Podcast appearances and mentions of Alison Croggon

Professor James Curran delves into the discussions and real intentions behind the AUKUS agreement and Australia's plan to obtain nuclear submarines from the US and the UK. How exactly does the US perceive AUKUS? James reveals how the US' view differs greatly from the Australian government's view. With so many practical questions weighing around the delivery of the submarines and the cooperation of the US, UK, and Australian navies, does Australia have a Plan B? James Curran is International Editor of the AFR and Professor of Modern History at the University of Sydney. In our discussion he talks about his essay on AUKUS in the Australian Book Review, 'AUKUS in the Dock: Questions and challenges for the Albanese government.' Read his ABR essay here and his AFR columns here. Dr Bertrand Bourgeois speaks in-depth about the snap French elections for the National Assembly (lower house) called by President Emmanuel Macron. With the far-right National Rally or Rassemblement National (led by Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella) leading in the polls, closely followed by the far left coalition, the New Popular Front or Le Nouveau Front Populaire (comprising La France Insoumise or France Unbowed, the Greens, Communists, and Socialists), and Macron's centrist coalition Ensemble, including his Renaissance party coming in third – was it a miscalculated gamble to go early? Why is Jean-Luc Mélenchon such a polarising figure? What do the parties and coalitions stand for and why is the far-right becoming “mainstream” in France? Dr Bertrand Bourgeois is a Senior Lecturer in French Studies at the University of Melbourne.Alison Croggon, theatre critic and Arts Editor for The Saturday Paper talks with Amy about the state of Australian theatre. Alison writes in The Monthly that, “a generation of small independent theatremakers has been betrayed by government neglect and bad policy, creating a cultural crisis.” Read Alison's essay in The Monthly here.

Ep 37: A terrible secret - Alison Croggon is an award-winning novelist, poet, theatre writer, critic and editor living in Melbourne, Australia. Her latest book "Monsters" is a memoir exploring the impact of whiteness within a family when the uncovering of a colonialist heritage evokes anger and denial within an already fraught relationship. It's been described by the Guardian as "an unsparing cultural and self-reckoning". She joins me to talk white guilt, the legacy of empire and confronting one's colonialist past.

Award-winning novelist, poet, playwright, editor and critic Alison Croggon delves into her new book Monsters in a long-form interview with Mel. The book takes the form of both memoir and essay, confronting a painful conflict between sisters, and explores the ways in which colonial patriarchy has moulded our lives in a way that is inescapable.

Our bookshelf episodes are the ones where we get to let our hair down and talk about the things we're reading outside of our book clubs, the books that we get to pick and choose. So listen in as Kate is bewitched by the new Susanna Clarke novel Piranesi, charmed by Shirley Jackson's memoir of raising her children in Life Among the Savages, and has a guilty confession to make about To Calais in Ordinary Time by James Meek. In Laura's stack are supernatural thriller Himself by Jess Kidd, Midnight in Sicily by Peter Robb and The Observations by Jane Harris. Not to mention some guilty pleasure reading of Georgette Heyer and Alison Croggon's fantasy series of Pellinor novels. It's a packed episode, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

The perfect time then to revisit our interview with Emily's Walking Book Club to hear about the inherent pleasures of walking and talking about books. And picking up on the theme we have some handpicked recommendations for you, perfect for topping up your TBR pile.

But is she right? Or maybe like Kate you try to do both at the same time. Listen in to hear all about it. For more information about Emily's walking book club including what's coming up and how to book tickets, check out Emily's website emilyrhodeswriter.com Books mentioned by Emily: The True Deceiver by Tove Jansson, West with the Night by Beryl Markham, Westwood by Stella Gibbons, All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West, The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee, Someone at a Distance by Dorothy Whipple, Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig, and Brodeck's Report by Philippe Claudel.  Kate and Laura's recommendations: The Salt Path by Raynor Wynn, The Gift by Alison Croggon, The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen, The Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane, Flâneuse: Women Walk the City by Lauren Elkin, and The Well-Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart-Smith.

Ever got a bad review or unhelpful feedback? This month we think about the criticism that uncovers what makes a good review. Abdul Abdullah talks about when criticism tips into censorship and his latest work at Adelaide Biennial. Writer, critic and bookseller Jo Case discusses her process of writing reviews and their enduring influence. Alison Croggon tells us about her first critic, her experience of destructive feedback and how to develop objectivity towards your own work. Artistic Director of WA’s Black Swan State Theatre Clare Watson talks about the spectrum of criticism and how you can learn from feedback. Our theme music is ‘Chasing Waterfalls’ by Tim Shiel. Also featuring music by The Other Stars.

