...Dada's own Jess Hutchens as Jane Harris. She plays last.

This is the last chance to see Greg play before he leaves for Melbourne. Also most likely the last chance to see Jess play before she leaves for Europe. John doesn't have plans on moving away as far as i know but, it is his second gig so is still worth making an effort to see.

Traianos is bringing his urn. We're going to fill it with water. We're also bringing tea, sugar, milk, cups and spoons. You can use all of them. FOR FREE.

Love and Care Cafe are doing their Gado Gado and Chicken Satay Sticks again. They cost money, but are unreasonably cheap.

Raz Bin Sam WA tour!

man from israel makes peace through his reggae music

Raz Bin Sam, a Jewish artist with a dynamic style and sound, comes from a small town in the centre of Israel. His culture is ancient, war ridden and clouded with conflict. Inspired to shed light on his people’s story, Bin Sam moved to Australia to produce his works in English aiming to spread the Israelite truth internationally. In July 2007 Raz Bin Sam has signed with Jamaican label ‘DasVibes’ to become one of their team artistes alongside some of the biggest names in the game such as Daddy Rings, Gentleman, Elijah Prophet and Raz Bin Sam’s highly anticipated album OWN THIS LIFE is due for Australia / NZ release on July 2nd through Planet / MGM / South Bound, with tour dates across the country to support this exciting and dynamic release, stopping for the first time in WA for 4 shows. The album features productions by Melbourne producer Mista Savona, Israeli producers Sabbo & Kuti and English producer Stephen Mosco of Jah Warrior Records.

Internationally, the track ’Something To Remember’ of the album was released as a single through DasVibes in 2009 and went straight in at No.1 on the US Independent Reggae Charts. It remained at this position for 4 weeks running before staying at No.2 for another 3 weeks. The second single from the album ‘Life Is A gift’ featuring Jamaican reggae artist Ray Darwin was released in a little later that year and was selected for the CD compilation of the April 09 edition of Riddim Magazine, the number one reggae magazine in Europe.

After years of live performances at some of our most popular festivals including ‘Splendour In The Grass’, and countless solo performances, Raz has established a strong and dedicated live following. Teamed up with Selecta Major Krazy to form Blaze Fire Sound, a traditional dancehall style sound system. The pair will be playing all original roots reggae and dancehall tunes.

Exhibitions continue until Saturday 19 September.

Fashioning Now: changing the way we make and use clothes

Australian designers Romance was Born, Issey Miyake and other high-profile practitioners prove that sustainability and fashion can coexist in this international exhibition.

Sustainability is becoming integral to the way clothing is produced, used and discarded. Fashioning Now explores various methods that are rooted in low-impact production. Fashioning Now includes garments, textile objects, photography, illustration and video.

Curated by Alison Gwilt, Course Director, Fashion and Textile Design, University of Technology, Sydney, and Timo Rissanen, Assistant Professor, Fashion Design and

Sustainability, Parsons the New School of Design, New York. With contributions by Alex Martin; Alison Gwilt; Bijan Sheikhlary; Helen Story, Issey Miyake (from the collection of Dr Gene Sherman); Jennifer Shellard; Kate Fletcher; Mike Betts and Mark Holt, Better Thinking; Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales, Romance was Born; and Timo Rissanen.

Nairn Scott: The Glomesh Project

Gold is the ultimate status symbol which resonates across history and all cultures. Valuable gold fob watches and lavish candelabra sit alongside gloriously cheap nick-nacks from the Two Dollar Shop. Meticulously printed on hand-gilded paper, Scott bestows an elegance on the enduring and the disposable, the real and fake. The playful interchange of Scott’s ‘pick-and-mix’ aesthetic exposes the folly of equating good taste with social status.

Scott is represented by James Dorahy Project Space, Sydney

Mark Parfitt: Dream Bore

Inspired by the humble bore, Perth artist Mark Parfitt celebrates the life supply of more than 80,000 suburban backyards. His own bore made redundant, Parfitt seeks alternative uses for this Western Australian icon. Assuming the self-reliant mindset of so many ‘can-do’ homeowners, Parfitt converts his home-made bore into an underground garden. Dream Bore is a fond and humorous application of recycling and reinvention to this backyard staple. The garden is accompanied by his exploratory drawings and diagrams and an artists’ book by Jamie Macchiusi (WA) and Gemma Weston (WA).

