  • (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and Its Role in the Cultural Life of Perth
    The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. Patricia Kotai-Ewers Bachelor of Arts, Master of Philosophy (UWA) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University November 2013 ABSTRACT The Fellowship of Australian Writers (WA) from 1938 to 1980 and its role in the cultural life of Perth. By the mid-1930s, a group of distinctly Western Australian writers was emerging, dedicated to their own writing careers and the promotion of Australian literature. In 1938, they founded the Western Australian Section of the Fellowship of Australian Writers. This first detailed study of the activities of the Fellowship in Western Australia explores its contribution to the development of Australian literature in this State between 1938 and 1980. In particular, this analysis identifies the degree to which the Fellowship supported and encouraged individual writers, promoted and celebrated Australian writers and their works, through publications, readings, talks and other activities, and assesses the success of its advocacy for writers’ professional interests. Information came from the organisation’s archives for this period; the personal papers, biographies, autobiographies and writings of writers involved; general histories of Australian literature and cultural life; and interviews with current members of the Fellowship in Western Australia. These sources showed the early writers utilising the networks they developed within a small, isolated society to build a creative community, which welcomed artists and musicians as well as writers. The Fellowship lobbied for a wide raft of conditions that concerned writers, including free children’s libraries, better rates of payment and the establishment of the Australian Society of Authors.

In the two new song cycles of this concert another influence is at work as well: the voice of the singer himself. Jerzy Kozlowski’s singing has become a well-known part of Astra programs over a long time and a wide terrain, from mediaeval music and Monteverdi to Reger (Eichendorrf), Busoni (Faust), Elisabeth Lutyens (Auden) and Helen Gifford (Shakespeare). Specifically, his two previous Astra solo recitals performing the late song-cycles of Shostakovich (Michelangelo and Dostoyevsky) made a remarkable impression for the possibilities of the medium of bass voice and piano, and stimulated both Michael Bertram and Lawrence Whiffin to compose new sets of songs particularly for him.

  • The Australian Symphony of the 1950S: a Preliminary Survey
    The Australian Symphony of the 1950s: A Preliminary survey Introduction The period of the 1950s was arguably Australia’s ‘Symphonic decade’. In 1951 alone, 36 Australian symphonies were entries in the Commonwealth Jubilee Symphony Competition. This music is largely unknown today. Except for six of the Alfred Hill symphonies, arguably the least representative of Australian composition during the 1950s and a short Sinfonietta- like piece by Peggy Glanville-Hicks, the Sinfonia da Pacifica, no Australian symphony of the period is in any current recording catalogue, or published in score. No major study or thesis to date has explored the Australian symphony output of the 1950s. Is the neglect of this large repertory justified? Writing in 1972, James Murdoch made the following assessment of some of the major Australian composers of the 1950s. Generally speaking, the works of the older composers have been underestimated. Hughes, Hanson, Le Gallienne and Sutherland, were composing works at least equal to those of the minor English composers who established sizeable reputations in their own country.i This positive evaluation highlights the present state of neglect towards Australian music of the period. Whereas recent recordings and scores of many second-ranking British and American composers from the period 1930-1960 exist, almost none of the larger works of Australians Robert Hughes, Raymond Hanson, Dorian Le Gallienne and their contemporaries are heard today. This essay has three aims: firstly, to show how extensive symphonic composition was in Australia during the 1950s, secondly to highlight the achievement of the main figures in this movement and thirdly, to advocate the restoration and revival of this repertory.

  • When Director Richard Lowenstein Opened the First Page of the Novel
    DOGS IN SPACE SYNOPSIS Set against the backdrop of Melbourne‟s late 70s punk rock scene, Dogs in Space chronicles life in a chaotic, squalid share house. Hippies, addicts, students and radicals fill their days and nights with sex, drugs, parties and television. A series of chaotic vignettes are balanced with the central romance between Sam (Michael Hutchence), the lead singer of the band, Dogs in Space and his lover Anna (Saskia Post) as the house spirals out of control. Hutchence is a brilliant symbol of reckless youth in this, his first dramatic screen role, giving Dogs in Space instant cult status upon its original release in 1986. Shortly following its release, Dogs in Space achieved cult status, and received Official Selection for the Berlin, Edinburgh, London, and New York Film Festivals. It has since been described by Geoff Andrew of Time Out as an "uplifting and deliciously different movie,” and was also singled out for praise by Harlan Kennedy of Film Comment magazine as one of a number of films from the late 1980s which brought “shifting perspectives, structural experiment, and highly discomforting stories and characters” into the fold of Australian cinema. Unscreened for over twenty years, this classic film has been painstakingly restored from the original negative and remixed in 5.1 digital sound. PRODUCTION COMPANIES GHOST PICTURES PTY. LTD.

  • Illuminating the Dark Side: an Interview with Brenton Broadstock
    Illuminating the Dark Side: An Interview with Brenton Broadstock Linda Kouvaras Over the last fifteen years, I have been an avid follower of the music of Brenton Broadstock, Associate Professor and Reader, and Co-ordinator in Composition at the Faculty of Music, University of Melbourne. I have commissioned and recorded a work for piano, In the Silence of Night (1989), performed his piano music on a number of occasions, and written several articles about his music and liner notes for two of his CDs. An interview at this point seemed a good idea, Broadstock having recently returned from an extended composing sojourn overseas. In 1998, he spent three months composing in Italy on fellowships given by the Civitella Ranieri and Rockefeller Foundations. In 1999, he received the prestigious Don Banks Award from the Australia Council, which enabled him to compose for the year, including visits to the USA (Indiana University), England and Russia. I wanted to know whether andlor how this time overseas had had an impact on his artistic direction. I was also interested to see whether his perceptions of the existence of 'Australian-ness,' in music and in general, had changed since we last spoke of these matters some years ago. This interview was recorded on 24 August 2000 at the University of Melbourne's University House over a glass of their finest, then transcribed and edited. I asked Brenton what he set out to achieve compositionally on his overseas residencies. I had a major orchestral commission to fulfill from Andrew Wheeler and the Krasnoyarsk Symphony Orchestra in Russia.

Stephen Whittington hosted this experience as part of his talk on the Cage Exhibition in situ at the Barr Smith Library. 41 individuals attended this event held in partnership with PASIG (the Performing Arts Special Interest Group of Museums Australia), with 22 being IAML members. The partnership once again provided an enriched programme, and crossing into the wider performing arts areas proved particularly useful to IAML members responsible for cross disciplinary collections. It did pose some administrative challenges which will be considered when taking on future partnership events. Rob Brookman, CEO of the State Theatre Company of South Australia gave the keynote address as a love letter to archivists entitled “Catching Lightning in a Bucket”, encapsulating the role of archivists as “the keepers of memory”. Julja Szuster, Visiting Research Fellow at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, discussed the ‘Virtual Problems in 21st-Century Music Research’ focussing on the use of open access journals. Two online resources demonstrated the continuing vision to provide access to information here in Australia.
