Pilot: “Madmen & Dreamers OZ Odyssey DownUnder!!!”

 The purpose of this living camera modern day monty python OZ/USA Creativity is to release the natural HAPPINESS of people. To overcome the misery killer of human Dreams. To show everyday folk we can overcome anything with faith, and will to do so.

Starting in NYC, the stomping grounds of Madmen & Dreamers, we will be filming the preparations for the OZ Odyssey. Interviews with cast and crew, along with the action, drama and laughter of rehearsals will provide the initial backdrop of this living camera production. Also a pilgrimage to Lady Liberty as the overlighting Patroness to this OZ Odyssey. The planting of Aussie Balingup Acres Big Love Apple & Sunflower Seeds in Her honour by local Yankee kids at the “ground zero” Children’s Mother Earth Gardens Project (World Trade Center).

At the same time, renowned international choreographer/dancer Carole Johnson, founder of the Bangarra Dance Theatre ~ www.bangarra.com.au ~ the Lady Liberty Womanly Arts of Lani Neilson ~ www.lanineilson.com.au ~ Skydive Spectacular world champion Dave Benson ~ www.extremeairads.com ~ abORIGINAL Elder Fay Nelson ~ www.naisda.com.au ~ and the other Aussie Artists, Performers & Producers will be making their own labyrinth riddle innovative preparations in the ancient mystical DreamTime Land of OZ DownUnder with the local production crew.

Back in the US, Madmen & Dreamers will be writing and performing an original song (Through My Eyes) for the Children of the Spectra Academy for Autism Awareness Month in New Jersey in April and a full-blown performance of The Children of Children Rock Opera as part of the MamaPalooza Festival in NYC in June as a warm-up for their tour DownUnder.

The film will then focus on the brush up, SWOT (Strengths Weaknesses OpportUNITYs Threats) Process following the warm-up show at MamaPalooza.

Then, its load up, ship out and lift off at the airport for the long flight DownUnder!

We’ll film as much they allow on the plane trying to get some embarrassing footage of sleeping cast and crew unaware of their forthcoming Aussie Serendipity Surprises.

Then, with us bleary-eyed and jet-lagged, the Australian film crew will be waiting for us when we get through customs to finally meet Carole Johnson, Lani Neilson, Dave Benson, Fay Nelson, the ‘genius’ wonder Children and the other Aussie riddle “mad” motley mob for the first time. Remembering “mad” means “make a difference!”

Then begins the full-on Aussie real life monty python adventure!

Selected Madmen & Dreamers will be invited to wrestle a Croc called “Grace”, plus other FUN Aussie lifeforce enhancing ACTivities. Mark and his Band will also participate in a fair dinkum MANly Aussie Rules Football Game without sissy padding and "Riddell" head protecting helmets. The TV Show includes the Skydive Spectacular where the friendly Aussies throw a "Madmen & Dreamers" Goodwill Ambassador out of a plane 14,000 feet above beautiful Newcastle. We understand the lead singer and Boss Lady, Christine, is the one with the courage and life insurance to do so!!! There would BEe a "Madman & Dreamers" HUGE Flag along with an Aboriginal DreamTime one and another announcing “Share the Spirit” from the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Success.

There will be a MANly rite-of-passage abORIGINAL initiation Corroboree for Yankee "mad" Mark & his Merry Men from the USA. This will BEe filmed as a candid camera JOY with some censoring, of course, due to it being a show watched by Children. We don't want to disturb anyone with the primal screams of fearful Madmen & Dreamers!

Aussie Hall of Fame composer/singer, Brian Cadd, will be asked to ensure "Madmen & Dreamers" are never “quietly rusting” (see Brian’s CD)!!! The full life experience monty python sense of playful Aussie fun sense and curiosity of Brian & co will jell with the genius of Yankee "mad" Mark. They are brother composers sharing the 'Symphony of the Universe' common ground as per the www.creativitysummit.com whereby Brian is being asked to collaborate with the American "Madmen & Dreamers" during their OZ Odyssey with his "Little Ray of SUNshine" hit song as a longtime anthem for all CHILDREN. Brian and abORIGINAL mates will also do a MANly rite-of-passage initiation Corroboree with Yankee "mad" Mark & his Merry Men. This will BEe filmed as a candid camera experiential JOY with some censoring, of course, due to it being a show watched by Children. We don't want to disturb anyone with the primal screams of Madmen!

The beautiful Newcastle Region will serve as the Madmen & Dreamer's friendly HOME base in OZ and the Showcase venue for the Rock Opera performances ~ “The Children of Children” ~ as a cautionary tale. In 1999 for the 200th anniversary of Newcastle Harbour a wonderful symbolic Feminine Mystique bronze sculpture was commissioned to overlight Australia's busiest Port. Her name being the "ANGEL OF DESTINY ~ HOPE FOR THE FUTURE".
 
She is a "Lady Liberty" like Symbol of "Welcome!" from the Newcastle People. Naturally links to the STATUE OF LIBERTY in New York Harbour with Her Global Village Children's Mother Earth Gardens Project that is an Australian grassroots CommUNITY Partnership Initiative. We have already built that friendly "Rainbow of Love " Bridge between OZ/USA.
 
The ANGEL OF DESTINY in Newcastle Harbour is located on the foreshore where Australia's largest corporation ~ BHP Billiton ~ had her Core Home Base. BHP Billiton is now a leading global citizen setting an example in corporate social responsibility, commUNITY partnership, innovation, ecology, health, prosperity and common wealth creation.

The bottomline outcome intentions of the “Madmen & Dreamers” adventure gift is HAPPINESS for Australia’s CHILDREN~PARENTS~FAMILIES.

in co+operation and creativity…
