RealTime E-dition

In this week’s RealTime, a multitude of lay and professional performers execute the deeply absorbing A Wave and Waves [image above] in Perth’s Totally Huge New Music Festival, a key event for Australian afficionados of adventurous music-making. Near Cootamundra in southern NSW, the audience for the Wired Open Day Festival come into intimate contact with earth, insects and a landscape honoured and transformed by art. In Lismore, director Kirk Page reflects on the making of Djurra, the forthcoming multimedia performance that celebrates the Bundjalung culture of north-eastern NSW.

The resounding ‘yes’ vote for marriage equality legislation came as a great relief, until those same politicians who instituted the postal process (avoiding parliamentary responsibility and hoping for an indifferent public response) commenced demanding discriminatory, theocratic rights out of place in a democracy. The fight continues. Keith & Virginia

UOW
Wired
AGRI-CULTURAL MAGIC    Viewing boxes scattered across a paddock conjure a heritage-listed shearing shed and Kenyan elephants loom sonically beneath a starry sky in this year's Wired Open Day Festival in regional NSW, writes Neill Overton.
Djurra
DJURRA: SHARING CULTURE        Director Kirk Page tells Keith Gallasch about Djurra, a multimedia performance merging the creation story of the Bundjalung nation of north-eastern New South Wales with contemporary reality, a work at once celebratory and emotionally fraught.
regroup
THE ART OF VIDEOGRAPHIC PERFORMANCE      Jackson Davis, UOW graduate and a core member of the re:group performance collective reflects on education, the wonders of the internet, influences and works about space travel and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Three Sisters
SEEING DOUBLE     Keith Gallasch tries to forget Chekhov's Three Sisters and see the STC adaptation on its own terms, but finds deeply engaging performances denied a supportive conceptual framework.
Totally Huge
TOTALLY HUGE PLEASURES
DDC's Glitch maelstrom, A Wave and Waves' massive ebb and flow and Anne LeBaron's playful creations deliver sensory and dramatic pleasures for Jonathan W Marshall at this year's Totally Huge New Music Festival
FORM
DANCING WITH DIFFERENCE
In FORM's Common Anomalies, Pauline Manley encounters a perpetually transforming Bhenji Ra, Imanuel Dado undoing the black and white of making choices, and Carl Sciberras cooking up soup and dance.
Jungle
JUNGLE'S SENSORY JOURNEY
Greg McLean's "willingness to break away from realism into bold expressionistic territory, without ever losing sight of the real humans behind the drama, makes his new film, Jungle, striking," writes Katerina Sakkas.
