  • September 18 Rockwiz Latest Major Production to Play Darwin
    RocKwiz LATEST MAJOR PRODUCTION TO PLAY DARWIN CONVENTION CENTRE 7 September 2012 In just seven years, the Australian television quiz show RocKwiz, built around rock music, has become a regular prime time Saturday series on SBS and has been named by Andrew Denton as “Australia’s most beloved music show”. Last week, the Darwin Convention Centre had the pleasure of being the first venue to present the group’s “Some Kind of Genius” three month tour around Australia. Co-hosted by Julia Zemiro and Brian Nankervis the group’s tour performances are an extension of the television show but bigger, bolder and braver! Freed from the constraints of their TV Studio at “The Espy” (The Esplanade Hotel – St Kilda) audiences were promised – and were delivered! – more guests, more songs and more questions and were warned that the cast would cut loose and revel in the space and freedom of the Centre’s Exhibition Hall 1. Which was exactly what happened, providing an unforgettable experience for close to 2300 patrons over the two shows – the second added by the promoters due to demand. Darwin loved it – as evident from just some of the comments from the audience on the very active RocKwiz Facebook page: “Darwin show was GREAT thanks you mob hope you come back soon”…”Must say that tonight at the Darwin Convention Centre was sensational”…”Absolutely loved it and would seriously recommend that everyone gets there tomorrow night and for the rest of the tour around Australia.” The RocKwiz group stars who are “the show”–Julia, Brian and the RocKwiz Orkestra – were joined by a group of guest performers, well known in their own right, who rubbed shoulders with delighted audience members: Dave Faulkner – Lead singer of the HooDoo gurus Kavyen Temperley – Lead singer of Eskimo Joe Jess Cornelius – Lead singer of Teeth & Tongue Shelly Morris Vika and Linda Bull Darwin Convention Centre General Manager Malu Barrios said she was delighted but not surprised to see the facilities and convenience provided by the Centre playing an increasing role as a major entertainment facility for the City.

  • Sbs Independent: Productive Diversity and Counter-Memory
    SBS INDEPENDENT: PRODUCTIVE DIVERSITY AND COUNTER-MEMORY Amanda Malel Trevisanut, BA (Hons) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Printed on archival quality paper ii iii ABSTRACT This thesis examines SBSi as cultural institution from its establishment in 1994 through to its merger with SBS-TV in 2007. As a cultural institution SBSi functioned governmentally to effect neo-liberal reform, significantly reshaping labour processes within the independent film and public service sectors. This thesis argues that SBSi carefully manoeuvred within this neo-liberal regime allowing non-assimilative cultural practices to manifest. Using a creative labour approach this thesis demonstrates how SBSi cultivated the resource of productive diversity to shape new creative labour practices, allowing new filmmaking milieux to form, and new counter-memorial filmmaking strategies to flourish. It analyses SBSi in relation to cultural policy developments, linking its activities as a commissioning house for SBS, to productive diversity; a State policy for harnessing the cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD) of Australian citizens as a national economic resource. Drawing on original interviews and archival sources it elaborates creative management processes developed by SBSi to foster productive diversity, and demonstrates how these shaped labour processes to inaugurate mentorship and early career opportunities for Indigenous, regional and CALD filmmakers. It also demonstrates how SBSi rejuvenated an ailing independent production sector by developing new niche audiences for innovative local content. Finally, this thesis adopts a critical race and whiteness approach to analyse the SBSi catalogue, and demonstrate how SBSi manoeuvred within a governmental logic to give rise to a new counter-memorial genre.
