Three Women

No Comments 12 October 2012

The Sylvia Plath play Three Women is not an easy play. It’s not one to see if you are looking for comic relief, a light-hearted night out or somewhere to take a first date – but if you are looking for something moving, passionate and explosively emotional, then this is the play for you. Three […]

Elbow Room: Rule of Three

No Comments 10 October 2012

You are ushered into a dark room and told to sit next to a corpse. The motionless figure is lit up by two rows of candles, each one flickering and letting off an uncomfortable smoky smell. It reminds you of a room in Madame Tussaud’s where all the disembodied wax figures hang from the ceiling. […]

Folding Australia 2012

No Comments 10 October 2012

An origami convention sounds like something for the professionals to show their skills and share information only experts can understand – but prepare to be surprised. Folding Australia is also for anyone who’s ever wanted to try out the Japanese art form but could never figure out how to start by reading a book or who’s […]

Filling The Cracks With Conversation

No Comments 10 October 2012

In this modern society of instant messaging, SMS and e-mail, human contact and conversation has slowly faded into the background of our everyday interactions – or has it? Artist Debbie Harman writes that Filling the Cracks with Conversation represents “a normal part of Melbournian life to insert little pieces of conversation wherever you can.

No Comments 10 October 2012

No Comments 10 October 2012

Scattered through the Brunswick RMIT campus, hidden in nooks and crannies, this show embodies the name Artland: a land where we lead an active and engaging hunt for art. Each of the 16 sculptures has a concept, written on a plaque next to them, which enhances the understanding and experience when viewing the sculptures. They can […]

Party At My House

No Comments 09 October 2012

Living with other people is tedious. People are known to ‘borrow’ your possessions, mock your lifestyle choices, have raucous sex during the night, and most importantly, forget that water has a boiling point. They impersonate you for entertainment, and tell other people about you – but not as much as Party At My House does. […]

Aphrodite’s Bordello

No Comments 09 October 2012

In a far-off land, on the Greek island of Lesbos, a handful of priestesses perform their “sacred service” for the slightly unconventional goddess of love, Aphrodite – but when the women in the temple find that there are no men left to get work from, they must use unconventional means to find new clientele. From […]

Sepia

No Comments 09 October 2012

It’s not an uncommon story: big business/progress/industry comes to a small town and things change. Some people ride the sparkling wave of opportunity and prosperity and others are left behind. The play Sepia is not about anything new or groundbreaking, but it portrays this frequently occurring struggle with honesty and heart.   Neil is a cuttle-fisherman […]

Pole tricks, balancing acts, chainsaw juggling, and the smooth manoeuvrings of a gymnast’s wheel will amaze and entertain you, leaving you shocked at the wonders of the physical form – a […]
