This film hits you with its immediacy and urgency so forcefully that at times my own mind was rearing away in self-preservation.
Walking away, I could hardly believe what I’d seen: a hip hop violinist, with World music running through each beat of heart and songs, dancing freely with strangers under the night sky.
What’s your favourite scary movie? Probably not Scream 7.
How is it that the most cinematic moment I’ve experienced this year came from a stage play?
A show to savour, and one I wish I could see again soon.
Adam is a wonderful performer, whose love for his Dragon interest is carried across in excitement and eagerness.
On the third date of Thornhill’s completely sold-out Bodies Australian tour, the band packed out Perth’s Astor Theatre on a Tuesday night.
Haribo Kimchi is a prismatic, one-of-a-kind experience that tells a deeply personal story many immigrants will recognise, while offering others an intimate window into what it means to carry home within you.
Improv RPG is excellent improv theatre, delivered by highly capable performers who fully understand the trappings of the genres they are working within, and who bounce off each other like old friends, spinning outlandish choices into comedic or horrific, gold.
Sit in the front row, if you can get in early enough, and you’ll be amazed at how well these performers can flip, tumble and float around just inches from your face.
