Most people around Adelaide have seen or heard of Adam Page. He’s the guy who plays the bass ukulele, who made an entire song out of an audience member’s name, who has an amazing beard, who improvises on loop pedals with an African Thumb Piano, who hangs out at the Wheaty, who made music with a carrot wearing a sumo suit, who sings his own bass lines then beat boxes over the top, who was seen busking in Rundle Mall with three other sax players, who…

Adam Page is a multi-instrumentalist based in Adelaide, who performs as a solo artist, as well as with many local groups. He is best known for his Adam Page Solo show, which, since its inception in 2006, has been winner of the 2007 Adelaide Fringe ‘Best Emerging Artist’, the 2009 New Zealand Fringe ‘Best Music’ and ‘Best Solo Show’ and has performed a 24 night season at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe. Adam Page Solo uses a unique style of performing that records various live instruments into loop pedals and then builds grooves, harmonies and eventually entire songs through layering these loops over one another. The guy is also very funny (sumo suits and carrots, what can you say?) adding another element to this unique and original style of performance.

Every Solo show is inevitably different, however Adam Page tells me that for him personally, the show is evolving. He wants to move away from visual silliness and entirely spontaneous performance, to performing more composed music with involved and intricate arrangements. Improvisation will still be a large part of his show, but this will be combined with prepared ideas. So, if you have never seen Adam Page Solo, or you’ve seen it many times before, it is well worth checking out.

Georgie Aue

A Day In The Life – Georgie Aue Quartet at The Prom – Saturdays 19, 26 Feb and 5 Mar. For Georgie Aue, 2011 seems likely to see her developing career really start to blossom. This Fringe, with her Georgie Aue Quartet, she has three Saturday evening shows at The Prom, playing the music of the Beatles in performances entitled A Day In The Life. This follows on from her sell out Nora Jones Tribute shows in last year’s Fringe. Georgie says the switch to the Beatles from Jones is not as significant as it may first appear. “There are no major challenges for my voice”, she says “as these Lennon / McCartney songs were written with high notes for boys and I have a relatively low voice for a woman.” “However, rather than try to replicate their sounds as we did with Nora, with A Day In The Life, we aim to unpack the music and then repack these songs in our own style.” This Fringe period will also be the first chance Georgie has had to pre-release her first album, Washington Road. Recorded in December with Peter Doudle and with her father, John, co-producing, Washington Road is a combination of original material and some covers including the Beatles classic, Here Comes The Sun. Now three years on from graduating from the Elder Conservatorium in Jazz Performance, Georgie is looking to spread her wings further afield this year including taking up a mentorship with US jazz legend, John Harkins, now Sydney based. With the Fringe, her new album, another Cabaret Fringe festival show and time with Harkins, Georgie Aue is certainly a name to watch out for in 2011 and years ahead and particularly at The Prom on Saturday evenings across the Fringe.

Moataz and Amos

Their mothers’ efforts to deal with their children’s boredom sit at the core of how these two budding comedians got into the stand up caper. It was sug- gested to Moataz Hamde by his mother that doing a 10 week comedy school course may work (and it did) after ideas such as horseback riding and archery hadn’t.

For Amos Gill, a dose of school debating drew him into making the most of his innate desires for ap- proval when being the class clown – eating pan- cakes off the floor for $50 and a berliner and the like – no longer drew the laughs it once had.

But having met on the stand up circuit, they had realised that together they were not peas from the same pod of other local comics where sports and girls fascinated them most and not poetry.

So, in their show, Background Check, Moataz will delight in stories about our inherent racism – he can talk about this stuff because he’s African – and Amos revels in bogans where he claims his home has always been a rich source of matrial. This plus some video skits allows their egos the room to work together without ever having to much share the same floor boards together, someone having to be the straight guy to the other.

