Details: Written by: Nita Teoh; Published: 15 November 2014

Maylands hawkers markets kicked off the season on Saturday 1 November with the theme of Day of the Dead and it certainly kicked off with a bang. It was a full house and when we arrived, we were greeted to a huge crowd of patrons, family, kids and dogs in tow, in the area outside the Maylands RISE.

Though it was quite crowded, it was a friendly atmosphere, with people enjoying their meal, chatting, talking, and checking out the food stalls. Kids were kept entertained playing amongst themselves, and running around on the grassed areas.

The markets had a lively atmosphere, and the usual suspects were there.

Gasp! By Ben Elton first debuted way back in 1990 in London under the stage name Gasping, and was set in corporate Britain.

25 years later, the team of Black Swan State Theatre Company, Queensland Theatre Company and Elton have dug it up from the depths, transplanted it to Australia's mining industry, given it a bit of a modern spit and polish and set it loose on unsuspecting theatregoers.

Did someone say Brazouk?

Yes - the much anticipated Brazouka has opened in Perth at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco.

The high energy dance performance tells the story of the main character Braz Dos Santos.

Braz grew up in Portos Seguro, Brazil, where his childhood is shared with many other siblings, and times are tough, as he spends much of his time out at sea to help his family put food on the table.

As the evening progresses, we are swept into Braz’s other exciting world, that of his passion for dance.

Wednesday 22 October 2014 - the day that the festival kicked off also happens to fall on the auspicious day of Deepavali – a special day when people from around the world celebrate the ancient Hindu festival of light triumphing darkness. Wishing all the local people who celebrate this festival in Perth a happy Deepavali.

Book Review: The Lake's Apprentice

Details: Written by: Nita Teoh; Published: 27 September 2014

The Lake’s Apprentice is a book about nature that explores Lake Yalgorup, a chain of lakes between Mandurah and Bunbury in Western Australia as seen through the eyes of the author Annamaria Weldon.

Weldon explores the lakes through a set of keen eyes, and as the reader it is lovely to see her exuberance around such a unique landscape as told through her compilation of essays, poems, photography and notes.

As she visits the lake, she observes a myriad of things, each time a little different, another observation, another encounter with nature.
