Talking about the art and the craft …

You’ll find interviews with Queensland artists and creatives here.

David Walters (Interview 27)

by Editor 31 December 2011

I’m conscious that this interview has been quite a while in the write-up. Of course, I have no one to blame but myself and the busy-ness of life since I sat down to talk with David Walters beside a cosy fire after a delicious dinner on the last day of July. However, I’m also going [...]

Wesley Enoch (Interview 28 )

by Kate Foy 2 September 2011

We start with the background stuff – Anthea is Brisbane-born, bred and educated, though new to the Brisbane indie scene [...]

Michelle is a QUT graduate with a BA Drama Hons (Theatre Studies). By her third year, she found [...]