Vale Ale - McLaren Vale Beer Company

When you think of the premium drop coming out of the McLaren Vale, you think of a rich, fruity and complex drink. You’re thinking of beer, right? You might not be, but one sip of a Vale Ale and the McLaren Vale Beer Company says you will. The McLaren Vale Beer Company began operations in 2008 with a vision to challenge the relatively bland beer market. The video that plays out on their website – a brilliant twist on public beer opinion – highlights the lack of exposure and understanding towards microbrewers. In a testament to their belief, the last three years has seen the Vale Ale, their signature beer, grow from two taps to a plethora of venues across Australia, as well as being internationally enjoyed in bottle form. Internationally-awarded Vale Ale is the first jewel in the Company’s crown. A pale unlike any you’ve tried from the big boys, it is bottle conditioned. Its amazing aroma, taste and beautiful cloudiness come from a great hop character that is unharmed via an unfiltered and unpasteurised process. Recently releasing their second beer, the McLaren Vale Beer Company has made the Vale Dry Australia’s first unfiltered dry lager. Not only do you get an outstanding lager – crisp, dry and mildy hoppy – you also get that natural cloudiness that you’ve been missing out on. The best part of all – they have their own inn. The character-filled Salopian Inn, established in 1851, not only serves the beers you now crave, but houses good drops of the other stuff known to come from the area, as well as great food. If you see it in a bottle shop then grab it, and if you see it on tap then order it, but most importantly you just have to drink it. Kryztoff has Vale Ale to give away all this month of February, so follow us closely on Facebook.

2011 BIGPOND ADELAIDE FILM FESTIVAL

24 February – 6 March The BigPond Adelaide Film Festival is shaping up to not only be one of the highlights of Adelaide’s festival season, but one of the most groundbreaking and creative film festivals in the country. Screening more than 140 films from 40 countries, BAFF in 2011 will be an eleven-day celebration of the diversity and complexity of the moving image in all its differing forms – on screen, online, on television, in galleries, and on the street. The program includes premieres of 14 new Australian films including a host of works by indigenous filmmakers, and showcases works across the film spectrum from real-life documentaries to the furthest reaches of the imagination realised by SFX filmmakers and visionary artists. The diversity of the moving image is perfectly mimicked by the diversity of the strands running beneath the BAFF. The Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund, which in the past has funded the Cannes Camera D’Or winner Samson and Delilah, will present a selection of bold and diverse Australian film. Some are based on extraordinary Australian events, such as Beck Cole’s Here I Am, a drama centred on a young Aboriginal woman trying to make a life after being released from prison, Justin Kurzel’s Snowtown, based on the infamous Snowtown murders, and Tall Man, based on the bestseller by Chloe Hooper about the death in custody of Cameron Doomadgee at Palm Island. Others push the boundaries of ‘based on a true story’, such as Amiel Courtin-Wilson’s Hail, which explores the interface between documentary and drama, and the artist’s vision of the world. As part of the Art and the Moving Image Strand, the BAFF will be collaborating with the Art Gallery of South Australia for one of the highlights of the festival, Tracey Moffatt: Narratives.

Nobel Literature Laureate, Sean Riley creates a drama that is both colloquial and intimate, and interplay of music and storytelling that touches on displacement, assimilation, invisibility and difference.

Instead, it is a example of Ionesco’s “pure” drama, a theatrical construction that represents an exemplary action of a universal nature. And so, the hour-long exchange between the teacher and his pupil (the story and characters) gets reduced into meaningless and disturbing verbiage.

When Alceste, the misanthrope quick to criticise the flaws of everyone around him, falls for the ambitious American film star, Jennifer, his plans to reject the society and tell it like it is are jeopardised.

The Spaces Between By Jane Austen Argument

Arcade Lane 2 – 12 Mar One of the greatest things you can do during the Fringe is to take a punt on an unknown act. Some of the best shows are the ones presented by independent artists, without a lot of glossy posters or flyers, in venues you never knew existed and for prices that barely change the weight of your wallet. You never know what you’re going to find. Last year, one such show was ‘Where Was I’, presented by The Jane Austen Argument, in the stripped bare remains of the old Regent Cinema and at the crowd deterring hour of 11pm. This show was nothing short of phenomenal and was rewarded with the ‘Best Cabaret’ gong in the official Fringe Awards. The Jane Austen Argument is Tom Dickens and Jen Kingwell, a musical duo from Melbourne who plays original pieces - chock full of raw emotion, eloquent lyrics and powerful melodies - as well as occasional interesting interpretations of some well known songs. Currently on tour around Australia with Amanda Palmer – whose latest album they make a guest appearance on - and having recently put together their debut EP, things are speeding up for these guys. This year, they offer ‘The Spaces Between’, exploring both the physical and metaphorical meaning behind the theme. Both are consummate performers, who own the stage, give audiences a memorable experience and deserve packed houses.

