PIAF - Theatre at the Quarry: Radio and Juliet - Quarry Amphitheatre
The trick is- not to enter the quarry with traditional expectations of “ballet” with tutus and lavish set designs. It’s all about the synchronization and symbolism. I really don’t want to give too much away- but after seeing the show, I feel so proud, and confident in Western Australian Ballet.
PIAF - Bianco: Ozone Reserve until March 1

Perth Festival: Julia Holter - Chevron Gardens - 10/02/14

Film Review: All Is Lost
As the final credits rolled, I felt completely satisfied. The film concludes without falling into any clichés and the ending itself is equal parts dramatic and graceful. All Is Lost is a fantastic look into the despair of a hopeless situation and one mans journey through it.
