Australasian Commedia dell'Arte Festival 2010 Program

About the Antonio Fava workshops...Festival participants who have 3-day registration can nominate which Antonio Fava workshop 
group they would like to attend, either Group A , B or C.  Each group, A, B & C,  will have one session on Friday AND one
session on the Saturday, Whole group on Sunday. As workshops in each session run concurrently, you will be unable to
attend the other workshops in the same session as your Antonio Fava workshop. However, workshops are scheduled so
you will be able to attend workshops by the same speaker on a different day.
