Deep.Blue.300

For decades, influential musicians have espoused threadbare rhetoric about eroding barriers between the audience and staged performers, composers and instrumentalists, music and dance, classical and popular music, but I've never seen an example that blitzes quite so many borders, often guarded by strict passport controls, in one show.

Dr Brown Brown Brown Brown Brown and His Singing Tiger: The Kids' Show almost epitomises what theatre for kids (of all ages) should be like. The show Phil Burgers and Stuart Bowden perform is relatable to adults as well, and the kids and I imagine much of the comedy they presented onthe Brisbane Festival Spiegeltent stage today was just the PG version of their adult comedy.

have-my-stuff-300

Grant has struck upon comedy gold with her hoarding habits and the stories that go along with her collection of clutter. Deeply personal, sometimes thought provoking and at all times highly amusing, Grant's show Have My Stuff is truly well done.

lorfeo300

Emotion and reason, human impulse and stubborness, bravery and stupidity - it is so hard to find the harmony. The harmony is found with wonderful performers weaving in, out and around the orchestra - a sort of impromptu party rather than a formal opera, where every cast member, be it vocal or orchestral, plays an integral part.

Lake Eyre's landscapes transform before your eyes as dancers' bodies merge and collide, float and tumble, stretch and collapse, moving through a stream of endlessly beautiful stage pictures.

after-all-this_large-300


Executed with courage and finesse, After All This is a marvellous creation that brings to life the morbid questions at the back of everyone's minds. If you can get your hands on a ticket, After All This is definitely a show well-worth seeing, and is infinitely engaging for a predominantly text based piece.

UndergroundFINAL300

Underground is designed to provide a really good night out, and it achieves that wholeheartedly. It is joyful, fun and invigorating, true escapism capped off with a whole lot of glitter and confetti.  Underground is a definite must see in this year's Brisbane Festival.
