COSMONAUT, Melbourne Fringe 2016

No Comments 20 September 2016

Words by Eliza Janssen Don’t be deceived into thinking Cosmonaut is simply a one-man show. As soon as the house lights dim, writer and performer Ryan Good ropes some poor rube in the front row into a series of increasingly intimate acts inspired by the questionable romantic advice of women’s magazine Cosmopolitan. For privacy’s sake, let’s call […]

You Must Come Alone To Read The Last Book On Earth, Melbourne Fringe 2016

No Comments 20 September 2016

Words by Brianna Bullen I sit alone at a desk. I’m at a library at the end of a long line of restaurants in Docklands, overlooking the water. I can see through a strip of glass outside to construction sites, half-finished but dense, as the book seems to be at times. Ripe for transformation. The […]

No Comments 20 September 2016

Words by Fabrice Wilmann As I entered the small basement-like space of Clover Club in Albert Park, I was greeted by the now-sombre sounds of Starman by David Bowie. As I left, the entire cast was dancing to the theme song from Men in Black – donning mandatory black sunglasses of course. AREA 51 is […]

Words by Brianna Bullen “Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home.

Who We Were, MFF 2016

No Comments 15 September 2016

Words by Eliza Janssen  Along with incessant photographic documentation and a militant attitude towards political correctness, millennials have long been accused of being fervently proud of their childhoods for no apparent reason. I should know. I’m a certified member of this mob. Merely mentioning the early 2000’s in the right group of 18-to-25-year-olds is enough to […]

Black to the Future, Melbourne Fringe 2016

No Comments 15 August 2016

Words by Fabrice Wilmann Racial divisions remain at the forefront of the American cultural landscape – a thread embedded in American history that has continued to unravel in the present, with no discernible end in sight.

Tell me about the show you’re bringing to Fringe. It’s called Awesome Ocean Party, and it’s a solo-show about a girl who thinks […]
