Fremantle

Harness your imagination! Fear meets truth, and social isolation confronts you with the darker side of mythical creatures. Don't be fooled by what you see, as something else lurks behind you already. And what you hear is not necessarily what has been told. THE WITCH AND THE GOAT is an allegorical tale of generational change, telling about human destiny and the complexity of escaping the recreation of inherited patterns. But while breaking one cycle we are prone to create another. In reviving metaphorical creatures, the performers engage with the deeper meaning of myths and their morals and bring classic archetypes into the present context. As usual, Existence Theatre will take the audience on an emotional journey that won't be easily forgotten. Presented by: ART IN PROCESS Existence Theatre, the Australian/Austrian artist duo of Elisabeth M Eitelberger and Bello Benischauer, have been challenging audiences for twenty years with their peculiar brand of confrontational and thought-provoking theatre (X-PRESS Mag, 2020). They work with changing ensembles and create poignant, powerful, engaging, critical, non-conventional, poetic and surreal performances. Their performers approach the audience in a unique way by breaking down the fourth wall. Hot: Shows to take Fringe up a notch. Think titillating, heart-racing, cheeky, thrilling, political.

Childhood memories are the trigger for Graham Miller's photographic series Playing the Man. The playful and humorous images are a celebration of football and a nostalgic look at the past. Referencing Scanlens bubble-gum football cards from the 1970s and 80s, as well as press images from the era, Miller recreates himself as boyhood football heroes to explore issues of masculinity, identity, and cultural difference. At a moment when Australian sport and the wider community are debating the values and behaviour we expect of our role models, this exhibition provides an accessible and light-hearted entry into serious issues.

First up is Le Double Bill, two shows in one! “Get Fit with Jane Funda” will explore the challenges of a fluorescent 80s disco aerobics workout. Then, “Down.Rebound.” will take you on a journey of friendship, connection and the grit required to put on a show. Le Double Bill is presented by Simon Wood, Ben Kotovski-Steele and Cat Ranieri with support from the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. After the lights, acrobatics and lycra of Le Double Bill, grab another round from the Carni-Bar and settle in for “The Fall, A Divorce and Peacocks”, Chloe Shadlow’s solo show about falling hard, spinal injuries and one woman’s audacity to bounce back. From Fluoro lights to fractured hearts, dynamic duos to daring women, Fringe at CircusWA’s Freo Big Top has got stories to share for all lovers of circus, determination, friendship and theatrics. This is an accessible event. Please contact CircusWA with any access requirements.

Presented by three of WA's finest circus artists, “Get Fit with Jane Funda” and “Down. Rebound.” will explore the dangers and challenges of a hard-hitting, fluorescent 80s disco aerobics workout and the trials and tribulations involved in just getting something on the stage. 10/10 an easier and cheaper option than actually going to France right now with double the entertainment value. Presented by: Simon Wood Simon Wood, Ben Kotovski-Steele and Cat Ranieri are three experienced WA circus artists with a wide range of skills based in acrobatics, aerials and juggling. When not performing throughout Europe/Australia, they can often be found upside down in various circus spaces throughout Perth or being cultured in various cafés near said spaces while exceeding the daily recommended intake of coffee consumption. Mild: Shows with broad family appeal and entertainment to suit all ages. Big on fun, low on risk.

A solo show about falling hard, spinal injuries and one woman's audacity to bounce back. A graphic retelling of surviving every circus performers' nightmare-a 9 metre fall while performing- the 7 hour life-saving surgery, and lengthy recovery process that followed. This autobiographical journey rides the line between life and death, recovery and rediscovery. Heart, body and identity fractured and being divorced while your spine is broken, is a bit of a grind. But bones can heal stronger...and pushing off rock bottom has never been so fun! Performing in the circus industry for 17 years, Chloe comes to FRINGE WORLD with her solo debut full of emotion, survival, heartache, victory, and a big, hard circus pole which she commands with dexterity and daring. Presented by: Chloe Shadlow Chloe began circus training with Reg Bolton, and later, aerials and partner acrobatics at Circus WA. Specialising in Chinese Pole and Flying Trapeze, Chloe graduated N.I.C.A. with a BA of Circus Arts. Chloe has performed nationally and internationally, corporately and with companies such as Circus Joseph Ashton, Lennon Bros. Circus, POP Circus (Japan), at ‘Hoopla!’ Festival in Sydney, and at previous Perth Fringe festivals. Hot: Shows to take Fringe up a notch. Think titillating, heart-racing, cheeky, thrilling, political.

Ngaalang Moort (Our Family) is a compilation of stunning lullabies created by Noongar families in 2020, when the world was turned on its head and we couldn’t all meet together.

CAN took the program online and directly into people’s homes, where these talented participants joined facilitators Charmaine Councillor and Phil Bartlett online to learn the basics of Noongar language and songwriting. Once everyone had their song written and learnt, they recorded their vocals at home ready for final studio production by Charmaine, Phil and sound engineer / musician, Sean Lillico.

The conditions make this album an even more remarkable achievement by everyone involved!

