Article: Kylie Minogue wins second Grammy Award for Best Pop Dance Recording

 

Today, award-winning global superstar Kylie Minogue has won her second GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Dance Recording for ‘Padam Padam’ off Tension, her eighth #1 album in Australia.

This is one of three new GRAMMY categories announced by The Recording Academy this year. ‘Padam Padam’ – written by Ina Wroldsen and produced by Lostboy (Griff, Anne-Marie, Tiesto) – encapsulates everything you love about Kylie. From the euphoric vocals, to the ridiculously infectious chorus and the heart-thumping electronic drum beat. It’s an instant Kylie classic. The win follows her previous win for Best Dance Recording in 2004 for ‘Come Into My World’ and was her 6th GRAMMY nomination. It follows her ARIA win for Best Pop Release for ‘Padam Padam’. Kylie is also nominated for a BRIT Award for International Artist of the Year and in March, Kylie will take the stage at Billboard’s Women in Music to accept the prestigious Icon Award.

This year, Kylie took over the world with her viral pop anthem ‘Padam Padam’, which many proclaimed as the song of the summer, and released her acclaimed 16th studio album Tension, which Variety called “pop perfection” and Pitchfork said “Kylie’s music possesses an intense physicality; energizing in a way that bypasses the head and appeals directly to the heart and body”. The hit single has amassed over 225 million streams and over 500 million views across over 150k creations on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

In 2023, Kylie kicked off her highly anticipated Las Vegas Residency at Voltaire - The Venetian Resort’s new nightlife sensation. Blurring the lines between an intimate club, concert, and non-stop entertainment venue, Voltaire is ushering in a new destination nightlife scene with Kylie at the forefront in an exclusive US residency.

Kylie’s glittering career has seen her amass sales of over 80 million records worldwide, five billion streams and eight #1 albums in Australia. Her multiple awards include 18 ARIA Awards, three BRIT awards, two MTV Awards and now, two GRAMMY Awards.

Review: Freshblood Festival - Vena Cava

Written By Thor Morrison Upcoming creatives need a place to experiment, to prosper, to explore, and even to sometimes miss the mark. It is essential that spaces that allow this to happen exist, especially in a world obsessed with perfectionism. The Freshblood Festival is an annual event run by QUT Student Theatre Company Vena Cava, focused on young writers and performers, and it does just that. It provides a space for the new and upcoming creatives of Brisbane and surrounds to experiment, have fun, and create really exciting performances. Held at BackDock Arts in Fortitude Valley, and running over two consecutive weekends, it is a massive endeavour Vena Cava have given themselves. 14 independent shows, two play readings, and 8 music acts ensure that Freshblood has something for everyone to enjoy, and shows the variety and scale of the Festival itself. Drama Dispatch was able to attend most of the second weekend, seeing a total of seven shows and a play reading, and was greatly impresse...

‘PASHUN’ // TheatrePunk Co.

  What happens when masculine, feminine, and a touch of envy energy are amplified in modern society? You get ‘PASHUN’ by TheatrePunk Co.! ‘PASHUN’ is a comedic theatrical exploration of gender and relationships, infused with fantastic absurdist techniques. Written by Harrison Mills, it offers a unique night out that delves into the intersection of queer identity and the “straight minority.” Harrison Mills has skilfully interwoven absurdist techniques into the fabric of queer and heterosexual love, resulting in a profoundly thought-provoking experience. Throughout ‘PASHUN’, they masterfully employ stereotypes, drawing our attention to their nuances. From the hyper-masculine, reminiscent of an Andrew Tate figure, Sigma, to the unmistakable Starbucks-loving pink aficionado, Tiff, Mills has ingeniously crafted characters that evoke both love and disdain throughout the production. Under the direction of Joshua Price, the piece is minimalist but effective. The utilisation of packing boxe...

Review: Picnic at Hanging Rock - Javeenbah Theatre Company

Written by Mark Rickell “The infamous picnic has become a faux Australian history that has haunted the Australian psyche for almost fifty years.” - Hunter Wall, Director This is the backdrop on which the story takes place, not that of the period in history, but in the present. In the effect of this story and what it means to Australians. Children study the text in schools, the name, and the mystery, is synonymous with Australian literature.  “Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction, my readers must decide for themselves. As the fateful picnic took place in the year nineteen hundred, and all the characters who appear in this book are long since dead, it hardly seems important.” - Joan Lindsay, Author This adaptation of the text is extremely true to the original material, and serves as an excellent example of the power of theatre as a way of bringing stories to life. This adaptation, expertly staged at Javeenbah Theatre, is a triumph of storytelling. It is clear that dire...
