Welcome to Adelaide ArtBeat! It is a new online arts blog, edited by strong arts supporters, Rubina Carlson and Noriko Wynn. Rubina and Noriko, along with guest bloggers, will be kicking off this blog with shows on during the 2011 Adelaide Fringe season.
Rubina Carlson has written for a number of arts blogs previously, including Express Media’s Buzzcuts, Fringe Benefits and Kryztoff: RAW. Her favourite forms of performance art are cabaret, theatre, jazz and comedy. She also likes heading out to galleries, grabbing a bite to eat or bit to drink before a show and caffeinated long blacks.
Rubina’s Not-So-Secret-Secret: She’s got a very, very soft spot for versatile West End superstar, John Barrowman.
Noriko Wynn has not written for a number of arts blogs, but has attended a lot of arts events. Having spent her childhood in theatres, galleries and restaurants with her artist for a mother and a music/theatre/food/art/travel loving father she enjoys nearly anything as long as it’s not liquorice flavoured. Anything includes theatre, world music, blues and roots, indie pop, installation art, surrealism, expressionism, modern dance, classical dance and all the rest in between.

If you’re still looking for Adelaide Cabaret Fringe reviews, I’ve been a theatre audience member and an actor for a number of years and would love to get back to reviewing. I can send you samples of my writing, if you’re interested.
Cheers,
Hey Amie! Thanks for offering to come on board, I will be in touch via email directly.
Our motto here is, the more the merrier! 
I would love one of your reviewers who enjoys abstract sketch comedy to get along to one of Gravity Boots show. I caught last Saturdays show at the Colonel Light and I believe they performed at last year’s Fringe as well. I have not seen anything as clever and hilarious since Monty Pyhton and I am a huge Python fan. They are Adelaide lads. Worth a look, they are brilliant
Thanks for the hot tip Leonie, we’ll see what we can do!
