25.01.2022 Wow! A move like this will bring so many new opportunities.

22.01.2022 I have been incredibly lucky to work, across the years, on numerous, incredible shows and with amazing artists who, often, debut their work and their careers in the vital hothouse that is The Blue Room Theatre. We understand that The Australia Council have the hardest of decisions to decide who the multi-year funding recipients will be. Made all the harder with a shrinking pot of money. The timing of the release of the list of successful (and therefore also the unsuccessful) recipients is particularly cruel. I am gutted that two of my clients The Blue Room Theatre and incredible STRUT Dance and my friends over at Barking Gecko Theatre Co missed out. I have no words.

22.01.2022 Sad days indeed.

21.01.2022 Today Ive had a flash of normality and am beyond thrilled to announce that the incredible tour of A Fortunate Life that was abruptly cancelled in March, is hitting the road again in Perth (by popular demand) and will be in Ace Cinemas - Rockingham from 14 August. https://www.facebook.com/events/2458667070836424/

21.01.2022 Australia’s cultural and creative sector is a $111.7bn industry: six times the size of the aviation industry, employing substantially more people than mining, and with several interdependent industries whose success relies on ours, including hospitality and tourism, said Jessica Machin, Executive Director of West Australian Ballet. The majority of Australia’s 50,000 practising professional artists and 600,000 creative industry workers will not be covered by stimulus measure...s announced to date, either because of their casual working arrangements, or because their employers’ complex cashflows render them ineligible to access workers’ support on their behalf. If you love TV, Music, Film, Art, gigs, you have to love the people who make it happen for you. Those like me in front to the camera, or on stage, and those who make me look good, film me, edit me, light me, write for me, direct me, support me. We are a team that bring you the stuff that makes you laugh, cry, sing, dance and forget. So remember us now, said television host and Artistic Director of the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Julia Zemiro. #CreateAustraliasFuture Image credit: Anthony Tran STRUT Dance - Hofesh in the Yard

20.01.2022 Ive seen this in a few places now (originally from the US) and think it sums up perfectly how we feel about this sector... "In theatre we have a tradition- whenever the theatre is empty we are always sure to leave one light on. Typically on a stand in the center of the stage, this light is known as the ghost light. There are many stories about its origin- but it’s meaning is unmistakable. It means though the theatre is empty, WE WILL RETURN. So here’s to us. The actors, the ...technicians, the directors, the carpenters, the designers, the dancers, the teachers, the students, the freelancers, those on tour, those at sea, the electricians, the stitchers, the makers, the stage managers.... THE ARTISTS. Many of us have taken big hits during this virus. Financial and emotional weights have come crashing down as our entire industry is reduced to nothing but a bunch of ghost lights. But those ghost lights are temporary place holders. They are a sign. We might be down now- but our passion, our creativity, our drive is still centre stage. We’ll be unplugging those ghost lights in no time. Until then- here’s a ghost light- to let the world know we will be back."

18.01.2022 I love this venue so much. It’s such a stunning theatre so rich in history...and to think it was nearly knocked down several decades ago when the government of the day went through their knock everything that’s old down phase. The current renovations are stunning and I (and Graham Lovelock) can’t wait to reveal something special that’s planned for 2021 at His Majesty’s Theatre.

18.01.2022 It appears that 1 in 4 West Australians are keen to get back to seeing live events. I know we sure cant wait! Will be interesting to watch as the return and the new measures taken for safety are rolled out over the coming months. #liveperformance #theatre #venues #perthisok

18.01.2022 Such exciting and welcome news! Thanks all at Fringe World Festival really looking forward to January 2021.

15.01.2022 Very excited to welcome Michael to the team on this project Graham Lovelock and I have been busy working on

14.01.2022 Please take your seats, the show is about to start... Never have I been more overjoyed to welcome an audience into a venue! Our first performance of the resumed tour of AB Facey's - A Fortunate Life is at 11am and we couldnt more delighted. As one of the first professional theatre companies to return to the stage we also acknowledge how fortunate we are to be in this position.... If you have missed live theatre, and would like to be part of a unique and innovative live theatre in cinema experience, then I encourage you to head down to Ace Cinemas - Rockingham. You can book tickets, find performance times and details and other locations at www.afortunatelife.com.au

11.01.2022 The true figures of the impact of the arts and the support it receives.

10.01.2022 The HOO-HAA crew are amazing. After creating loads of laughs for the kids with The Little HOO HAA for the last 2 weeks, tonight they are creating laughs for the big kids to celebrate 18 years as Perth’s longest running improv show. Can’t wait to see what’s in store. Congrats to everyone but especially Sam Longley and Libby Klysz. You’re both incredible!

09.01.2022 Due to popular demand AB Facey's - A Fortunate Life has returned for another Metro Perth season - this time at Grand Cinemas Warwick. Saturday 14th Nov at 3pm is already sold out but tickets still available for other shows. Dont miss out: www.afortunatelife.com.au

09.01.2022 Arts and Business sole trader / freelancer matesthis one is for you! When life gives you lemons, ask for salt and tequila! Well, at the risk of stating the obvious aren’t we are living in unsettling times! Friday was tough for us all but especially for those that are sole traders or freelancers. Those of us in the arts sector already do it hard with few of us having any kind of buffer, but one of our strongest traits is that we are resourceful! ... So, after counting the losses (real and potential) Ive dusted myself off and thought of ways I can still contribute to the sector. I have a stack of skills to share so have decided to launch my SKILLS SHARE package. Are you looking for a sounding board, a mentor, wanting to connect or even just underscore your knowledge? Are these some of the areas you always wanted some professional advice for: Marketing Plans and Strategies Media Releases Grant Applications Social Media Ideas Sponsorship Brainstorming Branding Strategies General Business Strategies Then I can help! This forced down-time is the ideal opportunity to reassess where you want to take your arts projects or brand and start forward planning. Do you want to recreate, reinvent or refresh what you do and how you approach it? Lets face it, these are often the changes that get shoved to the side because we are too busy doing what we do. Well, the time is now! For 25+ years, Ive been lucky enough to work right across our wide and varied creative sector from performing arts, to publishing, broadcasting, visual arts, music, broad based arts membership and numerous other genres and, while running my own arts marketing consultancy since 2011 continue to lecture in arts management at WAAPA. Sound great? But, what’s the cost? By donation only. Yep that’s right! If ever there was a time to come together it's now! Everyone is in a different situation but it doesn’t make the need any less. For one hour you can pick my brain, run ideas past me, ask for suggestions or advice; it’s up to you and you just pay what you can afford. And of course in the spirit of social distancing we’ll be catching up via Zoom, FaceTime, Skype whatever works. If this sounds like something you can benefit from, drop an emoji below that best describes your arts, your mood or what you want to achieve and Ill message you. Or send me a note at [email protected] so we can chat about how I can help you. PS. Stay tuned for my downloadable SKILLS SHARE package that will give you some tips and a step-by-step guide on how to get started if you are new to promoting your own arts venture and how to knock your own publicity and marketing out of the park.

07.01.2022 To theatergoers everywhere: We love you. We miss you. And we want nothing more than to be with you again. For right now, the only way to stick together is to ...be apart. But remember, this is #OnlyIntermission. And everyone loves a great second act. art by @frogers See more
