All the World's a Stage

My submission for Swell Sculpture Festival 2013 has been accepted! The festival runs from September 13 - 22 at Currumbin Beach, QLD. I'm going to make the piece above into a six foot high sculpture that can be viewed from all directions. The title is "All the World's a Stage" referring to a monologue from Shakespeare's play - As You Like It. You can get more info about Swell and the events leading up to it at the following link http://www.swellsculpture.com.au/  

Also on the stage we saw a fantastic performance last weekend of "Red" a play about Mark Rothko and a series of paintings he was commissioned to make for the Seagrams company in New York City in the 1950s. It is a two man show with Rothko's studio assistant providing an excellent second character to tell this fascinating story. The season runs from 27 April to 19 May at the Playhouse Theatre, QPAC, Brisbane.
