2012 Tom Bass Memorial Address
22nd June, 2012
The second Tom Bass Memorial Address was presented on Saturday, June 16th 2012, at 7 pm by Glenda Cloughley at the ATYP (Australian Theatre for Young People) in Walsh Bay, NSW
Glenda talked about the role of ETHOS as a focus for the community and about the prophetic role of sculpture as Tom understood it when he was makign ETHOS. Glenda spoke of the artist as a seer and generator of totems that reflect the emotional truth and possibility of the people in a place and time.
In her 50th Birthday year it was an opportunty to reflect on the role ETHOS has played in the community and also give voice to the creative out pouring she has inspired through the song stories and music by Glenda Cloughley and Johanna McBride and the Chorus of Women
After the Address the performance of the Gifts of the Furies composed by Glenda Cloughley and directed by Johanna McBride was supported by Sydney choralists including the youthful voices of the Sydney University Theatre Ensemble MUSE
