I’ve heard it said that in deep space, no one can hear you scream.

Whos_the_best-420x0

In 2010, Post (Zoe Coombs Marr, Mish Grigor and Natalie Rose) “embarked on a journey to find out which one of us is the best. We devised a system, defined our criteria and started tallying our scores.” Read more

A Little Room – A sonnet of sorts | Carriageworks

130511123303-18919.1304387463.255.300.c.new-image

The cavenous black space of the Carriageworks is illuminated with shards of light that slice through the space illuminating scattered places- a ramp, a patch of grass, a staircase, a kitchen, a bar. Music plays, a whimsical riff leaning towards jazz – melodic and gentle. Read more

POP UP Adventures in Art… Tim Andrew

So… you want to do something in The Rocks that doesn’t involve putting up with come-ons rude tourists…

…That isn’t set in a beer soaked pub which boasts it’s major draw card as overpriced schnitzel?

Perhaps you want to do something after work on Friday that makes you laugh?

Or perhaps you want to impress your new love-interest with your “in-the-loop” cultural discernment?

I thoroughly endorse the work of Tim Andrew – I believe one of the great minds of my generation.

And I have a painting in my lounge room to prove it.

I’ll be there on Friday night for the opening (before scuttling off to a show) –

I invite you to come hang out… 6.30pm… I’ll even introduce you to him… He’s a really nice chap…

You’ll like him.

It has been an amazing week at Griffin Theatre with the Festival of New writing – the Playwright’s muster, The Griffin Award announcement, even a series of 24 hour play generators – but the event I was most keen to see was on Wednesday night. Whilst my usual reviewing colleagues set out for the opening of the star-studded Seagull, I pulled on my gloves, wrapped myself in scarf and coat and ventured to Heartbreak Hotel – dateless and desperate for a good time.

Cut and Paste #7 | The Old Fitzroy Hotel Theatre

n280096293552_91591

In the post-traumatic haze of Trapture – an hour or so later – I ventured into the land of new works in development at the Old Fitz. I am without a program – I don’t know how I missed out but I did – and so this is not really a review or a response more of an FYI for the new work hunters who couldn’t make it along… Read more

This site is about my long, deep, bright-eyed, ever-hopeful, sometimes difficult, always invigorating, rambunctious, rebellious, dynamic and very personal relationship with Australian Arts and Culture...
