Revolt Melbourne Artspace

The website is now live for Melbourne's Revolt Productions as is the venue itself as well as the coffee shop. Be sure to check it out. The Grand Opening was on November 6 with a Neo-Victorian/Steam Punk theme and Rebekah and I were in charge of the studio and offering portraits on the night. Along with the photo studio and coffee shop, Revolt also houses an art gallery, theatrette, cinema room and the main stage area. Get on the mailing list so you don't miss out on the action.

Melbourne - Technology - Revolt Productions

Gotta love technology! 6 days in Melbourne (mostly work, carefully balanced with pleasure) and after much hand wringing and swearing, phone calls and visits to telstra shops, I finally got the pre-paid mobile broadband to work an hour before I flew back to the sunny coast. Also in that time both email addresses had technical issues which meant some emails bounced back to the sender and some were deleted never to be seen again. So if you haven't heard back from me, please try again.

Other than that, there were no technical difficulties evident at Melbourne's snazziest new performing arts centre's first live gig. Rebekah and I were there to document history in the making.

You don't get a second chance to make a first impression and Revolt wowed its first-time patrons with its stylish, spacious and moody interior. Powerful performances by The Nymphs, Tim Cannon and The Twoks matched the vibrant ambience and left the audience adding Revolt to their Twitter feed, ready to return for more sensory goodness.

Louise King - The cello guru

I confess to being more than a little in awe of my lovely friend Louise's talent. As well as being a brilliant performer, Louise has amazing organisational skills as was evident recently when I photographed the end of year concert with her students and special guests performing at the Eudlo Hall. With students ranging in age from the very young to the not quite so young, solo performances to an en masse of cellists for the Christmas Carol finale, Louise's energy and smile shone throughout. Here are a few of my favourites from the day.















If you'd like more info on Louise, here are a couple of links.

Carisma

I once again have some photos of the incredibly talented Louise to share with you. This time with Carisma in concert with special guest drummer David Jones, at the Majestic Theatre in Pomona.

After 18 years on the Coast this was my first venture into Pomona and I was surprised to discover a mountain I haven't climbed! Okay, so I've been hiding under a bush for the past however long. How could I not have known about Mt Cooroora? Anyway, it's now on my "to do" list. Anyone want to come with me?

Oh, back to the concert. I am simply in awe of such amazing talent. It was beautiful.










I suggested to Louise, David and the gorgeous Belly Dancer whose name escapes me, that they would make a popular act at the Woodford Folk Festival next year. Here's hoping!
