Alison Currie explained her project, but I missed the start of the workshop so I might have misunderstood the whole aim. What I gathered was that we had to learn and perform a dance when our mobile phones rang. Her idea was that mobile phones often interrupt us and the ring tone could be used as a song to dance to, and slow us down from being a slave to the mobile and answering too quickly. It was a type of mobile phone flash mob. We were given the song 9-question_it.mp3 via bluetooth - her friend had written it. A few of us played the song on our phones at the same time - or slightly different times, so there were some nice phasing sounds.
The music sped up in the middle of the dance so we had to do the steps quicker towards the end. Alison said she was surprised - happily - that everyone picked up the steps within the short amount of time during the workshop.
I thought it was fun - it was good to do some stretching & exercise in the park in the sun too. but I think my battery would have been flat or the caller had hung up the call by the time I'd finished the dance if I had received a call. :)
here's a quick video of Alison teaching the steps & demonstrating the dance :

A SHIMMY SHAKIN' NIGHT OF LIVE ELECTRO/DANCE-POP WITH SUPER MASSIVE & YEN
Award winning Sydney dance/rock band Super Massive team with fellow electro-funksters Yen for a very special night of electro/dance-pop at the Excelsior Hotel Surry Hills on Saturday 7th March. Newcomers Life Bitter Soul support.
The night showcases three of Sydney's best up and coming electronic/dance rock bands. With all bands on the bill sharing a love of deep rhythm, shimmering synths, poetic pop, not to mention lights and lasers, it's set to be a spectacular, shimmy-shakin' night, if not an outright dancing frenzy, if both Super Massive and Yen's previous shows are anything to go by.
The show is at the Excelsior Hotel, 64 Foveaux St, Surry Hills. The night starts at 8pm. Tickets are $10- at the door.
Sydney's famous Mardi Gras Parade is on the same night a short hop & skip away, so you can watch the parade then mosey down Foveaux Street to the Excelsior and keep on dancing and partying as the bands hit the stage.
Super Massive's show is an artful blend of sophistication and sleaze. Combining creative, evocative synthscapes with slammingly funky live instrumentation and an entertaining frontwoman who's been compared to Siouxsie Sioux, Karen O, Peaches and Kylie, it's a heady mix that will make you feel like you are under a voodoo spell of dance.
The band had a fantastic year in 2008, releasing their self-titled debut EP to rave reviews, topping the Triple J Unearthed Dance Chart, playing huge shows of their own at inner city venues such as Candy's Apartment and The Supper Club as well as Surry Hills Festival and two north coast tours. They also have a Best Alternative Artist MusicOz Award under their belts. The band are already off to a great start for 2009, having toured Tasmania in February and leaving Maitland crowds' tongues wagging and motors running a couple of weeks back after a crowd-lathering show there.
Yen have crammed venues such as The Basement, The Vanguard, and Melt with their lush vibes and soulful take on electro-pop. They are also festival veterans, having played at the Peats Ridge Festival, Carriageworks 'Underbelly' festival, Playground Weekender and Newtown Festival, where they have whipped crowds into a dancing frenzy.
Newcomers Life Bitter Soul have already notched up a dozen gigs in Sydney and Melbourne after debuting at the Hopetoun Hotel on only 5th January this year! The trio make dark, edgy, catchy, electro-pop.
Get set for a big night!

