Perth Fringe at night was so pretty 🌈

[100percenthouses]

OKAY! SO! WE JUST HAD OPENING NIGHT FOR OUR FRINGE SHOW! AND IT WENT REALLY WELL!

We’ve been working on this show for so long and it’s finally being performed and it’s really exciting! I’m just so psyched to be working with such an amazing group of people who have put so much effort and love into this and made it such a great experience. Special shout outs to @wcisl0, who not only wrote the script but is the other half to our in-play duo, and @kthnxbisexual who is our leading lady as well as doing so much work on set and designing us our promo pics! (^^^^^^^LOOK WHAT SHE DID TO MY FACE. What a gem)

No but seriously for anyone in Perth over the next couple of days because it is an hour forty of good fun, some laughs, a bit of cereal, salsa and the end of the world.

THE BIG DARK

Venue: The Blue Room 🥫/5: 🥫(genuinely awful) Concept: I’m not sure there is one? The good parts: a cabinet filled up with smoke so that was an interesting 15 seconds; air conditioning was at a sensible setting; when it was finally over with The bad bits: literally every other second apart from the 15 seconds with the smokey cabinet; sound recorded on a potato; wasting perfectly good food (girl get with the program it’s 2k18 - haven’t you heard about zero waste???) Worth seeing: Absolutely not Sign-off reaction gif:

Ya'll should check out my second review on Rory Lowe, a Brit who rapped after inhaling helium and it's the best thing I've seen all year.

So I've been uber lucky lately and received the opportunity to write reviews for my city's Fringe Festival! While you probably live no where near my city cause we're so isolate (ehh go Perth!), you never know, these acts might be coming to your home town at some point!

I hope that where ever you live, you get to enjoy the incredible vibe of your home town's own Fringe. It might not be happening today, or tomorrow. You'll probably be enjoying your Fringe while I'm hibernating in winter. But whenever and wherever you enjoy your first/next Fringe, I hope you have a hoot and a half like I am right now!

So, apparently I haven't posted about this. What. Oh children of tumblr, I've been making a thing! With other people! A theatrerie, artsy, music... A fringe thing! Which is quite appropriate, considering my last post was about Edinburgh Fringe. I have been back in Perth for two months and two days and it's been a whole lot of Fringe. Let me tell you a story. Or if you're not in the mood for a story, spoilers, here's the facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/342853489254112/ A long time ago, about 5 metres away, a friend picked me up at around midnight to record an audition song in her little studio that has since been closed. I made a post about it, in fact. sholalee.tumblr.com/post/86199880321/recently-a-friend-of-mine-asked-if-id-play-guitar A shot time before I got on an aircraft to be hurtled across the world, she called me again, saying, 'So, I have a crazy idea. Crazier than that time I picked you up at midnight to make an audition tape. Do you want to make a fringe show with me?' I said yes. She did mysterious paperwork things while I was in Europe. She wrote the blurb while I was in Budapest; I drew the promotional image in a hostel in Prague. Neither of us yet knew what the show was about. I didn't tell facebook that. Feel privileged. That's the first and second image up there. A few days after I got back to reality (oh there goes gravity) I was in an empty high school theatre relearning how to play like a three year old. We would get homework like, make up three stories about things that happened to the boy and girl, and we'll transform them into fantasy. Maja (that friend) and our wonderful director, Warwick, had since dreamed up the thread of the story, in The Moon (a cafe), which can still be found holding its tapestry together. It's about Ash and Harlan, siblings united in fantasy to escape their small town reality. They have a pen pal, East, a prince from across the great sea, that sends them letters of grand adventures in bottles. Ash yearns for that brighter reality, Harlan needs their den of wonders here. The sea witch is trying to warn them. They quest to write the final, perfect letter. I've been really enjoying dipping my glittery toe in theatre. There's this "something" that's created between a live performed and audience that I'm quite familiar with from playing live music, but it happens here too. More than the sum of its parts. It's very exciting. There's a great host of talented humans now devoting their craft, time and grey hairs towards this. Animator David Thierry, Director Warwick Doddrell, actors Daniel Buckle and Maja Liwszyc, the jack ass of all trades me, sound designer Jesse Bach (he taught me the jack ass expression), costume design by Sarah Mikula, Sam Luckman a great photographer and great friend who I describe as "the one who looks like a pirate". I'm going to get back to painting the final versions of image 3 so out animator can make them appear out of the darkness. If you're in Western Australia, come see =D. If not, enjoy anyway. The last image I feel is a good metaphor for my life right now. Artistic and chaotic afloat, but wondering how I got there in the sun.
