"Ultimately, I would like a festival such as Hear Her Now to make its own premise less necessary. A dedicated festival can draw attention to an imbalance very effectively. It can demonstrate the scale, quality and variety of the repertoire in a concentrated way. But the goal cannot be for music by women to live permanently in a separate category." https://tinyurl.com/yk2z8ac8

"All in all, Topp’s Macbeth feels like it achieves a rare thing in bringing this hugely famous historic work to new life (through dance) and in ways that don’t diminish its original fire which shows us the dark depths of our capacities for destruction when possessed by unquenchable desires for supreme (and ultimately unattainable) power." https://tinyurl.com/4nmaf3hj West Australian Ballet

Inside Will O'Mahony's Day (After Day) In The Life Of The Useless is a cautionary tale about making people and their feelings redundant, a phrase that these days is synonymous with AI. O’Mahony is onto something when he conjures with the term “useless”. It is benign when applied to an object that doesn’t work, but dangerous when applied to human beings. Entire regimes have been built on the belief that certain people no longer serve a purpose.

There is a Buddhist philosophy that if a man loves his wife, he should steal something from her. That way, she will have to find him in the afterlife to get it back. Death of a Chatterbox, a rakugo performed by Halit Mizirakli, takes us on a slightly different postmortem journey. Following a man and his companions on a boat crossing a river, the story draws on Buddhist ideas of the afterlife and who we might meet there – as well as the consequences of our actions.

Commissioned through Circus WA’s Emerging Directors Program, The Raft was devised from ideas contributed by the performers, who were aged 14 to 20. The result suggests a richly democratic and inclusive performance-making process that consolidated the team’s range of voices while extending and refining the work’s direction. It is exciting to consider the legacy such a holistic, cooperative process may have in these young people’s futures – and, I hope, in their continuing performance-making practices. https://bit.ly/3UE285w Circus WA

Miss Kaninna's music rolls effortlessly through funk-driven, thick-n-dirty bass, old-school hip-hop, soul, R&B, bass-heavy high-BPM tracks, big 808s, mass drops. I feel Missy Elliott. I feel Last Poets. I feel BARKAA. I feel Briggs. And her singing voice belts with skill, talent, power. https://bit.ly/4gtrprH

Structured around these themes of lust, love, gambling, food, and the unpredictability of Fortune, Carmina Burana is a rollicking ride for choir and orchestra, based on selected poems from a Mediaeval manuscript dating back to the 11th century.https://bit.ly/4chPcbB

Dr. Marion Kickett’s Nidja Boodjar Danjoo (Here on Country Together) is a powerful and necessary work of restorative truth-telling. Centred on the lived experience of the Barladong Noongar people on the York Native Reserve, the book is at once family memoir, cultural record and act of historical reclamation.
