:: Adelaide Fringe 2012 ::
:: Thursday 23rd February - Sun 18th March :: Hard Lines by Kat Coppock & Tiff Hampton
Fresh off the back of exhibitions "Les Petites Morts" and "Dirty Truth" respectively, local Adelaide artists Kat Coppock and Tiff Hampton have collaborated for a special Fringe mash-up of epic proportions!
Celebrating the theme of festival excesses, Hard Lines takes the normal and turns it towards the absurd. These two artists paint, draw, and collage their interpretation of emotional, physical, and psychological indulgence resulting in the largest exhibition ever held in this space.
Nearly 200 original works by these artists are priced below the poverty line, with all proceeds going to the human condition's noble cause. Following purchase, works are immediately available to take home, commemorating your moment of decadence forever.
:: Friday 24th February - Sunday 11th March :: Back of the Bus by Java dance Company (NZ)
Come ride on a bus through the streets of Adelaide as dancers propel themselves along the aisles and hang from the roof.
Physical comedy, pure kinetic energy and outrageous scenarios combine to create a magical mystery tour of the unexpected. Fresh from sell-out seasons at 6 NZ arts festivals.
Fringe event page - Tickets from $22.
:: Tuesday 28th February - Saturday 10th March :: Twins by Isobel Roberts-Orr
7:30 - 8:30 Tues - Sat. Bar open before, and after!
Patti and Sam have created their own world; a dark, satisfying fantasy. But the outside world begins to interfere. Unwilling to leave the cage they have made for themselves so enters Tai. A person they adopt. The seemingly innocuous Tai soon threatens to contaminate and destroy their perfect, insular paradise.

Prostitution.
Depravity. Artificial hymens. Welcome to the world of Fanny Hill. John
Cleland's 'Fanny Hill, or, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure' was written
while he was in debtors' prison in 1748, and was thereafter the reading
material of choice for schoolboys to read under the duvet with a
flashlight. While it is no longer viewed as the kind of book you smuggle
out of shops in a brown paper bag, it still raises questions that
provoke debate amongst feminists today: is prostitution a choice? Is it
always exploitation? What constitutes women's empowerment?
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Facebook eventLooking forward to seeing you there!
And don't forget, the Three Minute Project premiere!
