Four hundred years of being the hero gets boring. Deep down inside he
wanted an excuse to take a walk on the wild side for a change. :)

No way! Not me!! I'm going to spend $12.95 for the silver plated display
stand, so it will match the medallion. AND I'm going to spend 15 minutes
every week polishing it so it'll stay pretty and shiny.

Subject: HLDU Walkabout Workshop in LA
Hi all
We have always wanted to meet with fellow Highlander fans for a round table
discussion that takes us beyond the surface of the episodes and into the
craft of how these episodes were actually put together.
In between Conventions, which are held in Australia, we want to offer
various activities elsewhere in the world (hence the title 'Walkabout' )
that are interesting in their own right but also help raise funds for our
major Conventions.
We are kicking off our second such activity (the first was the Tour to
Scotland in 2002) with:
An in-depth study of some seminal episodes, including:
Homeland
Forgive Us Our Trespassers
The Modern Prometheus
Guests (Confirmed)
*****************
Elizabeth Gracen
David Abramowitz
Roger Bellon
Other guests will be announced shortly.
Master of Ceremonies
********************
The incomparable John Bierly.
Prices
USD$200 for the workshop only. Numbers are limited to ensure a more
intimate surround for discussion.
Format
*******
You can expect:
panel discussions with fans and guests alike discussing the ethics of 'real
person' characterisation (Byron);
a presentation on the real history of Culloden and Byron and the Romantics;
copies of different script drafts and discussion on why it changed;
sword choreography;
how was the music put together...
fan/guest panels/debates
You will be stimulated and engage in a level of discussion about the craft
of acting/directing/producing that you have not had a chance to engage in
previously.
There will be 'no' autographs or traditional Question & Answer sessions.
Where there is a Q&A it will focus on the person's craft/profession
particularly in relation to Highlander and the episodes under review.
Program
The full Program will be announced as soon as we have confirmed all of our
guests. As is usual with an HLDU experience, you can expect an action
packed two days + an event on the Saturday evening.
Location
To be announced shortly.
