25.01.2022 In London this Friday? Take yourself along to the Live Art Development Agency for the celebration of a distinctive dimension of the RealTime Archive. The launch of a new LADA Study Room Guide, Timely Readings: A Study on Live Art in Australia, by Australian artists Madeleine Hodge and Sarah Rodigari will take place Friday 6 September alongside a program of screenings from our region, including Club Ate’s Ex Nilalang and Amala Groom’s The Union. The guide, in the form of a dou...ble-sided poster, poetically maps the evolution of live art in Australia through the pages of RealTime and artist responses, and is accompanied by an in-depth interview with the RT Editors about the history of the interplay between British and Australian live art. Like UNSW Library’s In Response: Dialogues with RealTime, Madelaine and Sarah’s mapping creatively furthers the value and reach of the RealTime Archive. Our thanks go to them, to LADA for commissioning them and to the Australia Council for additional support. 6 September, Live Art Development Agency, The Garrett Centre, 117 Mansford Street, London, E2 6LX. Admission is free, but please book https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lada-screens-club-ate-and-time See more

24.01.2022 The final edition of RealTime celebrates the launching on 17 April of the archiving of the complete print editions 1994-2015 on the National Library of Australia’s TROVE website. The digitisation was initiated by UNSW academics and the UNSW Library which formed a partnership with the NLA, both institutions recognising the cultural and historical value of RealTime. We are deeply grateful for their support. Improving the overall archive, we’ve upgraded the RealTime website, a treasure house of all editions placed online 1994-present, numerous features, a host of audio and video delights and some new content.

23.01.2022 In this edition, we focus on anxiety. At worse, it’s the kind triggered by a dictatorial Australian Government’s sudden erasure of the Arts from the title of a new mega-department. At best it’s in the form of The Big Anxiety Festival, which "brings together artists, scientists and communities to question and re-imagine the state of mental health in the 21st century. Curation by Jill Bennett and Bec Dean is superb, as is the spacious yet intimate exhibition design by Anna Tre...gloan. Focusing on r e a and Judy Atkinson’s listen_UP, Eugenie Lee’s Breakout My Pelvic Sorcery and a selection of other challenging creations, Keith recounts his experience of immersive artworks that test preconceptions, heighten the senses and expand the capacity for empathy, often in works made by sufferers themselves. Also in this edition, Ensemble Offspring supports bold new Australian compositions with inventive staging, and Branch Nebula brings spectacle to public space with DEMO. http://bit.ly/RT_9Dec2019 See more

20.01.2022 RealTime Extra! As we continue to refine and build on the RealTime archive, we thought you’d enjoy reading about the joyous launch at UNSW Library Exhibition Space by Professor Sarah Miller OA of the complete 1994-2015 print editions of RealTime on the National Library of Australia's Trove website. Adding substantially to the RealTime archive are contributions in this edition from long-time RealTime associates Caroline Wake and Erin Brannigan. Focusing on Sydney performance,... art and refugees, and errant arts funding policies, Caroline looks back on the years she wrote extensively for RealTime. Erin, who commenced writing for us in 1997, bravely corrals RealTime’s enormous coverage of dance across Australia. As well, we’re publishing two fascinating essays commissioned by RealTime towards the kind of book we need in this country. Jana Perkovic charts a diminishing preoccupation with ‘liveness’ across the period; Andrew Fuhrmann personally grids the city according to his encounters with pivotal works at non-mainstream venues.

19.01.2022 In our coverage of OzAsia Festival 2019, Festival Director Joseph Mitchell and Keith Gallasch discuss performances that will test forms, intensify audience experience and further cross-cultural collaboration, alongside a potently interdisciplinary visual arts program. OzAsia continues in Adelaide until Nov 3. https://www.realtime.org.au/2019-ozasia-festival-dissolvin/

15.01.2022 Hi RealTimers. Welcome to the latest edition of our occasional archival series. We add to our record of responses to his creations and collaborations a new, in-depth interview with one of the unsung heroes of Sydney’s dance, music and performance scenes, video artist Sam James. The interview includes insights into motivation and technique and access to a powerful new creation, Panic Embrace, alongside other fascinating animations. Good reading, good viewing, Keith

04.01.2022 Last week, as part of the In Response: Dialogues with RealTime exhibition at UNSW Library, the directors of performance company Branch Nebula, Lee Wilson and Mirabelle Wouters, casually quizzed each other amid images of their work about meeting in Belgium, forming a company, parenting (once touring taxingly with very young children in South America), their shared and discrete artistic roles, intuitive communication and a vision which has seen them constantly experiment with f...orm, site and their relationship with audiences, communities and artists, including parkourists, BMX-bikers and skateboarders. Although disputing, without elaboration, the notion of reviewing as dialogue (’not the time for that discussion,’ they said), Lee and Mirabelle warmly thanked the RealTime editors for their continuing support over many years, not least when Branch Nebula was otherwise not reviewed by the mainstream press given a perceived difficulty of categorising their work. Another fascinating evening. Next up in this series is the wonderful Vicki Van Hout on 10 April, 6.30pm, followed by the launch by Professor Sarah Miller of the RealTime archive on 17 April (with performances), both at UNSW Library.
