Are you looking to buy a bike in Perth?
With traffic congestion on the rise in our fast growing city of Perth, commuting to work by bike, or enjoying a scenic ride along the foreshore and scenic routes, could become a regular activity to enjoy. Buying your next bike through Atma Cycles will help you get out and about to explore Perth and at the same time help someone in need.
Atma Cycles – "Buy a Bike, Gift a Future", stands for Consumer Powered Change, and for every bicycle sold, one is given to a schoolgirl in India, to enable her to get an education and pull her whole family out of the poverty cycle.
The social enterprise is the brainchild of Perth entrepreneur Alex Carpenter who was inspired to create Atma Cycles after coming across the initiative developed by Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes.

Calvary is a suspense filled dramatic dark comedy set in Ireland, now showing at Luna Palace - Luna Leederville and SX in Fremantle.
It is brought to us by John Michael McDonagh, maker of The Guard.

Review Eight Gigabytes by Perth Theatre Company

With a title like Eight Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography, and a warning in the program that the play contains adult themes, sexual scenes and nudity, it was with some relief that my partner and I found ourselves walking into the Studio Underground to find a minimalist set of neutral coloured venetian blinds, two chairs and a luxurious looking carpet.
Performers Andrea Gibbs and Steve Rodgers were fully clothed and pacing around the stage as the audience filed in.

It was a cold winter’s evening as we stepped out the door to watch Dust by Black Swan State Theatre Company at the State Theatre Centre of WA.
Dust is Suzie Miller’s new play which is being shown to Perth audiences for the very first time.
A strange, huge, wind storm of red dust hits Perth….the city is forced to shut down, and the locals grapple with what is happening.
Is it an apocalypse or a major environment disaster? The end of the world, or a chance for new beginnings?

While sitting in our seats at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco waiting for the start of Shadowland, my partner and I perused the objects on stage and speculated about what sort of experience we were in for. From the brief teaser trailer we had seen, it looked like we were going to witness a night of shadow puppetry with a bit of a twist.
And then the performance was suddenly over, and we found ourselves clapping madly for the cast and crew, who had blown us away with their performance.
Shadowland involves silhouettes on a screen, but it's a long way from mere shadow puppets.

Did someone mention hardcore pornography and theatre in the same sentence?!
As we waited for the gong to ring before entering the Studio Underground to watch a play, the billboard for the production of Eight Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography caught my attention.
The Perth Winter Arts season will be serving up an action packed month of entertainment for arts and theatre goers. As part of the festivities for July, the Perth Theatre Company and the Griffin Theatre Company have joined forces to bring to audiences a night of comedy with their upcoming show Eight Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography.
