peace actions through the 80s. Mar is an experienced director,

Natalie
Wasley Matilda : Activist : Legend
Nuke-busting Natty is ready to knock the socks off the nuclear industry
and expose their extremely smelly feet (and their greed-fueled stupidity!!)
A past life as a Fitness instructor and Sports Aerobic superstar
has transformed her into an amped up activist and after three BIG
missions back and forth across this country in the last year (Cycling
for Sustainability, The Global Greens Conferences and Students and
Sustainability and the Indymedia circus) she is fired up to hit
the road again. Nat plays an awesome Matilda in the play and I reckon
ol Banjo would be stoked!! She is a rock and she rocks!, and
she be rockin some sanity into this cwazy wacky world!!
Ben
Coyne Politician : MC Bongo Benediction
: Future Generation
Dude
He never stops ... not since 1998 when a David Suzuki
lecture led him down to the forest camps in the ancient forests
of South West WA. After getting a taste for the ecological injustice
in the world (and seeing the microcosm of the forests projected
on the larger canvas of the whole shabby system) he has successfully
deferred a few years with a dash of uni in between and been a full
time activist. In the last 2 years Ben has also crossed the country
on 3 missions and crammed everything else in between. He also discovered
a word called "Patriarchy". But that is another adventure
altogether. A master impro performer whether free-stylin', street
busking or as our esteemed "little Johnnie Howard" in
atomic oz, Ben is larger than life, and worth laughing with, if
not at.
Saritah
Composer : Singer : Activist
Music is Sarahs passion in life and shes been a singer/songwriter
since high school. Atomic Oz is the perfect opportunity for her
to combine her passions of music and the planet in a hugely direct
way. Her original earth conscious tunes are performed solo and with
extra special guests. Saritah recently returned to the west from
an 8 month tour of the east coast sharing her debut EP, and a full
length album is promised by mid next year.
Olly
Watkins Percussionist : Activist
aka "radioactive man". Is a mad activist passionate about
no-nukes, inspired by the incredible actions of nuke activists in
Oz, especially colliding last year with Cycling for Sustainability
with Uncle Kev and the extended mob camping, walking and rocking
for our earth and its people. The year 2000/1 have been busy with
national and local direct actions from bike rides to blockades.
Olly brings his mad vibrant energy to ATOMIC OZ as a percussionist.
Paul
Hood Death : Doco Maker : SM
As you can see from this photo paul is a scary freak. Since an early
age Paul has found it hard to fit in and people dont like
him. He always plays death, is the last dude picked for sport, and
never achieved academically despite trying (and sucking) real hard.
Hes also going to document the tour.
