“If I try to conjure up a picture of that waiting-room today I immediately see the Nocturama, and if I think of the Nocturama the waiting room springs to mind…“ W.G. Sebald, Austerlitz
First Entry is an exploration in memory, space, time and the original exposure. It is a three-month project by Perth-based new media and installation artist Kylie Ligertwood as part of the PICA Studio Program.
A challenging opportunity exists for five solo performing artists from any discipline to each perform a 20 minute improvised response to a new media installation in the Tower Studio at PICA. There will be no exposure to the installation prior to performing.
Please respond to kylie@artrage.com.au with a bio and contact details by Friday 25th August.
Selected artists will be informed by 30th August.
Performances will take place 1st-5th November at PICA as part of 2006 mini Artrage Festival.

With an enthralling combination of voice, cellos and percussion, wood's music invites audiences to enjoy the taste of something very special. wood's collaborative output includes original songs by award winning Mel Robinson alongside new compositions from recent WASO composer in residence Iain Grandage, making their concerts a feast of colour, humour and life.

The Fremantle Symphony Orchestra has commissioned local composer, David Pye, to write an oboe concerto inspired by Fremantle, and in particular its wonderful cafes. Each movement of the concerto is named after a different coffee, beginning with an early morning long black, finishing with an espresso, and taking in a soy mocha latte, short black and an affogato along the way. The work has been especially written for WA’s brilliant and effervescent oboist, Leanne Glover.
The program opens with Vivaldi’s ever-popular violin concerto “Spring” from the “Four Seasons” and concludes with Stravinsky’s mighty Rite of Spring.