What: A ‘Glam Friday The 13th‘ party night with live show by dance rock band Super Massive
Where: The Junkyard (Grand Junction Hotel)
88 Church St, Maitland.
When: Friday 13th February
Time: 8:30pm
Entry: Free
Info: Ph: (02) 4933 5242 or www.myspace.com/supermassivesounds
Maitland and Newcastle area music fans who prefer their entertainment on the more theatrical side - and particularly those that like to dress up and party - are in for a treat Friday 13th February, as The Grand Junction Hotel, Maitland, takes a ‘Glam Friday The 13th’ theme, with a live show by award-winning, upcoming Sydney dance-rock band Super Massive, whose style draws from disco, electro, glam rock, pop and funk. It starts at 8:30pm and entry is free.
Super Massive is all about lovingly crafted, creative, sexy, sci-funk alterna-pop, delivered with the lustiness of a full rock band.
The shared musical vision of singer/songwriter Malina Hamilton-Smith and drummer/composer Glenn Abbott (best known for his work with Machine Gun Fellatio), Super Massive was awarded ‘Best Alternative Artist” at last year’s MusicOz Awards, and released a debut EP to rave reviews mid last year.
They have been playing shows in Sydney and Newcastle and touring the east coast for the past two and a half years, however this will be their first show for Maitland audiences.
Described by reviewers as “a man-eater”, “a cross between Peaches and Kylie” and compared to Karen O, Blondie, and Siouxsie Sioux, Hamilton-Smith is a cheeky lyricist, extroverted performer and high priestess of a fun show.
Joined onstage by guitarist Marc Malouf and bassist Dan Bruce, the band’s sound is influenced by a diverse range of artists & styles from Basement Jaxx to Led Zeppelin via Chic, Garbage, AIR and Daft Punk, with enough traces of Marilyn Manson, Siouxsie Sioux, Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath in the musical mix to make them the perfect band for a glam Friday The 13th party night.
Says Hamilton-Smith, ‘Well, we thought if everything’s going to be doom and gloom as this year begins, we’ll have fun with doom and gloom! We’re not superstitious. We dress fairly glam already, but the theme has given us lots of new ideas and we’re going to take things even further for this show. To anyone who wants to join in on dressing up; think anything from gothic horror to glam rock. Think shiny, spangly, or satiny. Think glittery fake blood. Think fake axe through the head! Have some fun. It’s about setting yourself free to have a good time.’
And what to expect from the show music wise? ‘The music will be very funky and danceable, with lots of glam rock toms and guitar. We’re doing two sets, and it’ll range from rock to dance, building up to some pretty slamming hard disco/ clubbier vibe stuff at the end. It’ll be lots of fun.’
Super Massive’s self-titled EP is out now through MGM and iTunes and will also be available for purchase at the show on CD for a modest $8-.

After the immense success of "BF08 UNDER THE RADAR", Brisbane Festival 2009 is putting the call out for applications for the 2009 event.

BF09 UNDER THE RADAR is now calling for applications from artists and companies with brave, stimulating, relevant and innovative shows that the world needs to see. We're looking for fresh ideas and the crossing of art forms. We’re after stories that explore the big questions or transform the everyday and mundane. It has to be new - the rest is up to you.

From Friday 18 September to Saturday 3 October BF09 UNDER THE RADAR will take over Brisbane's Metro Arts building for the third time, aiming the spotlight at young and emerging theatre artists who operate under the radar of the mainstream.
Next year we will also move beyond theatre, taking BF09 UNDER THE RADAR and all its quirky splendour to the masses on the streets of Brisbane's CBD. For the first time street theatre will be included in the programme with an estimated 10 shows being staged in shop fronts, vacant retail premises and on the streets over 2 weeks.
BF09 UNDER THE RADAR producer Fiona MacDonald said "We were amazed by the sheer number of applications in 2008 and also the quality of the work. We're hoping for many more pleasant surprises this year. The BF08 UNDER THE RADAR "Best In Show" winner has since been programmed in festivals across the country as well as receiving a substantial scholarship. So if you're into theatre and performing, make sure you send us an application. You've got nothing to lose!"
Successful BF09 UNDER THE RADAR applicants will receive 100% of box office takings for a season of 4-5 shows, venue and technical hire, production and marketing support from the festival to get their show up and out there plus an awesome chance to expand their creative networks, hook up with like minded artists and arts workers and share a platform with some of the world’s best productions
Applications must be received by 6pm (EST) Monday 16 February 2009.
A selection committee of Australia's arts industry practitioners from various art forms will then consider each application. The committee will meet in Brisbane in early 2009 to determine which productions will feature in BF09 UNDER THE RADAR. Successful applications will be notified in April 2009.
Through BF09 UNDER THE RADAR, Brisbane Festival aims to give a leg up to artists and companies on the edge of the mainstream.
BF09 Artistic Director and CEO Lyndon Terracini said "Everyone has to start somewhere. Anyone who works in the arts has been there and knows how hard it is to get a break. BF09 UNDER THE RADAR is our way of fostering the next generation of performers."

