Unanswered! Melbourne's most spectacular dance of...
Dance isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But some dance performances are so spectacular they leave even the greatest sceptics open-mouthed in awe and wonder. Unanswered! is one such piece. The excitement of the dancing, the urgency of the music and the brilliance of the lighting, with one scene melting seamlessly into the next, is truly spell-binding. Don’t let this be “the...
4play2: Courting Mae West
This was the one I was most looking forward to seeing. I expected a play about the sex goddess Mae West… What I got was something very very different.
It wasn’t the usual queer crowd, it felt like I was waiting in line to go see a matinee show of Phantom of the Opera. Nevertheless, it was good to be amongst a crowd who were also fans of this seductive woman…
It was a...

This year it was the fabulous and extremely funny Chrissie Swan and Yumi Stynes. However to describe to the...

Roller Derby
One of the must enjoyable events at any GLBT festival is the local roller derby event and Midsumma is no exception.
Roller Derby has actually bee around for close to eighty years, but it has had its peaks and dales of popularity. However I’m happy to say it is definitely on the up side.
Roller Derby on the surface appears to be a mixture of not just roller skating but also but Quiddich,...
