My Fringe World 2015 'Must Sees'

Froget Christmas! Fringe World is officially my favourite time of year in Perth. The city comes to life with activity, with people, with performers and with awesome artistic displays, tinselled with strings of pretty lights. It's the time of year you remember that living in Perth is actually pretty awesome!

One week in and Fringe has certainly whisked me away. There are so many amazing things to go and see. Last Friday I saw Big Titty Ha Ha: Hard Time which was a bit of fun and I went to see Mummy on Tuesday night, written by Mick Devine and starring Claire Munday - it was absolutely incredible! A great peice of writing coupled with sensational acting, it was funny, quick witted, morbid and sad all at the same time.

There's still about another 3 weeks of Fringe World and here are a few of my 'Must sees' for this year:

10,000
Great new play by two Perth writer/actors about a couple who get thrown into a video game trying to save their flatlining marriage. Plus I'm doing the publicity so go see it!




Asking For It
This I can't wait to see - Adrienne Truscott's 'One Woman Rape About Comedy - tackling the big issues through comedy dressed from the waist up and the ankles down. Challenging the point of view that certain women's behaviour is asking for it.



600 seconds
Read: 10 minute plays. It's like a buffet - you can get everything and then come back for more. I love short snippets and it's awesome how much can be communicated in 10 minutes.





Impromptunes - Tune your own adventure
Improvisation + music - what could be better? Ok so I was a massive Wayne Brady fan back in the Who's Line Is It Anyway days and humour through improvised song is just awesome to me. 



Those who fall in love like anchors dropped upon the ocean floor
This received rave reviews during it's season at The Blue Room last year... and I missed it! By all accounts it's amazing and I'm so glad it's back, giving me the opportunity to jump aboard.



Metalhead
I saw this in October last year at Victoria Hall in Fremantle. Tiffany Barton is an exceptional Perth playwright and it was a hard hitting, emotional play. It's back with a new cast and a new director and I can't wait to see the transformation. 

23 days in

So I missed the obligatory 'new year' post and 23 days in, I feel I've begun to settle into 2015.

So far, the start to 2015 has been full on. But then again, full on seems to suit me much of the time. I may have started the year with a sinus infection and flu (who the he'll gets that in summer!!!) that's slowed me down some but none-the-less, so far it's been a great start. 

I've started the year with family and loved ones; merriment the bubble in a glass of champagne.

I've started the year with trips to the beach, rewarded with sun bronzed summer skin. 

I've started the year reading The Trouble With Flying and watching Boardwalk Empire; watering my soul with inspiration and relaxation.

I've started the year working hard; another year, another project to sink my teeth into.

I've started the year running again, or should I say jogging? Either way there's movement over kometres driving me to go further and faster each week.

I've started the year planning and saving for an extended trip at the end of the year that I couldn't be more excited about - expect to hear more on that soon!

I've started the year with words swelling in my heart and a keyword at the ready to capture them. 

How have you started yours?
