All Class.
Or, ‘It takes a village to raise a cabaret’. My debut cabaret has come and gone, and I can’t believe it. Over two beautiful nights at The Butterfly Club, I got to sing my original songs to two beautiful, responses audiences. And they had some lovely things to say! Here is some feedback posted online…
2015 Wrap Up
Or, ‘I feel like I blinked and missed August!’ I remember sitting down to write my 2014 wrap up and primarily feeling grateful that the year was ending. Last year was a tough one, and I was excited to throw myself into 2015, a new year and a new start. Well, with that year now…
Embracing Bowie: The Performances
Or, ‘Can you imagine if we just made this obnoxiously jazzy?’ It started with a tap on the shoulder from my friends at ACMI (I’d previously worked with the lovely team to do a Judy Garland tribute for their Hollywood Costumes exhibition), it continued with an amazingly fun photoshoot, and then it was time to…
Embracing Bowie: The Photoshoot
Or, ‘I think I might always wear suits from now on’. When I was first approached to be a part of the David Bowie Is exhibition at ACMI, I was mid-plotting with the lovely Anita G Photography about several shoot ideas. Once the exhibition came up, I knew that I didn’t want to promote it…

And no, I don’t think that’s an exaggeration, because this is the film was the catalyst for my ubiquitous red lipstick (yep, that went over reallllly well with the…
Farewell, Alice.
Or, ‘What do you do with promo shots once the show is over?’ Help! It’s been months since A Mad Tea Party/ A F*#king Mad Tea Party wrapped in Adelaide and I’m left with a collection of promotional shots and performance images that I don’t know what to do with. I’m still so proud of…
When You’re Good To Mama…
Or, ‘All great cabaret divas are destined to one day cross paths.’ Once there were two vintage-loving chanteuses, drifting separately in the sea that was Monash University Student Theatre. It was through the insistence of friends that I first met the beautiful Mama Alto, having regularly been encouraged with the likes of, ‘They like jazz…
#ADLFringe
Or, ‘There’s no madness like Alice in Adelaide.’ There’s nothing quite so mad as Adelaide Fringe Festival. Or, to be more specific, diving in to a ‘carnivalesque Wonderland’ with A Mad Tea Party and A F*#king Mad Tea Party at Adelaide Fringe Festival! I had never visited Adelaide before going to Fringe, and I was…