Burlesque Upon a Time By Peaches ‘N’ Gin Burlesque

Nexus 21, 25-27 Feb, 4-5 Mar Peaches ‘n’ Gin Burlesque exploded onto the Adelaide scene over two years ago and they haven’t looked back. Over that time, the two lovely leading ladies of the company, Luna Eclipse and Sapphire Snow, have been joined by a number of special guests, several of whom have now become permanent fixtures in their stage-shows. In this particular outing they will be ably supported by the vocal flair of Cara Louise - a lady who’s endowed with a powerful set of lungs and a flair for the sexy side of performance - and the cheeky and flamboyant David Salter. Keeping the performance on track, and providing a good dose of humour to boot, will be Rohan Watts. Their recent shows have sold out; illustrating the keen following this company has developed. Peaches ‘n’ Gin are great at creating shows which are sassy, entertaining, technically impressive, and a bit risqué. They match their various numbers to themes and create an alluring overall experience. That theme for this year’s Fringe is fairytales. Luna and Sapphire are both ladies of many talents, with experience in multiple forms of dance as well as all the different facets of burlesque. While other companies may choose to focus on one side of this art form, Peaches ‘n’ Gin run the whole gamut; from pretty innocence through to hard core deviance. Audience participation abounds but is always in the best of fun, so don’t be afraid to experience all this show has to offer.

The isolation of an object from its normal location, or the presentation of it from a different perspective, pushes the ordinary into the abstract. This is exactly the effect of Roger Robert’s Nest Series, an exhibition of birds’ nests painted onto canvas. Exhibited at St Peter’s Cathedral in 2009, Nest Series is returning for the Adelaide Fringe, with new works and a new location, the Santos Conservation Centre at the Zoo. The location offers a new way of looking at the series, bringing to mind links between the fragility of the nest, the fragility of nature, and the ultimate fragility of human endeavour. This perspective is enhanced by Robert’s abstract compositional choices, placing the nest as viewed from directly above, in the centre of a square canvas. Be on the lookout for new perspectives in Roger Robert’s Nest Series.

Cantina

Garden of Unearthly delights – Spiegeltent 15 Feb – 13 Mar ex 18, 21, 28 Feb & 7 Mar

If you’re looking for circus cabaret, look no further. Cantina takes you to the seediest of drinking holes, torn between the past, present and future, it explores the rapture and torture of desire, and the tension between harsh reality and escapist fantasy. The inhabitants of Cantina find refuge in this late night world of seduction, sweat and tequila. Their extraordinary feats contrast with the heartbreak of their lives. The circus cabaret is brought to life by a live soundscape which encompasses such bizarre instruments as a gramophone, a pianola and an air organ. The one hour of storyline and circus displays acrobatic, dance and acting talent brought together by some of Australia’s most respected creators of new circus. Cantina comes direct from their very successful premier in the Brisbane Festival and is from the company that brought you Tom Tom Crew and Helpmann Award nominated A Company of Strangers. Cantina brings a mix of desire, music and aerobatics and dance to the famous Spiegeltent and features a brilliant cast of Australia’s most experienced and respected circus creators. ‘Not a single minute of Cantina is without dropping moments.. Mind blowing! Go and see Cantina” – Rave Magazine

Bubblewrap and Boxes By Asking for Trouble

Roll up, roll up to the circus in 2011.

Something for the whole family, Bubblewrap and Boxes is a 55 minute, hilarious extravaganza which includes clowns, puppetry and acrobatics. A simple cardboard box arrangement sets the scene of a lost mail room, a dusty world occupied by a lone individual who is interrupted by a new arrival. The daily routine is further disturbed when a strange box arrives, calling the mail room duo into action. This is a show that promises to be an awful lot of fun for the kids (recommended for ages 3+) and is also entertaining for the rest of the family.
