About CiTY NiGHTfall–
TAKE A STEP BACK IN TIME with a series of shapes from the pages of much loved Australian modernist poet, Kenneth Slessor.
Proceeding from experience of a past Sydney through visions that hold a momentary exaltation extending from the 1930s. Poetic images that evoke the sensory qualities of experience in flesh and blood, lived with ‘feel’.

“Writing poetry is a pleasure, ...a pleasure out of hell”
- Kenneth Slessor 1947

About the show:

Candy Royalle: Love Spectacular is an hour-long journey into the euphoric highs and the dark depths of love from one of Sydney's best loved performance poets. Using song, storytelling and poetry, this one-woman show draws on the personal experiences of Candy and her intimates. At times confronting and sexually-charged, this intense show will take its audience to the brink and back...

Candy Royalle recently performed at the launch of Guerilla Poetry (organised by Jess Cook and Token Imagination in conjunction with the Poets Union and the city of Sydney) and has appeared at many gigs and festivals all over Australia.

About the show Madwoman’s Breakfast. Eat my Bush!
From Federico Garcia Lorca to Phyllis Diller, from Gloria Steinem to Jerzy Kosinski : it’s a
madwoman’s breakfast! One Australian’s mixmaster of metaphors and emotions about America - opening up a Pandora’s pantry of photos, poetry, quotes and smirks. By Cathy Bray.

About the Madwoman – Cathy Bray has been writing poetry and thinking about America for a very long time. She combines her photos of New York with her own poems and every American literary, film and comic influence she can muster.

Cathy Bray has had her poetry published in a number of anthologies (Phoenix, Prismatics, ILLUMINA 2007) websites and journals (Five Bells). In 2010, her first chapbook of poems ‘The Owl’ was published by Picaro Press

PUFF is a collection of poetry on film, in film, about film, about poetry, about film about poetry, with poetry on film
PUFF is the collision of two worlds - the literal and the visual - to form a lisual, viteral, visceral experience, the likes of which you have probably seen before, but in a totally different way. PUFF is uncensored, incensed,insensitive, desensitised and nonsensical; may offend some viewers (with any luck),
contain adult themes and strong language…expect the unexpected and enjoy a series of predictable surprises.

PUFF has been co-ordinated by the Australian Poetry Centre
