This week's show was a big arts banquet of artforms and arts events. We had a new regular feature Awesome! for the first time--a way of highlighting our tips for the best in the next week. Will Morgan delivered the Awesome! news.
Ralph Mclean met up with Stephen Jolly, City of Yarra Councillor who is currently leading a campaign to return the Fitzroy Town Hall to arts and community purposes. On the steps of the nineteenth century building.
Karen Hadfield is the Artistic Director of the Big West Festival, having its first annual outing in the artsy corners of Melbourne's West. The Festival ranged in content from a revival of the So You Think You Can Cow? cult theatre and music and participation event through to community storytelling and even some High Art!
In its early history, Short and Sweet Cabaret was about to grace the boards of Chapel off Chapel in South Yarra. We caught David Read, Director of the event, in his preparationis for cabaret that's always short and sometimes sweet.
Andrew Scarano is the writer/director of a new film Into the Shadows, about the Australian film distribution and exhibition industry. He spoke with Ralph Mclean about his experience of growing up in Canberra and dreaming of making (and showing) films.
Our picks of the week were the Sookie Stackhouse Books, Le Salon, Prime Mover, Grizzly Trap and Asbestos House with picjers Fiona Jordan, Maryanne Caleo, Misha Adair, Ralph Mclean and Hermione Gilchrist.
