When she was elevated to the position of principal dancer with Queensland Ballet three years ago, Neneka Yoshida bought herself a present. A pair of Chanel earrings. Which seems entirely appropriate and even more so now she is about to take the stage dancing the role of Coco Chanel. Yoshida will star in the much-anticipated ballet Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon, which comes to the Playhouse at QPAC from October 4.

X-rated fairy tales – it sounds like an oxymoron until you experience Shake & Stir Theatre Co’s Grimm, now playing at QPAC during the Brisbane Festival. This outrageously original mash-up of the German Brothers Grimm’s stories and characters pushes the limits with pornographic innuendo (there are two references to “golden showers”), hard-core swearing and unsettling depictions of violence.

“I have tried to write a version of this story for many years but was never quite able to finish. A solitary figure, unable to connect, abandoned at the edge of the world.”In Shore Break, Chris Pitman has undoubtedly succeeded with this succinct monologue which crests and breaks like the intimidating waves it so vividly invokes. This richly metaphoric, but also forensically realistic, account of a young man’s diminishing destiny begins in a classroom.

The centre of gravity for the arts in Queensland might just be moving north, with Townsville its epicentre during the North Australian Festival of Arts, from September 26 to October 13. Launched in 2019 off the back of Townsville’s Commonwealth Games project Festival 2018, the North Australian Festival of Arts (NAFA) was a massive success in its first year, spurring Townsville City Council to make the festival a part of the city’s annual events calendar.

Where in the world are we? It’s a question you’ll ask yourself repeatedly while watching Volcano – the genre-defying theatrical experience that’s a marquee event of this year’s Brisbane Festival. This audacious-yet-intimate work from Luke Murphy’s Attic Projects (Ireland) unravels over four 45-minute parts, each separated by a short “pause”, or a longer interval. Murphy and Ali Goldsmith appear trapped in the space before us – a grimy, dated loungeroom enclosed in a plastic shell.

Clara Fable grew up in Brisbane but she left at the age of 20, with one reason being the heat. Which is a tad ironic considering her act which, shall we say, is smoking hot. Fable is a songstress and fire-breathing queen and one of the stars of Limbo – The Return, the latest iteration of one of production house Strut & Fret’s most popular shows, which previews from August 29 as part of Brisbane Festival.
