ABC s new arts show walks the line between high and low brow — and it works

Review: Art Works hosted by Namila Benson. Critically discussing art in the contemporary era is like walking across a minefield blindfold while juggling bowling balls and lugging an anvil. So, so many ways to go wrong. Too low-brow and you’re populist. Too hip and you’re elitist. Cleave to the moderate middle and you lose everything that makes art special (when it is special). Premiering last night, Art Works, hosted by Radio National long-time art show’s host Namila Benson, is ABC TV’s next best attempt to get the formula right. Previous approaches to arts programming include the marathon-like Sunday Arts and the metro-speedy The Mix.

Review: Blake Everett and Oliver Coleman defy the odds in Dig Their Own Graves

Review: Blake Everett and Oliver Coleman defy the odds in ‘Dig Their Own Graves’ Words by August Billy Oliver Coleman’s 2019 Fringe Festival show, Poolside, was a revelation, introducing the young Melbourne comedian as a gifted performer who could easily switch from elaborate sketches to tongue-in-cheek stand-up. Coleman also displayed an easy, offhand penchant for crowd work and wasn’t afraid to stir up awkward energy. All of these ingredients are transferred into Dig Their Own Graves, a work of narrative sketch comedy that sees Coleman teaming up with fellow Melbourne comic and actor Blake Everett as part of this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
