Theatre Audiences Vs Hip-Hop Theatre
I have been on stage from Tuesday to Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 5pm since May 5th 2009, performing my self-written, autobiographical, solo hip hop theatre piece. It has been a very personal journey on this show, more than most of the other work I have done, which kind of makes sense right? Autobiographical, solo show… it’s going to be personal no matter how what. But something which I’ve really been noticing is the way my experience changes depending on the nightly makeup of the audience. Now I love everyone who supports independent theatre so these thoughts are coming from a special part of my heart but I need to be plain-speaking about these issues, so here goes… Read more…
Candy B, Creative Sydney Catalyst
Creative Sydney is a festival celebrating the wealth and diversity of the city’s creative talents from May 27- June 12. In its inaugural year, Creative Sydney will feature a provocative talks program and event series at the Museum of Contemporary Art and The Roxy, Paramatta, as well as the launch of Creative Catalysts – a list of Sydney’s creative pioneers.
So it seems that I’ve been selected to accelerate the creative chemical soup which is the Sydney arts scence. I can’t wait. More details on the Creative Sydney website.
Oh No They Didn’t!
It’s nothing new that newspapers be frontin’ yo, but does the SM-Hate really want this beef? Look, you got soldiers, we got soldiers… why you want to hate on playa?
Some times you just gotta brush that ish off. I guess they got one thing right:
the soundtrack [...] is busy and inventive and the Dizee Rascal-style Blasian [...] is a hit
Daily Telegraph Article
Wednesday’s Daily Telegraph (Sydney tabloid) had a review of the show. You can download the full article as a PDF.
“The sassy performer who opens her one-woman show at the Old Fitzroy Theatre this week has been one half of hip-hop duo Sista She, playing for a decade to adoring crowds from venues such as the Sydney Opera House and Big Day Out to the Edinburgh Fringe Festivay.”
I love it when the Daily Telegraph uses “sassy” in their reviews.
“Who’s That Chik?” New Trailer!
Southern Courier Article
There’s a new article about the show in the Southern Courier’s Central Magazine. We’ve got a PDF of the article if you’d like the full lowdown.
1 + 3 VIP Ticket deal
So usually VIP tickets are given to the media and “important” theatre industry types but for this show we want to do something a little different. I am looking for patrons to buy a ticket for themselves and 3 tickets for young people who might not otherwise get a chance to see my show… that’s 1 ticket for you and 3 for the kids. Total cost $100.
I am currently working as the Youth Engagement Officer for Powerhouse Youth Theatre in Fairfield and connecting with young people across the West (including Bankstown, Fairfield, Liverpool, Campbelltown). I want to get 60 kids into the show (that’s just one full house). That means we need 20 patrons!
Maybe you’re an organisation, a business or just someone who has some spare Kevin money but we need your help. Each patron will be featured on the website (unless you don’t want to be) and receive a special thank you poster signed by the cast and crew.
To become a patron get in touch with our Producer, Saskia:

Interculturalism and Creativity in 21C
Last year the British Council released a report titled Interculturalism and Creativity in the 21st Century. It’s an interesting look at where are and cultural and religious diversity intersect in modern cities.
This will be the century of the city. For the first time, over half the world’s population now live in cities. In East Asia alone, the World Bank estimates that another 2,000,000 people are living in cities every month. This presents a big challenge for policy-makers and urban dwellers everywhere. Put simply: how do we ensure that our cities develop into diverse, creative and entrepreneurial environments where global citizens can thrive
Here’s a link to the PDF report.
