no lights no lycra

at the banks reserve pavilion, perth

A dance night based on abandoning self-consciousness and professionalism through no lights and no talking as you bust a move, NLNL has finally hit Perth after incarnations across the Eastern States.

Whilst flirting and showing off are moves that are sacrificed, what emerges is self-confidence invested within the purity of dancing as well as a killer work-out to boot. Not to mention the uplifting sight of a town hall filled with shadowy apparitions shifting shapes to Getting Jiggy With It.

$5 from 7pm.

diving for pearls

at subiaco arts centre, subiaco

The national tour of Katherine Thomson’s Diving for Pearls reaches Perth on 20 October for a one-night only performance of this historic, award-winning play. Hailed as “One of the ten best plays in the country” by Time Out magazine, Diving for Pearls is a stunning production about an Australian industrial community on the cusp of change.

Shy union member Den is trying to speak up against his factory’s threatened closure. His feisty girlfriend Barbara is on an often humorous journey to reinvent herself as a glossy hotel hostess. A secret daughter, righteous sister and pompous brother-in-law are set to tip the balance of their delicate relationship. What does the future hold for the couple and their community?

The cast is headed by Kevin Harrington (Neighbours, SeaChange, The Dish and Underbelly), who is shortly starring as Cliff Young in ABC telemovie Cliffy.

“Even a hunter cannot kill a bird which flies to him for refuge.”

Europe 1939, World War II begins. Jewish refugees flee when Poland falls to Germany. As the war progresses and the Allied forces strike back, the Soviet Union and Germany threaten to invade the refugees’ fragile safe haven in Lithuania. With borders closing, the refugees are desperate; their future looks dire whichever force may invade.

But in times of injustice, help sometimes comes from unexpected sources…

who's afraid of virginia woolf?

at the old mill theatre, south perth

After it debuted in 1962, audiences and critics alike could not get enough of Edward Albee’s masterful play – and it comes to the Old Mill Theatre this October.

A dark comedy, it portrays two couples playing games at a party, launching savage verbal attacks against each other. By the evening’s end, a stunning revelation provides a climax that has shocked audiences for years.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? plays at 8pm, October 11 - 13 and 18-  20 with a 2pm matinee October 14. Tickets are $20, $15 concession – book on 9367 8719, oldmilltheatre@iinet.net.au or online HERE

casey ayres: tunc

at ok gallery, northbridge

Exhibition runs: 18th October - 18th November 2012.

Tunc - a clipping from a Latin phrase meaning ‘then’ and a pointed anagram –continues Casey Ayres’ investigation into beauty and mythology, extending his photographic practice into a series of repurposed, sculptural ‘props’. Ayres’ draws an uneasy line between autobiography and fiction, altering and documenting his immediate surroundings as a set pursuant of a heightened, cinematic narrative following a decline into unwarranted violence and dangerous nostalgia.

ghosts

at the subiaco arts centre, subiaco

GHOSTS is a scathing commentary on 19th Century morality. Has morality changed since GHOSTS was first staged in 1882? Are people of today any different to the characters of this play? Back then, things like sexually transmitted diseases and euthanasia were definitely scandalous taboo topics! If contemporary critics of the time said things like: “...Morbid, unhealthy and disgusting... An open drain: a loathsome sore unbandaged... Nauseating and menacing... As foul and filthy a concoction as has ever been allowed to disgrace the boards of an English theatre...” then why would it be worth watching?

Well, it’s a little bit naughty... And because like any good theatre, this play has pithy writing and dramatic arc. Although it’s plot is simply that it examines a town's tribute to a prominent citizen and his widow's attempts to come to terms with the real truth of the man's life, it’s characters are layered with questions and fears and
desires that any person of today could relate to, one way or another. Under the direction of the well-experienced Stephen Lee, GHOSTS is sure to be an intriguing journey into questioning our own morality. And it’s a change from Shakespeare!
