My initial list of 5 Comedy Festival shows has blown out to about 13. I've lost count. Reviews to follow at some stage, long after they might have been useful to anyone. Hannah Gadsby has unexpectedly turned out to be one of my favourites this year. A lot of the other shows I've seen have felt like a solid 45 minutes of material stretched thin to fill an hour show.
BILL HENSON
A. and I finally managed to see the Bill Henson exhibition at Tolarno Galleries yesterday, on its final day. Very glad we did. Bodies, landscapes, and gallery patrons dissolving into the sublime. His use of light is exquisite: corpse-blue nudes hit with sparks of fire-red.
EXCITING NEWS
A. and I have had a project accepted as part of the Emerging Writer's Festival EWFdigital programme. I'll post more details closer to the launch, but the basic ideas is a series of urban fantasy micro-stories inspired by photographs of Melbourne.
We went to a wedding yesterday, for our dear friends Alex and Berni. It was a beautiful ceremony amongst the ferns in the Fitzroy Gardens Conservatory. Afterwards there was the reception at Deck Ten, looking down over the city. And after that, we went to the Festival Club.
Technically I woke up today at about 9:30. But I've spent most of the day staring blankly into the middle distance. I was going to go see some more late shows tonight, but I think I'd rather be a functional human being. An early night and a productive day tomorrow sounds lie a plan.
