creatio cieli et terra
Adam & Eve get a dressing down in front of the Tree of Knowledge – from today’s rehearsal of The Cardinals at AE Harris. Though the day felt full of purpose and good humour, Graeme Braidwood’s furtive camera-work reveals me as nothing short of man possessed. (see other pics here)

Return of The Cardinals
By lunchtime on Day#1 we knew that the warm, comfortable facilities of the Rep rehearsal space just wouldn’t cut it. It wasn’t that the luxuriousness of the green room had blunted our purpose but rather a lack of ceiling height finally put paid to the idea. So back to the ‘Australia’ room at AE Harris […]

things that go bump-in
Australians don’t do “get-ins” or “fit-ups” – they do “bump-ins”, and today after a fortnight of snatching moments of film-footage and speculating about how good the black-out might be we finally “bumped-in”. On the advice of the volunteers who dedicate their time to managing the running of the Gaol Museum it has become customary to […]

the prison record
This is B Wing in the ‘New Building’, Old Adelaide Gaol. It has pretty much been my home since I arrived here in Australia two weeks ago.
