Making art is a matter of life and death.

From Lynette Wallworth's documentary Tender, about a community fighting for the dignity of the dying, and Phillip Adams' & Andrew Hazewinkel's LIVE WITH IT (we all have HIV), to Hetti Perkins' celebration of the strength of Indigenous Australians expressed through art in her new series for ABC TV, and from the challenges of revolution exhibited in the life of the poet Mayakovsky in Michael Smetanin’s new opera to new projects at Dario Vacirca's Open Space, the message is clear, the struggle for survival can bring out the best in us.

And in case it's getting too melancholy we have fascinating travel tales from artists in our Dreaming Cities survey, an Archive Highlight celebration of Speak Percussion and we check out new works by Prying Eye and Lily Hibberd.

WakeCaroline Wake
RT's Sydney-based writer ruminates on the role of the review as record in theatre and performance.

"I don’t remember life without writing but, as friends and colleagues have pointed out, I rarely call it that; instead I refer to it as “typing…Some of my early reviews are clearer of eye but harder of heart. For better or worse, I am more forgiving now, all too aware of the courage it takes to create and the conditions under which most artists labour. ” More

 

McNeilly
Jodie McNeilly

RT's Sydney-based writer on dance waxes philosophical—her other passion—about the relationship between writing and movement.

"I’m prone to poetics over clear language, taking any chance to burst forth from the pith to paint the page with images and rhythms. Review writing allows me to play with language in this way. Dance and movement are rich fodder for description. When watching we usually register what we see more than what we feel. Writing is the great emancipator of the felt." More
