  • News Release > City Centre in Spotlight for Anywhere Festival
    February 10, 2015 News release > City Centre in spotlight for Anywhere Festival A THEATRICAL performance at Hair Asylum and a comedy walking tour by a man in a penguin suit are just some of the weird and wonderful events taking place in the Mackay City Centre, as part of the Anywhere Festival (March 13-22). Proudly hosted by the Mackay and Isaac Regional Councils, Mayor Deirdre Comerford and Isaac Regional Council Acting Mayor Dale Appleton were on hand to officially launch the festival today at Oaks Rivermarquee. Mayor Deirdre Comerford said she was proud that Mackay and Isaac were the first regional areas in Australia to host The Anywhere Festival. “Our arts and business communities have joined forces with the organisers to stage a festival program that is unique, affordable and a lot of fun,” Cr Comerford said. “It’s a great opportunity for our City Centre businesses to showcase their versatility and for locals and visitors alike to enjoy some exciting performances.” Mackay’s City Centre and Isaac townships including Middlemount, Moranbah, Nebo and Dysart will host a variety of exciting musical and comical performances as part of the ten day festival. Festival, Events and the Arts portfolio councillor Chris Bonanno said it was great to see fourteen different local businesses in and around the City Centre host performances. “Venues include the Mackay Grand Suites and The Dispensary – the festival will be a great opportunity for audiences to enjoy entertainment in different settings throughout our City Centre.” Anywhere Festival Artistic Director Paul OSurch said, “It’s time to explore your nooks and crannies.” “The Anywhere Festival is about fun shows in interesting spaces at affordable prices so that anyone can go to a few shows and explore spaces in a different way, that’s really the key and why I love this festival,” Paul said.

  • Professional Boundaries
    PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES: (Sharp Objects and other Injections of Memoir and Comedy) Written by Lisa K Smith B Arts (Drama) RN- Registered Nurse, RM-Registered Midwife An Exegesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts (Research) Drama and Performance Studies- Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology. 2016 Supervisors: Principal: Mr. Sean Mee. Creative Industries Faculty-QUT Associate: Dr. Vivienne Muller. Creative industries Faculty-QUT Professional Boundaries: (Sharp Objects and other Injections of Memoir and Comedy) 2 ABSTRACT The creative work for this MA thesis, The Performing Nurse and the research that informs it, seek to join the two key vocations of the researcher – the artist and the nurse – to create the Nurse Artist and claim a voice for nurses. The theatrical performance and the exegetical material represent my original attempts to address the main research question: How can the Nurse Artist emerge to express the self, to gain a voice in a system that often demands compliance and silence? Practice-led research, utilising an auto-ethnographic and an auto- performative approach to critique historical and contemporary nurse archetypes through performance, informs the overall project. The Performing Nurse a production, based around the comic monologues of five characters and developed through five creative iterations, is the primary site for addressing the research question and its component parts. The practice-led approach also involved the use of focus groups and surveys, providing comprehensive feedback from the nursing profession across the creative development phases. The project draws on the pioneering work of Peggy Shaw and Jo Brand whose art is located within the burgeoning field of what is known as Performing Medicine.

  • Sweet Rebecca Abc/Universal
    BECCY COLE SWEET REBECCA ABC/UNIVERSAL Country songstress Beccy Cole has delighted Australian listeners and concert goers for more than twenty years. The Adelaide-born star’s glowing warmth, honeyed voice, bawdy sense of humour and perpetual smile have helped make Beccy one of the nation’s best-loved and most celebrated artists. With her stunning tenth release Sweet Rebecca, Beccy colours these winning qualities with bittersweet remembrance and reflection on her life thus far – both onstage and off. With nine Golden Guitars to her name (including four for Female Vocalist of the Year), as well as multiple ARIA Top 10 Country and Top 40 Mainstream albums, a Top 10 DVD, three gold- certified releases, and more than a dozen No. 1 Australian country singles, Beccy Cole is one of Australia’s most successful singer-songwriters. Since 1997, Beccy has piloted a succession of stellar releases, including most recent ARIA- nominated studio effort Songs & Pictures (2011), featuring the Golden Guitar-winning hits ‘Waitress’ and ‘Millionaires’ (with Kasey Chambers). Sweet Rebecca follows hot on the heels of Beccy’s phenomenal collaboration with Melinda Schneider, Great Women of Country (2014). As the title promises, Sweet Rebecca is the most personal album of Beccy’s career. The release coincides with the publication of Beccy’s strikingly candid memoir, Poster Girl. It was the frequently gruelling task of penning this tell-all account of her life and career to date that inspired the intensely, grippingly honest songs of Sweet Rebecca. “For me, every time I write songs it’s a very cathartic experience, because I write about my life,” Beccy says.
