  • Sydney Festival 2012 Overview This Is Our City in Summer January 7-29
    MEDIA RELEASE JANUARY, 2012 SYDNEY FESTIVAL 2012 OVERVIEW THIS IS OUR CITY IN SUMMER JANUARY 7-29 Sydney Festival has opened the 2012 program for its annual three-week celebration, January 7-29. Sydney Festival is an explosion of theatre, dance, music, exhibitions and talks that takes over the city, celebrating uniquely Australian work as well as welcoming companies from all over the world. The Festival prides itself on its free large-scale outdoor events, including concerts and performances and even a ferry race on Sydney’s iconic harbour. NSW Premier and Minister for Western Sydney Barry O’Farrell said, “Sydney Festival creates a welcoming and unique global atmosphere that showcases our beautiful city through a feast of performances in theatre, music, dance and visual arts. “Whether it’s in Campbelltown or Chippendale, Parramatta or Walsh Bay, I urge Sydneysiders and visitors alike to take advantage of all Sydney Festival has to offer’” Mr O’Farrell said. Lord Mayor Clover Moore MP, Chair of Sydney Festival said, “Sydney Festival is one of our most loved events and sets the tone for summer in the city. The Festival makes it easy for Sydneysiders to experience the best performing, visual and experimental arts that Australia and the world have to offer. “Festivals and other events contribute to our local economy – they encourage people to stay in our hotels, eat at our restaurants, visit our top attractions, shop and enjoy all our City has to offer.” Ms Moore said. Festival Director Lindy Hume said, “Our festival exists, in part, to hold a mirror up to our city each year.

  • It's Just a Joke: Defining and Defending (Musical) Parody
    It’s just a joke: Defining and defending (musical) parody Paul Jewell, Flinders University Jennie Louise, The University of Adelaide ABSTRACT Australia has recently amended copyright laws in order to exempt and protect parodies, so that, as the Hon. Chris Ellison, the then Minster for Justice told the Senate, ‘Australia’s fine tradition of poking fun at itself and others will not be unnecessarily restricted’. It is predicted that there will be legal debates about the definition of parody. But if the law, as the Minister contends, reflects Australian values, then there is a precursor question. Is there anything wrong with parody, such that it should be restricted? In our efforts to define parody, we discover and develop a moral defence of parody. Parody is the imitation of an artistic work, sometimes for the sake of ridicule, or perhaps as a vehicle to make a criticism or comment. It is the appropriation of another’s original work, and therefore, prima facie, exploits the originator. Parody is the unauthorised use of intellectual property, with both similarity to and difference from other misappropriations such as piracy, plagiarism and forgery. Nevertheless, we argue that unlike piracy, plagiarism and forgery, which are inherently immoral, parody is not. On the contrary, parody makes a positive contribution to culture and even to the original artists whose work is parodied. Paul Jewell <[email protected]> is a member of the Ethics Centre of South Australia. He teaches ethics in Disability and Community Inclusion at Flinders University and he is a musician. Jennie Louise is also a member of the Ethics Centre of South Australia.

  • Sydney Festival 2021 + Australian Design Centre
    No images? Click here Australian Made: Sydney Festival 2021 + Australian Design Centre Sydney Festival 2021 has launched its Australian Made program. In his fifth and final year as Festival Director, Wesley Enoch’s program focuses on recovering, reconnecting and reinvigorating Australia’s artists and communities after this challenging year for the creative sector. This year the festival will celebrate the best that Australia has to offer with our internationally acclaimed artists and creative companies presenting new theatre, dance, live music and much more. The people of Sydney are invited to enjoy and explore over 140 events, performances, exhibitions, talks and experiences, many of them free, during 6 – 26 January. We are delighted to announce that Australian Design Centre is part of this exciting program. We are presenting two exhibitions, multiple workshops, maker talks and a special Sydney Festival edition of our renowned Makers Market. On show from 26 November 2020 is the exhibition Isolate | Make: Creative Resilience in a Pandemic. In response to Covid-19, we invited nine makers to participate in this project. Working across a diversity of practice, these local makers share their creative process and final works made during Covid-19. During the Festival in January there will be a range of artist talks and workshops. Join paper engineer Benja Harney for a creative papermaking workshop on Wednesday 20 January 2021 and take a relaxed clay workshop with artist and ceramicist Glenn Barkley on Thursday 21 January 2021. Also launching 26 November 2020, Design Isolate explores how creative practice may have changed for makers during this year either as a result of social isolation, the associated restrictions and production challenges, or simply in response to the tragic global events.

  • Fulltimeoperationsince1996
    | 23 is 10! | Welcome to a celebration of our 10th birthday. First a word from Tony MacGregor, Chair of the Open City Board of Management. This company was established by Keith Gallasch and Virginia Baxter in 1987 for the collaborative works they performed in theatres, galleries and on radio. In 1994 Open City began to publish RealTime+OnScreen which has been a fulltime operation since 1996. FROM THE CHAIR I’ve been free-associating around those words—real, time—looking for a RT61 JUNE / JULY 04 way into writing about this thing I’ve been hovering around for these past 10 years. Longer really, because RealTime was an idea long before it was a reality, one of those determinations that Keith Gallasch and Virginia Baxter make and then work into existence: “mainstream theatre criticism is hopeless, we need a journal that deals properly with the per- formance community in all its hybrid, messy complexity.” (Or words to that effect.) And, lo, it was so. How many ideas have taken shape, been given form in the endless conversa- tion around that generous wooden table in the kitchen at Womerah Avenue, Darlinghurst where Gallasch and Baxter have lived since their arrival from Adelaide in 1986? Like so many projects which have been founded on their energy and ideas—Troupe in Adelaide, Open City, all those performances—once deemed A Good Idea, RealTime seemed inevitable, an idea made real through that seemingly irresistible combination of clear argument, creative invention, per- sonal passion, A-grade grant writing The RealTime team: Keith Gallasch, Dan Edwards, Gail Priest, Virginia Baxter Heidrun Löhr skills and the sheer bloody mindedness that they bring to all their projects.

  • Business Ethics Study
    The 2009 Annual Business and Professions Study business ethics study St James Ethics Centre Beaton Consulting 2009 Annual Business and Professions Study: Business Ethics Study Foreword This report has been produced at a pivotal point in history. The global community is faced by a conjunction of challenges so grave as to justify being considered ‘crises’. The list includes some obvious issues – climate change caused by global warming, world-wide recession, a global food crisis affecting the most vulnerable. However, there is something less obvious that we should attend to - there is also a crisis of confidence; in our principal institutions, their legitimacy and their leadership. Until this deeper issue is acknowledged and addressed our latent capacity to resolve the more obvious issues will falter for want of conviction. Barack Obama sought to identify one dimension of this deeper problem when, prior to his inauguration as President, he sought to indentify the principal factors that had brought the US economy to its knees. This crisis did not happen solely by some accident of history or normal turn of the business cycle, and we won’t get out of it by simply waiting for a better day to come, or relying on the worn-out dogmas of the past. We arrived at this point due to an era of profound irresponsibility that stretched from corporate boardrooms to the halls of power in Washington, DC. For years, too many Wall Street executives made imprudent and dangerous decisions, seeking profits with too little regard for risk, too little regulatory scrutiny, and too little accountability.
