Finding your voice
John Byron has just saved me from writing a post about this, which is on Saturday. Yay! I’m going. I so want to know where my voice went. Well actually, to be serious, I’m keen to hear what other academics have to say about this, given that I’ve spent the last year writing about voices, [...]
The Operator
[Contains mild spoilers]
Last night I braved the cyclone conditions upon us here in Brisvegas to see a David Williamson play for the first time: The Operator which is on at La Boite. It was fun being in a theatre again. In another life I studied drama (and won a university prize for an essay [...]
Screaming Queens
As Margaret Cho remarked last year, it is Queensland after all, so if you’re in Brisbane tomorrow, come along to this. I’m about to go have dinner with the director, and I’m rather very extremely excited…

We thought this was a pretty timely issue to be discussing given that QUT has just been granted the first ever humanities Centre [...]

And I just noticed on the website that late on Friday night at No. 12 it’s “Black Fag Vs Ladyfest” which sounds very dangerous. It’s been a long time since [...]

Shorts include Lynne Sachs’ dreamlike film ‘The House of Science: a Museum of False Facts’, which uses visual and aural [...]
The frat house project is dead…
…Long live the frat house project. Some of you already know that I have finally found a new home. My Dad breezed into town last week to drive a mean bargain on it, so it’s back to New Farm for me. The other weekend I actually found two great places in one day: a fantastic [...]
