Exhibition review: Renee Kire: Twist and Turn, Rockhampton Museum of Art
Renee Kire addresses women’s minimalist sculpture.
Exhibition review: Angelica Mesiti: The Rites of When, AGNSW
Angelica Mesiti delivers a complex and immersive video work, but it is overshadowed by the architecture of the Tank gallery.

A one-person show exploring toxic masculinity and domestic abuse.

Book review: Skysong, C A Wright

Opera review: Don Giovanni, Meat Market Stables
The delivery of a BDSM centric interpretation of a classic opera is rough around the edges
Comedy review: Big Nose Big Dreams, Sydney Fringe Festival
A debut solo show from an Egyptian-Australian writer and comic who avoids the usual diaspora stories.
Dance review: We Call It Ballet: Sleeping Beauty, Capitol Theatre
Fluoro-lit ballet that has little to do with the classic fairytale.
