Support FBI and win

We’re giving away a $250 co-op bookshop voucher this Sunday morning on my radio show, Canvas, on FBI 94.5.

Along with a bunch of other prizes (here) and the warm fuzzy feeling you get from keeping this great radio station on the air, at the end of the show, someone’s gotta get the dollar-packed book voucher.

This weekend, we’ve got Simon Rann, actor, dancer and puppeteer, on his role in Philippe Genty’s Lands End. Plus Max Rapley and Steph Iredale stop by for a lowdown on Sydney Uni’s Verge Arts Festival. We’ll also be talking to Greg Shapely, curator of the Sound of Failure festival, and hearing the sounds of Marley Dawson and Chris Hanrahan’s dirt bike extravaganza ECR.

That’s 10am ’til noon, 94.5 or fbiradio.com, call on 8 33 22 945.

I’m off for a USA road trip tomorrow. Danny Jumpertz – Feral Media boss, Cyclic Defrost contributor and once upon a time presenter of The Album Show on FBI – will cover Canvas for the next month while I’m away. That’s Sunday mornings 10-12 on FBI 94.5.

I can’t imagine there are too many theatre companies that revel in walkouts. Syd Brisbane, an actor with 25 years experience who’s worked with the Sydney Theatre Company and the Australian Shakespeare Company, founded The Rabble with designer Kate Davis and lighting/production expert Emma Valente.

Their latest – a version of the Biblical tale of Herod’s step-daughter Salome (first told for stage by Oscar Wilde), radically reinterpreted for the cavernous Bay 17 stage at Carriageworks – is short on words, big on physical drama. Apparently it’s inspired a few walkouts too. I’m looking forward to seeing it this week, but this morning Syd was our guest on Canvas.
