One of the must-see stars of Australia's alternative poetry Candy Royalle Underground poetry is an emerging trend across the nation, driven by generation X and Y wordsmiths with cutting insight and great stories to tell.

One of the must-see stars of Australia's alternative poetry movement is dreadlocked, colourful and eclectic poet Candy Royalle.

A young veteran of the festival scene, Royalle is revered by modern day poets and word-loving audiences for her powerful verse and deep voice. They lend an almost soulful edge to her performances.

Royalle's new show Stories by Starlight sees her hit the festival scene hard in 2012 - kicking off at Melbourne's Midsummer Festival (18 - 21 January at the 1000 Bend Gallery) and the Adelaide Fringe Festival (1-4 March 2012, 9pm Queens Theatre).

Those lucky enough to see her pop-up preview at a fittingly illegal venue in Sydney in 2011 - says the show packs serious poetry punch.

Whether she is singing the plaintive morna (the Cape Verdean variation of the blues) or an exuberant batuco, Souza is always convincing owing to her swingy jazz sense of timing and her virtuoso voice full of nuances from the highest to the lowest notes she sings. Singing in her ancestors' Creole language and mixing traditional African and Cape Verde rhythms with contemporary jazz influences she creates a unique sound all of her own. In the last 3 years she has build an amazing reputation touring all over the world and collecting outstading reviews from both her live performances and CDs.

THISPOPBABY and Theatre Works present

The Year of Magical Wanking

Written and performed by Neil Watkins

"THISISPOPBABY are not so much cutting edge, as creators of a whole new edge in itself." - The Sunday Tribune

Neil Watkins has wanked more than is healthy...allegedly. One of Ireland's most exciting artists and incendiary performers; Neil is a force of nature, a maverick, a 33-year old homosexual with a Jesus complex. On orders from heaven, this is Neil's journey through the wilderness of queerness; from Catholic Ireland to the cruising bars of the world, from suburban Head Shops to Native American ceremonies.

Named as Queer Notions 2010 Festival Highlight by The Irish Times, and with a critically acclaimed sold-out season in the Dublin Fringe Festival, this is a brave and heartbreaking exploration of porn addiction, destructive sexual behaviour, Catholic guilt and family heartbreak. Written in hypnotic verse; it is both a profound personal journey and a furious state of the nation address.

Aren't you tired of being positive? Theatre Works and Ash Flanders present

Negative Energy Inc.

Aren't you tired of being positive?

If you're not angry, you're not paying attention. Angry homosexualist Ash Flanders takes no prisoners in this petty, unwarranted attack on the modern world. Accompanied by pianist and actual 'talent' Dave Barclay, Ash will speak, sing and mince in a desperate attempt to prove life is an exhausting and thankless task. Think Jean-Paul Satre, with a 30-inch waist...and a Cher wig.

"Ash Flanders doesn't miss a beat" - The Herald Sun
