The Perf: October 2010
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Apologies, The Trial and Namatjira. It seems that more than not when I post something on this blog, it starts with an apology for a lack of updates. Sorry about that, maybe I should just stop promising these things! And just a general amount of crazy things happening in our personal lives, that things have been put on the back burner here at The Perf. The Trial – STC. Surely, if an old Aboriginal person knocked on your d...

The Perf: Woyzeck - B Sharp
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010/08/woyzeck-b-sharp.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Monday, August 16, 2010. Woyzeck - B Sharp. So I was a little bit worried about seeing Woyzeck, and as it begun with a series of dances in the Belvoir foyer, it took a short time for that fear to dissipate. Will it be a Venga boys dance number? I would really like a Venga Boys dance number” rather than worrying about the characters in the scene, or even the theatrical language. (For the record, there is no Venga Boys dance number). Ali, I will look ...

The Perf: December 2009
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Monday, December 7, 2009. A Midsummer Night's Dream - Belvoir Downstairs. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Simon, Jenni and Nathan intend to review and provide responses to theatre. Originally this blog was about students judging work in terms of their emerging artistic practices. We're no longer students, so now this blog is about "emerging artists" responding to work in terms of their emerging artistic practices. Simon - binns dot s at gmail dot com.

The Perf: July 2010
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Then we wouldn’t have to read about it. Instead we’d probably be reading about a c-list celebrity’s haircut disaster…. Models of famous couples from history, which are placed on a long table in the centre of the room. This process continues until the couple runs out of stories. 8221; This one was, and I sincerely hope it will be restaged at some point so you can all get along to it. Monday, July 26, 2010. 8220;When we revie...

The Perf: The Bougainville Photoplay Project
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010/11/bougainville-photoplay-project.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. The Bougainville Photoplay Project. When I first saw The Bougainville Photoplay Project at the Olf Fitz last year, I was blown away. I expect to like version 1.0 (which I learnt recently is spelt with a non-captialised vshows, but they always manage to surprise me. I wrote a bit about it for this blog at the time which you can find here. 8221; sort of review, the answer is yes you should). January 1, 2011 at 4:41 AM.

The Perf: January 2010
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. The narrative itself, however, was abysmal. When Giselle’s father, the narrator, climbed atop the telegraph pole and began to introduce us to the characters and their relationships, I was irked, but permissive. Surely this part is just putting the story into the space so that the imagery does not need to rely on storytelling? 8232;It wasn’t all terrible. The scenes between Giselle and her mentally-ill brother w. I will o...

The Perf: Gwen In Purgatory - Belvoir
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010/08/gwen-in-purgatory-belvoir.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Gwen In Purgatory - Belvoir. Gwen is 90 and has just moved into a new house. Not just any house, but rather one of those new development type places that exist on the edges of towns and look like they were bought from IKEA and then simply put together on site. The sort of place one drives past and thinks “who would ever want to live out here? Its a question plaguing playwrights all the time. September 17, 2010 at 9:25 PM.

Tonight marks the start of Quarterbred's Tiny Stadiums Festival, taking place over the next two weeks in Erskineville. You can find more information at www.quarterbred.blogspot.com. It would be great to see you there! Thursday, February 11, 2010. Belated) Sydney Festival Wrap-Up. Also, almost as a gentle reminder, I just received a Sydney Festival t-shirt in the mail. 8232;A few days after Giselle, I saw Muziektheater Tra...

The Perf: The Helpmanns and helping ourselves.
http://theperftheatre.blogspot.com/2010/09/helpmanns-and-helping-ourselves.html
Some people who think about theatre on a regular basis. Sunday, September 12, 2010. The Helpmanns and helping ourselves. There was a big theatre awards ceremony this week? Surely as a blog that presents itself as a place for theatre commentary, “The Perf” should be writing about it (I hear you say). Well guess what, we are! First off, I know most theatre commentators have already discussed this topic, but I feel the need to get something off my chest…. Nathan and myself are in this one! It’s going ...
