artist produced and funded!
$45 - Can contribute towards running workshops for Youth Theatre
$55 - Can contribute to the funds needed for mentoring local talent
$65 - Can allow us to engage an audio technician for one hour
$85 - Can help cover the cost of a studio and lighting
$150 - Can help cover the cost of camera hire
$250 - Can help cover the cost booking artists

I believe in theatre.
I believe live performance is magical.
It’s a shared gift of immersion, and wonder.
For years, I dreamed of performing on the West End. And, motivated by my ambition, I studied, I worked, and those dreams came true...
The Aussie guy who took a leap of faith, and became Valjean.
On that journey of discovery, perseverance and growth, I learned so many valuable lessons.
And now, that knowledge, hard earned on some of the world’s biggest stages and most famous productions, is available to you.
You and I will create a bespoke program specifically focused on your needs, your goals. And, together we will discover your ultimate performance
Let me help you unearth your best communicator. Optimising your ability to share great ideas and convey meaning, we will bring to light the universal truths of communication, and use them in every situation, from business presentation or stage work to social settings, to benefit you.
From technical training to improving your audition technique, I am a performance and vocal coach, with the benefit of real world experience and extensive training for both the stage and recording studio, who can unlock your full potential.
But, make no mistake, our process will involve hard work.
While our partnership will help you set, hit, and maintain your goals, we will hold you accountable to your dreams.
You will need grit!
But, after all, diamonds are formed under pressure.
And, I want you to shine!
I am honoured, and proud, to share my knowledge with you.
Together we will Discover, Optimise & Perform!
Let’s go!
