Hi Janet – I’m sorry to hear this, and I’m not at home so can’t check! All the different podcasts are in the same player, so is it possible you clicked on and downloaded the wrong one?

Thanks for posting this, Samsara! A lovely response. I thought you might be referring to Tamara Saulwick, but I couldn’t remember her name either 🙂

June’s Live Night, courtesy of Red Stitch Actors Theatre, is Joanna Murray-Smith’s 2013 play Fury, directed by Ella Caldwell and Brett Cousins. This time it’s a Saturday afternoon matinee, so maybe we should do coffee and cakes. It’s bound to stimulate an interesting conversation! Red Stitch is also holding two discussion events with the Islamic…[Read more]

Sadly I was only in Adelaide for a weekend and missed this one. It’s always hard with interstate festivals, you have to choose which bit to see and end up kicking yourself for what you miss! Looking forward to seeing what she does with Lorca, I must say. See you at The Bleeding Tree!

I agree that it possessed all those things. I think everyone there, from what I remember, saw those qualities in it. But like I said at the time, I had this sense of fascinating beginnings that instead of being developed in some way through the show leapt to another fascinating beginning. In my view, it’s a question about the dramaturgy.

Thanks, Keith. Yes, it would feel very unfair to review that night. It’s such a shame for the artists too, who know that’s not what they meant. But hey, that’s live performance for you! Anything might happen!
It’s going to be interesting to see how this process evolves into different spaces! Our task is really just to facilitate conversation and…[Read more]

No, I had a couple of people tell me they felt it was difficult to find a way in. It’s important for people to be feel able to step into the flow of discussion and that everyone is heard, it’s about everyone there! At the Malthouse we had about 30 people (and it was also in their bar) so people could split organically into different groups and…[Read more]

Thank you so much, all of you who came to our First Real Witness Live Night. Such an interesting conversation, and I really enjoyed the generous discussion. Team Witness was a bit thin last night – Rob had to lecture in Ballarat, and Carissa, who was supposed to be there, had to go to hospital that afternoon (lots of get well thoughts for…[Read more]

Dear all – it looks like there’s around a dozen of us coming tomorrow night (according to Arts House – it seems not everyone posted here hem hem) – can’t wait! Look out for Ben, Carissa and me in the foyer before the show, we’ll be standing there like dags holding some kind of WITNESS sign. Afterwards we’ll be gathering in the supper room at the…[Read more]

This one is going to be an absolute corker. The Bleeding Tree is Angus Cerini’s hard-hitting look at family violence, and it’s had two hugely successful Sydney seasons. I’m personally delighted I’ll be able to see it at last! The Witness Live Night is Thursday, May 17, 8pm. Arts Centre Melbourne, St Kilda Rd..
