Fiona Tonkin's final time on the stage

In May-June 2023, Resident Choreographer Alice Topp created a diamond anniversary gift to commemorate The Australian Ballet. Paragon welcomed twelve of the company’s most iconic former dancers back to the stage to dance alongside current company dancers in an emotional tribute that honours the company’s 60-year history. Topp choreographed a particularly poignant pas de deux for former principal artist Fiona Tonkin (1980-1993), aged 62, and current principal Adam Bull, who was coached by Tonkin and retired after 22 years at the end of the Melbourne run.

Dirty Three — Love Changes Everything (Drag City)

Photo by Daniel Boud

If the title of this new Dirty Three album immediately conjures memories of the 1987 soft-pop single by Climie Fisher, fret ye not — Warren Ellis, Mick Turner and Jim White are sounding as raw and elemental as ever. It may be over a decade since their last album, 2012’s Toward the Low Sun, but each member of the band has been plenty busy in the interim. Ellis has been playing with the Bad Seeds and working on soundtracks with Nick Cave. Mick Turner has started a fantastic new band called Mess Esque. And Jim White has been playing with Marisa Anderson, Beings, Jess Ribeiro and Xylouris White. However, as soon as these three men come together, they bring their collective experience and intuitive interplay to bear.

“I” is a summoning, an explosive reunion, in which the three players jab and jostle loosely, testing the boundaries of their long-standing relationship. Turner’s guitar simmers with distortion and feedback, White threatens to play like a conventional rock drummer, and Ellis saws his way into the picture with his trademark searing, yearning tone. Then, in a sudden left-turn, “II” feels like some grave news has been unexpectedly delivered, its plaintive piano chords like eyebrows raised in concern. “III” carries the album to its midway point with an anxious, keening whine of violin and the insistent tick of hi-hats, while the piano tries to bring some sense of resolve. The guitar and violin tentatively circle each other, proposing and re-proposing a middle ground, only for the piece to gradually disassemble into silence.

“IV” is built around Turner’s eerie waltz-time guitar and Ellis’s ghostly violin scrapes, White offering up gentle washes of cymbal. It rarely raises above a whisper, but amounts to one of the most affecting stretches of music on the album. “V” opens in a similar vein to “III,” with White’s insistent hi-hat, then Ellis picks up the thread with a pizzicato figure and Turner lazily strums a couple of open-ended chords. Ellis kicks in his distortion pedal, White ups the density of his playing, and all three players are soon matching each other’s fire, only for the piece to ebb away in its closing moments.

Thankfully, “VI,” the 10-minute closer, provides a satisfying though slow-burning pay-off. It emerges from a snaking whorl of violin loops, the guitar and piano each staking a claim towards establishing a defining theme. At various points during the second half, the music threatens to take off into a more fiery, chaotic realm, only to recede into questioning placidity. Much like the rest of the music on this album, it goes nowhere and everywhere all at once, creating and re-creating a space that feels intimidatingly boundless.

& Juliet gives Shakespeare a pop makeover in Sydney

& Juliet gives Shakespeare a pop makeover in Sydney

Tony-nominated jukebox musical & Juliet is finally bringing its blend of Shakespeare, pop music and queer joy to Sydney’s Lyric Theatre next week.

The smash hit stage show, written by Emmy-winning Schitt’s Creek writer/producer David West Read, takes Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet but flips the script on the love story with a huge twist.

Instead of the original tragic, downer ending, what if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?

Tears, tantrums and hilarity ensue as a 20-something Juliet gets a second chance to explore the world – and her sexuality – on her terms.

The show features a songbook by Max Martin, the Swedish pop godfather behind hits by main pop girls including Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Pink.

& Juliet cleverly weaves the lyrics of Max’s beloved pop songs into Juliet’s journey.

The musical premiered in Australia last year and is opening in Sydney for the first time on February 27.

For the Sydney production, rising star Lorinda May Merrypor is Juliet alongside established performers like Rob Mills, Amy Lehpamer and a scene-stealing Casey Donovan.

“I can’t wait to be back in my hometown and share the story, music, hope and joy that is & Juliet the musical,” Casey said.

“Sydney audiences are going to absolutely fall in love with this show.”

& Juliet performances start at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre on Tuesday, February 27. Tickets at ticketmaster.com.au

Fables et fabulistes - Daniel Allemand (contemporain)

Que de toute âme du paysNe connaissant Château-ThierryOn en boude la fableJ’y consens ; mais que sur le site Rue des FablesOn ne prenne goût à l’HistoireJ’ai très peine à y croire.Un fabuliste assoiffé et aphoneDans une pirouetteAvait perdu la fauneDe l’agneau et du loup ; du coq la girouette.Car c’est de La FontaineDe son eau de jouvenceQue l’on boit à grands traits et sans aucune peineSes rimes…

Or this

someone needs to sit me down and make me draw either the reader or Jane from the Society of Protection as these, it’s just so aesthetic. Plus the story has such musical inspiration from a lot of different shows including Phantom of the Opera and the Great Comet of 1812 that it would be so ahhhhhh!
