Hell yeah! I am so excited for this show. The River Eats is the stand out show for me in the Performance Space program this season. Its a surreal, extreme, visual, visceral journey of the psyche. And a little erotic. Justin Shoulder creates amazing theatre with fantastical costumes and characters like nothing I have ever seen before. His creations are …
Its official. I’m the newbie at Word Travels, the amazing performing literary organisation behind such exciting events as the Australian Poetry Slam. We have a bucket-load of cool stuff coming up for the Sydney Writers’ Festival, and the best thing is, most of it is FREE. So what are you waiting for? Get on your bike and head over to …
Last week I was lucky enough to be flick-passed an invite to the Vivid Ideas program launch, which was surely the most fashionable event in Surry Hills that night. I put on my glasses in an attempt to look more intelligent, and tried to eat as many canapes as possible (which were exquisite). I nodded politely whilst viewing 3D models …
I ran into Marty J at a Chicks on Speed gig. He was going on about how a spider pig has been taking up most of his time, and now it finally makes sense. Inflatable talent! Check out this amazing video by the all female collective Kingpins as part of the series Performutations, commissioned by the good people at Artbank. …

It was indisputably the most epic drinking game I have ever encountered, and I was so impressed I decided to introduce it to the people of Australia. The game begins with a covered pool table or board, with two opponents, …
The colourful ladies from Umbrella Theatre got all gussied up last sweaty, humid Sunday. Skeletal figures, an underwater goddess, a curious doll and of course puppets all made an appearance in that picturesque Redfern alley way. A special thanks to Victor Muruet who was our wonderful photographer for the day. The full collection will be released later, but here is …
Have an opinion on arts and culture in Sydney? Well, you could go to your local fashionable cafe, sitting amongst the terrariums and deliberately mismatched furniture, sipping over priced soy lattes and contemplating Stelarc‘s latest skin graft while whinging about how studio rent is so expensive in Surry Hills OR you could read the new City of Sydney cultural policy …
Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority once again proves to be innovate and daring in its public art, historical interpretation and engagement. On Friday I attended the launch of their latest project, the Rocks Windmill. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRX2TKzQ5NI&feature=player_embedded] At first it appears to be an odd diversion, but at second glance there’s a lot more to it. The somehow sexy Costa from Gardening Australia …
We were lucky to be special guests at Jurassic Lounge for their Black Magic night on Tuesday. As High Priestess Mojo we presented a Voodoo Fondue party. Couldn’t have done it without the help of Gino & Geronimo, who played evil voodoo monkey and priestess for the night. Hundreds of curious people came through the Australian Museum, creating their own …
