...points the motion seemed more like a reaction to Vores’ screeching tones. The music of “On the Brink,” by contrast, was not only remarkably compelling, but also complemented the choreography perfectly. The choice honored the 70th birthday of its composer, Philip Glass, this year. The piece’s style also differentiated it from the other two dances.

...suggests that it could be the one war film people will enjoy seeing. Set in the '80s, it details the efforts of a Texas Congressman (Tom Hanks) to get arms to the mujahedin fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. The Mike Nichols film, co-starring Oscar winners Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman, is at heart a can-do comedy about a wheeler-dealer having a good time doing good.

At a time when serious pictorial talent is so thin on the ground in the U.S., it seems bizarre that artists as excellent as John Olsen, Colin Lanceley, Tim Storrier and Mike Parr aren't the world figures they deserve to be. The only Australian art that attracts much overseas attention is contemporary Aboriginal art, which varies enormously in quality...
