Tracy Bartram gets waylaid by
a friend in Her Majesty's foyer - all class. |
Out
From Under
22.9.15 - Tracy Bartram
(pic) rang me late last week and invited Maria
and me to Out From Under, the Entertainment
Assist awareness and fund raiser show on at
Her Majesty's last night (Monday). Tracy sorted
the tickets and then we were in the free-loaders
circle to take in what was essentially a variety
show hosted by Julia Zemiro and MD'ed by Chong Lim.
The mini-orchestra played, the dancers danced and
everybody sang in tune - I liked it. |

The
State Theatre curtain has me yearning for choccies |
Ballet
has another crack at being inclusive
3.9.15 - On Tuesday night Maria and I went to the
State Theatre and I had another go at interpreting
ballet. There were three works on display by way
of samplers - the first featuring the music of Igor
Stravinsky, the second a world premiere from an
Australian choreographer and the third a 1987 piece
by Twyla Tharp and Philip Glass.
The first piece, featuring a battalion of 14 year
old virgins in white swimming cossies, left me cold
- apart from rhythmically there was no association
between the music (played live by Orchestra Victoria)
and what was scudding about on stage. The next two
pieces however had me more enthralled than I've
ever been at the ballet. There is hope yet. |