:: Vision Four 5 (Live) ::
In 1990, "Vision Four 5" was formed as a live dance music act that challenged the perception of what live music could be, with interactive video technology and immersive live performances.
The line up changed through the first few years to settle from 1993-1997 with members Noel Burgess (Music), Tim Gruchy (Video/Interactives), Ben Suthers (Music) and Al Ferguson (Video/Animation). In this time Vision Four 5 produced 2 albums, Texture (1993) and Humid (1995) and numerous singles on Volition Records/Sony Music. They toured Australia constantly playing raves, clubs Big Day Out and remixed many other artists in this time.
The rave hit "Everything You Need" was one of the highest selling Australian 12" singles and the more radio friendly "Funkify Yourself" crossed over to become both a club and national radio hit.
The Vision Four 5 live performance incorporated a Mandala interactive system to utilize movement in the stage "control zone" to maniplulate any aspect of video processing, animation or the music as well as live camera's and a full state-of-the-art music studio onstage. The result was a truly unique, immersive and synchronous experience.
All of the members of the band have pursued their specialist field since 1997 and live/work in various parts of the globe.
In October, Ben and Noel are bringing back the music of Vision Four 5 for "Back Again" in Sydney and "Reunion" in Brisbane to remind audiences that Vision Four 5 is "Everything You Need"

after the dancing a singer sang songs from different nations in their native language. and people from the audience danced on the stage. most danced their country's traditional dance. I wondered what Australia's national dance was. when he sang an Australian song it was Waltzing Matilda. this must be how we're seen overseas. the audience were mostly an older crowd - there were a lot of tour buses outside so I'm guessing most people were in tour groups. they all looked like they were having such a great time. I hope I can look that happy and enjoy dancing at their age! it was great to see them enjoying their dances & dancing. now.. I just need to discover what the Australian dance is..

ZeitgiestZeitgiest
Zeitgeist is a retrospective of Zen Zen Zo's Butoh inspired dance-theatre works since 2000. Drawing from the critically acclaimed productions Unleashed, Those with Lucifer, and most recently Zen Zen Zo's international collaborations with American band The Dresden Dolls, Zeitgeist is a collection of raw and provocative pieces that reflect "the spirit (Geist) of our times (Zeit)". This groundbreaking work asks the question, how are we as human beings interacting with ourselves, each other, and the earth at the turn of the new Millennium? The answer is at times heart-breaking, at others humorous, but ultimately hopeful, as the dancers weave together physical theatre, poetic ritual, burlesque, camp, and comedy in Zen Zen Zo’s hallmark style.
WHERE:
Old Museum Building, Crn of Gregory Tce and Bowen Bridge Rd, Bowen Hills
SEASON:
25 June - 12 July 2008
What past critics had to say about Unleashed, Those with Lucifer and The Dresden Dolls shows:
"There seems to be a distinct visceral contact between performers and audience, which is like no ther form of theatre I have expirienced. This work was a maelstrom of flesh and spirit, with a keen tension sustained between the poignant and playful, all moving inexorably towards the heart-breaking climax. I couldn't sleep that night..."
"This highly erotic and nightmarish fantasy is exactly what you'd imagine David Lynch and Trent Reznor to come up with over coffee an cake."
"Here we see the perfection of the naked human body pushed to the limits of ecstasy and pain, a rare opportunity to experience a flawless embodiment of wit and passion."
"This show sets out to smash boundaries and succeseds with intelligence, creativity and dark originality. What they have achieved is edgy, eerie, sometimes riotously funny and often stunning."

2. Sydney Stomp Interstate Intensive
LAWRENCE GRAZIOSE WORKSHOPS
THE ENNEAGRAM WEEKEND WORKSHOP Sat 8 – Sun 9 March
WISDOM & COMPASSION WEEKEND WORKSHOP Sat 15 – Sun 16 March
In 2004, 2006 and 2007, Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre hosted exciting weekend workshops with Lawrence Graziose from the USA, a renowned teacher of The Enneagram and of the Zen Buddist/Taoist View of Human Nature. We are pleased to welcome him back in 2008 and he has suggested that this may be his last visit to Australia for a while due to exciting opportunities available to him in the USA…so this may be your last chance!
THE ENNEAGRAM WEEKEND WORKSHOP Sat 8 – Sun 9 March (10AM – 5PM)
The Enneagram is an ancient psychological model which analyses personality types, ego structures and behaviours. It will look at nine ego-fixations which can create suffering in our daily lives and it offers ‘antidotes’ which can counteract the tendency to follow these ego-habits. It proves to be very useful for our work as actors investigating human nature and for our own personal development.
WISDOM & COMPASSION WEEKEND WORKSHOP Sat 15 – Sun 16 March (10AM – 5PM)
The section on wisdom will focus on spiritual practices that are designed to create an open and expanded mind. The section on Compassion will focus on practices that are designed to open the heart centre to the ‘service of others’. Both sets of practices help us to find true happiness in our lives.
WHERE: 82 Twilight St, Kenmore
COST: THE ENNEAGRAM WEEKEND WORKSHOP: $200
WISDOM & COMPASSION WORKSHOP: $100/DAY OR $175 WEEKEND