These 15 songs reflect the personal experiences of the people involved. They are  a celebration of moort (family), koort (heart), woonya (love) and a legacy for all.

Lullabies is produced by CAN in collaboration with Noongar families and is supported through the Australian Government’s Indigenous Languages and Arts program and the Australia Council for the Arts.

Young Robin fuse a kaleidoscope of influences from indie rock, pop, rnb and jazz to create a soulful and driven alt-pop sound somewhere between blissful indie and dance floor anthems.

In addition to their deft song writing, Young Robin stage presence has earned them their place in Perth’s upper echelon of live acts.

FAC introduces a carefully curated line-up of WA’s best musicians every weekend in the beautiful setting of Fremantle.

We recommend you arrive early and settle in for the afternoon. Bring a rug and picnic (no BYO alcohol) to this family friendly event, or enjoy tasty treats from the food vendors and bar on-site. Some chairs provided.

After a 15 year break Perth Pub Rockers, ‘Riff Raff’ are firing on all cylinders and back on the road delivering the same powerful performances that saw them sell out venues in the early 2000’s The last time the boys were in Fremantle they played on the back of a flatbed truck around the cappuccino strip to promote the 25th Anniversary of Bon Scott’s passing which culminated with a ceremony at the Fremantle cemetery before they headlined a sellout performance at the Leopold hotel. After regular talks the band decided to reform and after a warm up sell out out show at the Charles Hotel are primed for a big year which kicks off at the Beaconsfield Hotel on Australia Day Eve with a night of Aussie Rock Classics. Fellow pub rockers “ Nitraine” will start off the night with doors opening at 8pm. Tickets are available through 0ztix or at the door if not sold out prior and thanks to Fosters the first 50 people through the door will receive a complimentary beer

We purchased a "Complete Works of Shakespeare" and the pages were in the wrong order so we just... went with it. Prepare to be on the edge of your seats for an emotionally thrilling, outright raucous ride as seven actors perform the Tragedy of Hamlet and As You Like It together, as one. If you're a Shakespeare fiend or a friend just being dragged along, we reckon you'll have the time of your life while we have the Bard rolling in his grave. (Sorry Will) Medium: For boomers, younger couples and teens. Thought-provoking, but not confronting.

What is mother Hecate to do when she finds her creations broken and discarded? Will she let Hughey repair and keep them for his collection? Or will the ruined dolls peel away their bisque patches and reveal the raw stories they have to tell?

Incy-Wincy Spider gets washed out, the sun comes out and the climb up the water spout starts again. Conflict is inevitable in life, and while sometimes it may be impossible to dissolve externally, it is vital to transcend it through inner strength and resilience. It is not about the fight against it but choosing a direction within it and finding ease, to keep going in the face of adversity. Internal evolution is readily available when limits are challenged and we reach beyond our comfort zone, much like a child learning to walk, succeeding by standing up after falling over constantly. Choreographed by Montserrat Heras and performed with live original music by Jesse Vivante. Presented by: Montserrat Heras What is most essential in my practice is truth, evolution, curiosity, determination, connection and artistry. I believe that artistic development is an infinite journey, in which we are constantly seeking out new tools to fulfil self-actualisation and illuminate new perceptions. For these reasons I have pursued professional development as a contemporary dancer at Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company MASA Program in Israel, Broadway Dance Center Professional Semester in NYC and other programs in Melbourne and around the world. As an emerging young Australian dance artist with also Spanish and Mexican nationalities I aim to create a multifaceted experience for the audience expressing the universality of the human experience. Mild: Shows with broad family appeal and entertainment to suit all ages. Big on fun, low on risk.

~CUP & STRING:

Released on Universal Music, KMS Records, Large Music, Central Station Records, Slime Recordings, Urban Dubz, M2MR. 

Cup & String was an idea between two mates in 2015 who share 2 decades of friendship. What started as banter has turned into a duo producing a variety of House Music and UK garage. Coming from two very different musical backgrounds, one half of the duo specialises in nu disco, and the other is part of an international renowned drum and bass outfit. With their varied knowledge and expertise, the two have created their own sound and have charted multiple times in top 10s on Traxsource, Beatport and Juno. 

With a string of exciting releases to come the duo will continue to push the boundaries of electronic music with their feet still firmly planted in the underground.

 

~WYN:

An up and coming producer/DJ in the Perth bass music scene, WYN has been playing hard-hitting and genre diverse sets at major venues almost every weekend since the launch of her project in mid-

2016. Nightclubs Ambar, Capitol, Villa, Flyrite and Jack Rabbits Slim’s, as well as Sets on the Beach, Falls Festival and Listen Out, are just a few of the venues that have played host to WYN’s dark melodic mixes and soul shaking subs. A lover of glitchy beats, soulful vibes and unique sound design, WYN has been knuckling down to work on a series of original productions. Her debut single, 'Never Be', and latest release ‘A Meeting’, part of ProtoCode’s Ascension LP, encapsulate the breadth of musical diversity she has been inspired by, and foreshadows some huge actions to come from the young producer.
