Hi!
So Twins is over, and the Fringe is nearly over too. We still have a few sessions of Back of the Bus dropping by the reading room. Get on it!
Last night we flooded too. Yeah, it's happened before, and we've recovered before, but still it happens. And it's gross. We're working on a solution, but solutions cost $$ so if you have any ideas, contacts or donations, please get in touch!

:: Adelaide Fringe 2012 ::
:: Thursday 23rd February - Sun 18th March :: Hard Lines by Kat Coppock & Tiff Hampton :: CLOSES SUNDAY! Only 3 days left - have you made your purchase yet?
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.
And don't forget, the Three Minute Project premiere - it's this weekend!!!

Opening night :: Thursday 22nd March from 6pm
To feel tied to somewhere you cannot be is as crippling as it is thrilling. Fruzsi is tied to Hungary (her birthplace), the Netherlands and Germany; places she has travelled, lived and loved in. Stephanie is tied to Denmark; she lived there in 2008 and fell in love with its bikes, its design, its pastries, its funny little (impossible) language and its cosiness. Fruszi and Stephanie hope to exorcise their nostalgia by sharing these things with you.
Fruzsi Kenez is storyteller, traveler and curious fan of the unusual and the strange; an illustrator, ceramist and photographer.
Stephanie Lyall is a jill of all trades who is constantly dreaming of Scandinavia. Sometimes she takes photographs.
:: Saturday 24th March ::
Songwriting Circle :: 6pm - late
It's time for Adelaide to develop its songwriting culture and establish a community of songwriters that can lean on one another.
SongLine School of Musical Composition is presenting a Songwriting Circle at the Reading Room.
Entry is free, all are welcome to attend.
Any songwriters interested in being in the circle can make a submission to danielle by emailing danielle@songlinemusic.com.au
This is a great opportunity for songwriters to share material with fellow songwriters. It's a time to discuss the craft of songwriting and the writing process.
We hope to see many faces there! Website: www.songlinemusic.com.au

:: Wednesday 4th April ::
April Meeting of the Adelaide Feminists Reading Group :: 6:30 - 9:30
If
you thought feminism was just about men and women, think again: this
month, we're reading Viviane Namaste's 'Sex Change, Social Change:
Reflections on Identity, Institutions, and Imperialism', which addresses
the less- discussed topic of how feminism relates to transsexual
politics.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
