Fundraising Theatre Night: Minefields and Miniskirts

at harbour theatre, fremantle

If history is told by the victors, the story of war is usually told by the blokes. Now it's the ‘sheilas' turn. Nearly 1000 Australian women had a part in the Vietnam War as entertainers, journalists, volunteers and nurses. The one thing they have in common is that their lives were changed forever by Vietnam. For many of them it was the most vital and alive they have ever felt. This is their story.

Ticket price: $30 Book now HERE!

Jugular (-not relevant in any sense-)

at the fly by night, fremantle

Careening works of tone burn holes through the lace of your fancy collar, visuals of alien scenes, grim portraits, chaotic swirls of colour, the folk sounds happy and makes you sad, the electronic makes your chest buzz and fills your head with lush lyrical oddity, a vigorous and sweaty bunch will posses your imagination with a lashing beat and a wavering voice. With a haggard cry the blues rock will roll and gets the thrashing beneath the dim lights.

JUGULAR will ever so wholesomely commence these situations with the grace of an Arctic cat, TEN MOUNTAINS will bring the Blues, THE MOLTENS the Punk, SEAN THOMAS will start the acoustics, THE GIZZARDS the electronic based cocktail known as circuit bent concept swamp pop and PUBLIC HOUSING will produce a burning noise to scour the loose hope from your insides. Then shrug it off, walk in circles a minute and out into the rain.

$5. Entry from 8pm.

Digitalism LIVE and Adrian Lux

at villa nightclub, perth

TICKETS

Some bands are dance and some are indie, some are pop and some are punk, but very few cover all bases with equal aptitude and pizzazz. DIGITALISM certainly do.

The duo are often compared to Daft Punk by lazy reviewers. Sure; it’s true both are known for throwing down exceptional beats - but the similarity ends there. Digitalism are German, not French and human, not robots. Julian Casablancas became so fond of 'em he left The Strokes long enough to co-write song 'Forrest Gump' for their stunning new album I Love You Dude; the follow-up to 2007's instantly danceable Idealism LP and the ballistic Blitz EP.

Mini Art Mart presents Carly Nasso

at ruck rover general store, mt lawley

Carly Nasso has had 20 years of exhibiting diminutive, collaged paintings and drawings of curious characters.

After living all her life in the city, Carly and her young family moved to a small Mid Western town on the edge of the wheatbelt in Western Australia. These works are directly influenced by the experience.

These new, one-off works are created with an array of materials including felt, paper, pencil, felt pen, crayon and paint.

The unusual characters are sometimes animalistic and not quite human. They exist in a world where nature and science combine with fantasy and emotion.

Carly is exhibiting at Mini Art Mart, inside Ruck Rover General Store, through May 2012.

Ayako Goto Exhibition

at kulcha, fremantle

Japanese born textile artist Ayako Goto lives in Western Australia and works as an art teacher. Her work is informed by her connection to the Australian landscape through her experiences living and teaching in the Kimberley region. She lovingly un-weaves her grandmothers' kimono to its vivid essence of thread and fragment and re-works this raw material into a graceful evocation of transience.

Free Entry Weekdays 7-31 May 10am-4pm

Metamorphosis (Group Exhibition)

at free range gallery, perth

Metamorphosis; a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one.

Curated by Perth artist Marijke Loosjes, this exhibition focuses on the notion of influence within the artistic world, more importantly the influence artists have on one another. It can range from harsh derivatives to works of art with invisible guidance.

Twelve artists were chosen to participate, paired together, one artist created a piece based around the theme of Metamorphosis, the other artist then responded to this piece. The result being two works of art, in different mediums yet with influential ties. The viewer is able to study the relationship between the pairs, within this structure the concepts are isolated and exposed.

Ideas have always been built upon, changed, made intimate. They constantly evolve and take on new forms, Metamorphosis is an inquiry into this conceptual transmutation.

Artists: Bonnie Boogaard, Calliope Bridge, Alira Callaghan, Shaun Ferraloro, Kate Greenaway, Kia Groom, Marijke Loosjes, Tatjana Pilkington, Jessica Sorci, Fedor Valiev, Lance Ward, Tim Watson

Parrramatta Girls

at old mill theatre, perth

Real-life stories of former inmates at the notorious Parramatta Girls’ Training School in NSW have been combined to create a tragic and humorous yet uplifting play, making its WA premiere at the Old Mill Theatre this May.

Written by Alana Valentine and directed by Siobhan O’Gara, Parramatta Girls follows the story of eight girls at their 40-year reunion.

The girls were innocent victims of a harsh regime but had their own ways of coping with the system that oppressed them, trying to make good in tough times. When the system spat them out, they became the mothers, sisters, work mates and wives of Australia.

Parramatta Girls plays at 8pm, May 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25 and 26 with a 2pm matinee May 20.

Tickets are $20, $15 concession – book on 9367 8719 or oldmilltheatre@iinet.net.au.

Stirling Players presents Face to Face

at stirling theatre, innaloo

A well-known Australian play will be presented with fresh eyes when young and emerging director Brendan Ellis brings David Williamson’s Face to Face to the Stirling Players stage in May.

As the first part of Williamson’s Jack Manning Trilogy, this dramatic and character-driven play takes its format in a realistic setting of ‘community conferencing.’

When a young construction worker rams into the back of his boss’s Mercedes in a fit of anger at being sacked, he is given the opportunity to discuss his actions in a community conference, rather than going straight to court.

This face-to-face confrontation between the young man, his boss, his boss's wife, co-workers, best mate and mother lifts the lid not only on his dysfunctional life but on their workplace dirty laundry, turning all of their lives upside down.

Community conferencing - an alternative method of justice that is relatively new to Australia - is explored by Williamson in this engaging and heartfelt play which celebrates the strength of community over our rigid and often seemingly unfair court system.

Face to Face plays at Stirling Theatre, Morris Place, Innaloo over 11-13, 17-20, 24-26 May 2012. All performances begin at 8pm, except for Sunday matinees at 2pm.

Bookings can be made from Tuesday 10 April 2012 through Morris News on 9440 1040. Tickets are $20 full, $18 concession and $14 members, with discounted group bookings available through Morris News.

This play contains some strong language and is suitable for mature audiences only.

Cured

at the blue room theatre, perth

An installation theatre performance written and performed by Marisa Garreffa.

There once was a village called Night where people were sent to die. Everyone in the village had a job. The most important job was Death’s. A place for everyone and everyone in their place. That is except for one girl.

One day a hospital moved into town. Suddenly no one was dying. It was during this existential dilemma that an idea occurred to the girl… It was never going to work.
