July Theatre Reviews: From politics to police drama
I’ve been a busy little bee seeing theatre up and down the coast for the last few weeks. Though its statistically unlikely, everything I have seen has been fantastic! What a talented & innovative theatre community we have here. Bingo Unit I can’t even explain. So instead I just harassed numerous bystanders until they finally agreed to attend. Part backlot …
Kate Cebrano’s Magnet
Wow! Kate Cebrano’s new music video is a visual feast of beautiful multi-layered moving landscapes. The good folks at Billie Jean is not My Lover did something very clever, fancy & laborious to acheive this amazing visual effect. With my talented housemate leading the helm as producer.

Vivid Ideas Launch
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 …
Spider Nanny art video
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!

The Rocks Windmill
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.

The somehow sexy Costa from Gardening Australia …
