Tickets are now available for their shows on March 10, 17 and 24 at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
Of course, the crowd we had to work with wasn’t quite big enough, so there may have been a little composite work. In reality, Jim here was telling his amazing story to… well, no one 🙁
Capturing a dance school makes for a pretty crazy day – lots and lots and lots and lots of little tiny dancers in tutus, through to the older more experienced dancers. It is particularly great to work with dancers that know what they want to do and focus on getting a move just right, while we focus on getting the composition and the lighting just right – in a really small window, so we can move to the next dancer! It’s fun to make magic. Here are some of our favourites.
Miss C is an absolute professional; getting the lighting and pose just right for this image was a challenge, and she worked tirelessly to make sure these were perfect.
Miss E has been rising through the ranks each year – she’s a great performer and very focused.
We’ve seen Miss K’s confidence and ability grow every year, and we’re certain she’s not going to stop any time soon 🙂
Emily has been a star every year – we photographed her family a few years ago, and it’s great to see her at the top of her game.
Bree is one of the superstars at MDS; in 2018 she is moving in to a teaching role with the school, and we wish her all the best!
OK, this isn’t one of the students. This is our good friend Stefan Cooper-Fox of CF Photography, who helps us each year.
The 2018 Brisbane Comedy Festival is approaching fast, and no matter what you are going along to see, you should make time to swing by the Turbine Platform to see the Queensland Theatresports Championships. Presented by ImproMafia, some of the fastest brains in the business will build scenes right in front of you with no planning and no safety net. Teams will be battling it out to see who will walk away with the trophy! So, you see, it’s theatre, and it’s also sports, thus Theatresports. Now… How do you market this to footy-crazy Brisbaneites? Clearly, a footy-theatre mashup is the way to go.
Here’s Scott Driscoll, who is extremely cool with wearing an olde type theatre ruffle collar and running about with a skull. Originally the image was going to be a solo with just Scott running with the ball, er, skull, towards the finish line.
Adding a second player to the image gave it the dynamics it sorely needed. Enter Drew Lochrie, who in his day job is one of Australia’s best pantomime horse back-ends, a challenging role that prepared him well for this one.