Named for modern society’s collective fascination with superlatives and for the biggest and best! of everything as much as for their wall of sound, Super Massive is a synth pop rock band with exhilarating, danceable grooves, an emphasis on melody and an engaging, energetic stage presence. The band has a unique sound and a treasure trove of songs that respond to the nature of today’s urbanised, fast-paced world.
Much of the writing was inspired by the experience of living in inner Sydney over the last couple of years. Says singer Malina Hamilton-Smith “Some of the songs are observations of society, whilst some are escapism – but escapism of a realistic kind. The sort of escapism anyone can achieve, such as trying to take life at a slower pace, living in the moment or living in your body as opposed to your head.”
Unlike many electro-heavy bands, Super Massive is a full rock band line-up, with synth elements used to add layers of texture, creating a very full and distinctive sound. Influences stretch beyond the current fashion for 80s synthpop to embrace aspects of 70s rock, glam rock, funk, French electro and big beat, building an original sound that avoids ever being purely retro.
Formed in 2005, Super Massive’s chief writers are singer/performer/writer Hamilton-Smith and drummer/composer Glenn Abbott (best known for his work in Machine Gun Fellatio). Talented bassist John D. Young (Marcia Hines, Chuck Berry, Vanda & Young) joined in 2006.
Rhythm and groove is incredibly important to Super Massive. “We want the music to move people, physically and emotionally. Glenn and John are both very funky players, and it’s awesome when they really let loose, play something intense and challenging and carry the audience away with them. They’re very good at adding tasty playing without distracting from the core structure of the song.”
One of the most popular events of the inner west’s cultural calendar, the Marrickville Road Festival is a street party that attracts over 50,000 people a year. “We’re thrilled to have been asked to play. We’re still a very new band and haven’t released any of our music yet, so it’s a lovely surprise to have been asked to join the bill of such a wonderful community spirited event. It’s great to be a part of it and we’re looking forward to a really fun day.”

TRIBAL DISCO III
Our third installment of genre transcending, mind bending, chakra mending disco beats....
Featuring Australia's finest;
Jet More (Brainwash)
Jet More's flamboyance behind the decks have made him an icon in the underground music scene. His unique brand of nu-wave electro funk is a melding of 80s new wave, electro, acid house, funk, and techno.
Jet has toured internationally playing at countless events and festivals including Burning Man and residency at
Tokyo superclub Pylon, and has releases on Transient, Victor/HMV, Subsonic and Sony collaborating with artists such as Tim Heally, Joujouka and Nick Taylor.
It seems more than fitting to have the man behind Cyberdelica join us for our third installment of Tribal Disco.
Schwa (Tribal Vision/Beef)
Schwa is currently residing in Sydney, away from his home the Czech Republic. Along with Slater, Schwa founded the Tribal Vision Record Label. Schwa is also behind a new sub-label with more of an electro tip called BEEF.
Schwa's innovative and creative mixing blends genres seamlessly, combining electro sounds that flow from deeper tribal progressive through electro, breaks and trance with pop and clash elements.
He rocked the dancefloor at the first Tribal Disco and we are pleased to have him join us once again.
suncontrolspecies (Iboga)
One of the most in demand artists in Australia, Drew aka SCS is undoubtably one of Australia's greatest musical talents, with releases on top labels worldwide including ZMA, Sub Machine, Starsound, Manta Recordings and Green Ant, and an upcoming album on Iboga.
SCS's smooth and intricate booty shakingly brilliant tech/prog/psy trance never failed to impress audiences worldwide.
Jack Unit
Melbourne palm clubbing icons Simon Slieker(Monotremes) and Heath Myers(Semi Retired) back to back on the decks.

The man behind Nocturnal parties, the Global Eyes calendar and cds, the Future Static radio program on PBS, as well as countless other events and projects, Andrew Haig has carved his own niche at the cutting edge of electronic dance music over the past 10 years.
