CONTENTS

Winter in Brisbane is never a time to hibernate. With our mild climate and active lifestyle there are plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy all the arts and culture our city has to offer.

Brisbane Powerhouse has curated a program that encompasses both the inspirational and the entertaining to make sure every visit is memorable over the May-August period.

In June, be inspired by the Australian premiere of the World Press Photo 2014 exhibition. Enticing thousands to Brisbane Powerhouse each year, this extraordinary exhibition will compel

you with its wide array of subjects – from sports stars to freedom fighters – and news stories from around the world.

For cabaret fans the inaugural Queensland Cabaret Festival is a must-see. From 6-21 June, Brisbane Powerhouse will showcase the best of Australian and international cabaret with

performances by MadMen’s Bryan Batt, Caroline Nin, Melanie Safka, Ali McGregor and more.

If you’re looking for school holiday fun, then look no further; the popular children’s festival Powerkids makes a return to Brisbane Powerhouse in July. This year all the festival favourites

are back. There’s the Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! show, as well as a range of creative workshops and free entertainment for under 12s.

For those in need of a little comic relief, you can’t look past Jimeoin and Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow for incisive wit and hilarious observations. If physical comedy is more

your style, check out the critically acclaimed contortions of The Umbilical Brothers.

With so much on offer from May-August, I encourage everyone to come and visit Brisbane Powerhouse and experience something unique, inspiring and entertaining.

LORD MAYOR’S MESSAGE


WELCOME

Winter in Brisbane is an awesome time – it’s almost cold enough to wear a scarf and here at Brisbane Powerhouse we’ve got plenty of shows,

exhibitions and events to keep you excited and out of the rain.

We’ve recently opened our doors to WTF and the Australian Performing Arts Market, and hundreds of international arts companies have experienced

Queensland’s punk cathedral for contemporary culture.

That continues this month: Australia’s greatest modern dance and circus companies are arriving, with Chunky Move’s production of Keep Everything, and Beyond by Brisbane’s own Circa. The Rock Surfers Theatre Company

brings its celebrated production of David Williamson’s The Removalists, plus there’s Rhonda Burchmore in Vinyl Viagra, the bewilderingly funny Umbilical

Brothers and the World Press Photo 2014 exhibition.

Also in the spirit of opening our doors and sharing the best of Brisbane, we’re collaborating with our friends at arts centres across the state to

launch the new Queensland Cabaret Festival.

So, come all ye pop culture intellectuals, grab some mates and a glass of something and share an experience unlike any other in Brisbane.

And leave the scarf at home!

WELCOME

Blood: The Stuff of Life is a bold meditation on blood as a historical and contemporary marker of identity, belonging, gender, race, class, citizenship, athletic superiority and nationhood. Blood runs red through every person’s arteries and fulfils the same functions in every human being. The study of blood has advanced our understanding of biology and improved medical treatments, but its cultural and social representations

have divided us perennially. Blood pulses through

religion, literature, and the visual arts. Every time it pools or spills, we learn a little more about what brings human beings together and what pulls us apart. For centuries, perceptions of difference in our blood have separated people on the basis of gender, race, class, and nation.

Barclay and Hill will lead you in an exploration of the idea of ‘blood purity’. This

concept has spawned rules about who gets to belong to a family or cultural group, who enjoys the rights of citizenship and nationality, what privileges one can expect to be granted or denied, whether you inherit poverty or the right to rule over the masses, what constitutes fair play in sport, and what defines a person’s identity.

When star sex blogger and memoirist Ethan tracks down his idol, the gifted but obscure novelist Olivia, he finds they both crave what the other possesses.

As attraction turns to sex, they confront the dark side of ambition and the near impossibility of reinventing oneself when the past is just one click away.

Sex with Strangers is a fast-paced, witty and compelling story that explores the clash of the public and the personal when love and the digital age collide.

Multi-award-winning director Jennifer Flowers reconnects with actors Thomas Larkin and Veronica Neave who worked together on the critically acclaimed 2012 Queensland Theatre Company production of Romeo and Juliet. Warning: this play may contain material not suitable for viewing by children or those with a clean web-browsing history.