Parfitt is represented by Galerie Düsseldorf, Perth. Supported by the Janet Holmes à Court Artists’ Grant which is a NAVA initiative, mad e possible through the generous

sponsorship of Mrs Janet Holmes à Court and through the support of the Visual Arts Board, Australia Council for the Arts

Vera Möller: darkrooming

Vera Möller (VIC) creates an eerie and luminous installation in which over 3,000 components glow and oscillate. In what Möller has characterised as a ‘museum of fictional species’, strange, organic forms are withered and calcified, accentuating the alien qualities of nature. Informed by her studies in theology and microbiology, Möller’s fantastical work is simultaneously bathed in an atmosphere of decline while predicting the emergence of new aberrant life.

Represented by Philip Bacon Galleries, Brisbane; Sophie Gannon Gallery, Melbourne; and Tim Olsen Gallery, Sydney

PICA's Winter Exhibitions

loads coming up at pica ..

PICA is pleased to present three exciting new exhibitions over the winter months.

Rounds is a group exhibition, featuring works by some of Western Australia's most exciting young artists. Curated by Sarah Rowbottam, this exhibition takes over PICA's ground floor and deals with the idea of peer influence.

Upstairs in the Westend Gallery is a solo exhibition by respected WA artist Bevan Honey, which include massive structures knitted out of cray pots, drawings and a burn-out machine!

In the screen space is the first ever screening in Australia of Spanish/German artist Ignacio Uriate's work: The History of the Typewriter Recited by Michael Winslow. Winslow may be familiar to some as the star of the 80s Police Academy films with the unique 'sound effects' talent. This film is accompanied by a series of prints.

i demand to know the dates of these exhibitions!

Young Enough to do it anyway

August - November 2010, proudly supported by the City of Perth

Key to the City: 21 years of adventurous WA theatre making

The Blue Room Theatre, celebrating 21 years as Perth’s home to independent theatre, continues its milestone year with a brand new season of original, risk-taking performance: Young Enough to do it anyway, proudly supported by the City of Perth, launching on 22 July 2010.

Following the current season, Old Enough to know better..., Young Enough to do it anyway (August - November 2010), cements The Blue Room Theatre’s place as a leading performing arts resource organisation in Australia with six world premiere productions and multiple cross-continent collaborations by established and emerging professional theatre makers.

In August we start by welcoming back locals Hook in Eye Productions (Alaska, 2009) with the debut of Gasp by WA playwright Suzanne Rofe - award-winning designers combine steampunk stylings with Perth’s hottest acting talent to spotlight the flaws and fiction in our mental health system; while Perth’s own Zack Adams (Shane Adamczak) reacquanits himself with The Blue Room Theatre in his solo exploration of love, loss and ginger beards LOVE SONGS FOR FUTURE GIRL - a comedic musical journey in search of ‘The One’.

September begins with The Pride, a surreal and dark domestic comedy by Side Pony Productions (Heart of Gold, 2009, Scarecrow, 2006) that projects the characteristics of lions onto humans, co-created by director Zoe Pepper and an ensemble cast; and Jack & Jill by writer/director Jessica Craig-Piper brings a new team of creatives together in a portrait of morality and obsession - when a father dies, the small-town son seeks out the urban-dwelling sister he’s never met, only to be adopted by her friends as their latest art project.

October brings an exploration of extended lifespan and A.I. technologies by Canberra cross-artform collective Last Man To Die in their self-titled blend of drawing, percussion and performance - transforming the theatre into a museum from the future where your interaction with each ‘exhibit’ determines a unique performance; and celebrating Pride month is John Aitken’s latest offering R & J as performed by William Shakespeare and the Earl of Southampton, seeing the Bard and his muse lock horns workshopping a tale of ‘star-crossed lovers’.

November rounds out the season with Dawn Albinger’s solo No Door On Her Mouth - a philosophical answer and performative response to the question of how to say “I love you” without it meaning “I wonder if I am loved”, featuring dramaturgy by Margaret Cameron (VIC) and video art by Sam James (NSW); and drawing it all to a close, emerging writer/director Nate Doherty’s House of fun! incorporates real-life stories into a humourous new play that mirrors and dissects the modern phenomenon of share-house living.

Subscriptions to this 21st birthday season are available from as little as $48 and can be purchased through The Blue Room Theatre’s new online ticketing system which attracts absolutely no booking fees!

Still with some of the lowest priced drinks in Northbridge, The Blue Room Theatre bar (cool in summer, heated in winter) is the place to hang out before and after shows. Make your night complete with our drink and toasted sandwich deal for only $8! And yes, you can take your drinks into the theatre.

Break the rules, not the bank, and take your friends on a theatrical adventure to The Blue Room Theatre: Old Enough to know better... Young Enough to do it anyway, August – November 2010, proudly supported by the City of Perth.
