    Brett Sheehy CONFESSIONS of a GATEKEEPER

    Address To The Inaugural Currency House/ Australia Business Arts Foundation 2009 Arts And Public Life Breakfast 31 March At The Sofi tel, Melbourne On Collins Brett Sheehy CONFESSIONS OF A GATEKEEPER Hello and welcome everyone. I quickly want to thank Harold for introducing me today. Harold barely knew me when, in November 2001, he fl ew from Melbourne to Sydney to attend my fi rst ever festival launch in Customs House down at Sydney’s Circular Quay. His reason was simple - he loves the arts, I was a fairly new kid on the festival block, and he wanted to show his support. And that support has continues to this day, unabated. I appreciate it tremendously, and it’s a privilege to fi nally share a stage with him, in what is now, mutually, our hometown. So thank you Harold. These confessions of an arts gatekeeper which I’m going to share this morning are personal, frequently intuitive, born of 25 years of observation and experience in the arts, but also not absolutes – all are debatable, but not one, I think, is disprovable. An arts gatekeeper is really a kind of artistic ‘door bitch’, someone charged with the responsibility of deciding when the ‘velvet rope’ is lifted, and which art will, and will not, be seen by the public of Australia. And while the metaphor of the ‘velvet rope’ makes light of it here, the role is actually riven with anxiety and stress – so important do I think the responsibility is, and so potentially charged with hubris. Gatekeepers come in many guises – festival directors, artistic directors of theatre and dance companies, museum and gallery curators, music directors of opera houses and orchestras, arts centre programmers, book publishers and record producers.

The Best Kind of Personal EssayBy Xenon Dead Timea fast- moving, very funny kind of personal essay, that describes an elbow-bend in the author's life (one she likens, in an aside of Dorothy Parker-esque self deprecation, to being a fitfully idiosyncratic, more Broadway-infused personal Eat, Pray Love scenario). The unexpected way Shukert unspools her thoughts, and draws connections between her experiences, and simultaneously peppers it all with her huge knowledge of culture, make it a real pleasure to read. It's like being in the presence of an extravagantly gifted conversationalist, or a fiendishly entertaining monologuist, or some other kind of theatrically adroit sleek-talker.Quoting it will show much better what I mean; the piece is full of these gems, and also has longer-form humorous/thematic effects that are a pleasure to encounter."It was a whole new world.

    Two Brothers Running Music Credits

    Original Music by Phillip Scott Lyrics: Opening to camera: The film begins with Tom Conti’s Moses Bornstein upside down on screen. The camera begins a slow swivel and zoom in so that it ends up on Moses’ face the right way up, still talking direct to camera. As the camera does its move, Moses speaks to the viewer. Moses: “Okay, the brother … er, our parents died. We’re orphans. We move into a flat, and I look after him for a year, a year and a half… except I’m going crazy. So I leave him with an uncle for three months, except I can’t look the young boy in the face, because I know it’s … it’s really forever. I go to Europe, I write, I publish, I marry … a son… er, maybe three years, a letter arrives. The brother is coming… er, he’s coming by boat, which is what you did in those days. Terrific. He arrives at the docks, Southampton. We station ourselves at the foot of the gangplank, er, we’re early, we’re the first, no one’s come off .. and they start … a lot of people, a lot of people …er, two, maybe three hundred …and every person that comes off … I can’t see him. I can’t see him … did he come off? He must have! People are milling, you know, I, I, I’m in a real panic. Suddenly Barbara darts into the crowd. She’s, she’s got him … she’s holding his hand! But how, how did you recognise him? She stares at me … Moses … he’s just like you … (almost a whisper) … just like you …” The camera cuts to a Citroën pulling into the driveway of a suburban Melbourne house, and the story begins … It will turn out that Moses is, like his brother, unfaithful, and will lose his wife by end of movie, but his brother will provide him with the ending to the screenplay he keeps telling everybody about throughout the movie, a shaggy dog story with a Jewish hero, who wants to be a thief like his father.

    Robyn Archer 4-15 July

    GRIFFIN THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS ROBYN ARCHER 4-15 JULY European Cabaret really began in Paris in the 1880s and While the word cabaret has been then rapidly spread to Vienna at the fin de siècle, thence to stretched over the last few decades to Zurich, St Petersburg, Barcelona, Munich and Berlin, cover comedy, review, variety and where it coincided with the rise of national socialism and burlesque, there have been recent sniffs provided a necessary platform for voicing concern and of a return to something more akin to the criticism. Que Reste-t’Il starts with songs from the 1880s form’s noble origins, with Tim Minchin’s in Paris, and Dancing on the Volcano covers that brief rapid response to George Pell as a good period when Berlin cabaret was at first light-headed with example. Perhaps as the times again relief after World War I, and then traced the dramatic become more fraught, more complex, descent into despair and horror. The power of serious more difficult to understand and to poets and composers to record such histories is negotiate, ‘ the art of small forms’ (as undeniable, and reinforces the words of Brecht’s poem: Peter Alternberg described cabaret) will come into its own again. My young son asks Will there be singing in the bad times? Robyn Archer AO Yes, there will be singing About the bad times When the cabaret form crossed into English language- speaking countries, it tended to morph into something A NOTE FROM more polite, such as revue, and its bite was less at politics and corruption, and more to social mores and foibles.