On today's episode we're off to Oz to talk about the importance of fantasy – as a genre, and as a way of imagining otherwise – with Melbournian writer, editor and activist Alison Croggon, whose new children's book The Threads of Magic has just been published in the UK, if you're after pacy escapism with a socialist feminist twist (who isn't)! To talk about what art can do – and so why and how it should be funded – we're also joined by UK-based arts and culture consultant (aka wizard) Rebekah Polding. -Produced by Dan FullerMusic by Antony Hurley

Alison Croggon, Susie Dee, Patricia Cornelius and Nicci Wilks at the Wheeler Centre Warning: This recording contains some repeated coarse language. Patricia Cornelius, Susie Dee and Nicci Wilks have been making radical and confronting theatre together for decades. ‘I've never believed the bullshit about how audiences don't like risk,' Cornelius has said. 'They actually really do. I've seen it.' Long-term collaborators, their work has more often found a home in innovative independent companies than in establishment state theatres. Yet their provocative Australian stories, dealing especially with issues of class and power, have brought them huge admiration among audiences and critics. Their admirers, it turns out, extend far beyond Australian shores. In 2019, Patricia Cornelius was named among the winners of the lucrative Windham-Campbell Prize, administered by Yale University. Two of her plays – SHIT and LOVE – were staged at the Venice Biennale in July that year. Those two productions were also shown in Melbourne at fortyfivedownstairs, directed by Dee and starring Wilks. Before they hit the road for Venice, we presented a conversation with the powerhouse trio at the Wheeler Centre. Join them as they speak with Alison Croggon about politics, performing arts and the power of making audiences squirm in their seats.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Richard discusses a program overview of Asia TOPA with Artistic Director Stephen Armstrong and Associate Director Kate Ben-Tovim. Armstrong says that one of the major themes running through the program is "how the past is a ballast for the present and the future."Richard discusses a new book The Australian Musical: From the Beginning with Co-author Peter Wyllie Johnston. This comprehensive history is a work of passion from two people who have a lifetime love of musical theatre. Wyllie Johnston started his first scrapbook on musical theatre at age eleven. His collection of information culminated in a PhD on the subject and now this book. He says his co-author, Peter Pinne, is equally as passionate. Richard talks to Alison Croggon about her new Platform Paper on arts criticism. Alison is an award-winning critic and creative and addresses the question 'why is arts criticism important?'.

"We try to pose ourselves impossible questions." - Emma Valente In the episode four of season four, on queer performance, Jana and Beth are joined by the extraordinary Emma Valente of the performance collective The Rabble. Self-described as "an on-going conversation between its Artistic Directors Kate Davis and Emma Valente about aesthetic, space, gender, theatre and representation", since 2006 The Rabble have created a small, but distinguished body of work. Their eleven performance pieces to date always put the female experience at its centre: sometimes through excavations of our iconographic unconscious, sometimes by shredding to bits canonical texts such as The Picture of Dorian Gray or Story of O. Today we talk about feminism, iconography, and queering our visual heritage. "Yes, I think [the canon] is male-dominated, without even getting into the content, and what gaze it sits through. The repetition of the male voice over and over again through history, and then legitimising it, is undoubted." - Emma Valente The Rabble are, without any exaggeration, one of the most important contemporary performance outfits in Australia. Their work has been a study of all sorts of feminine outside of the narrow confines of the Australian norm, becoming more radical in parallel with the increasingly uncompromising tone of Australian feminism. In 2012, a mere fortnight after Julia Gillard's by-now famous Parliament speech against Tony Abbott's misogyny, Alison Croggon saw The Rabble's Orlando and wrote: "It's not that a work like this makes everything better; it manifestly can't. It's not that it teaches you anything that you don't know; it doesn't. It's that it is something. An uninhibited howl of laughter. A scream of grief. A forthright act of unshamed beauty. Female desire in all its violence, perversity and monotony, its repetitive assault on the self, its redemption, its dolour, its breath-taking, liberating lust for life. Orlando is, most of all, a work of theatre: a performance that explodes, with the white-hot fission of its full meaning, into the present moment." Listen to Emma as she gives a huge shout-out to the feminist queer art of our times, from post and Zoe Coombs-Marr to Zoey Dawson and Rachel Perks. Discussed in this episode: queer as advertisement or queer as a political project, our visual commonplaces, violence against women as always true and inevitable, Rihanna and Rosie Batty, masculine and feminine ways of making art, having an ensemble, cages and liberation, Alison Croggon, the 'fuck it' moment in making art, the rise of the Melbourne indie scene, rolling pins, how pornography can be so, so boring, having a coffee with anyone who asks, Story of O, the importance of context in staging a provocative work, and how backing an artist means giving them three shots. "There's so many boundaries. If you look at the kind of work that is on the big stages, from what was happening five years ago, it's pretty similar. There has been slight shifts in acceptance of form, perhaps, and slight shifts in ideas of who can be at the centre of the work, what is interesting content, and there's been many many things contributing to that shift, but I think it has been slight. When the funding crisis happened, with Brandis, there was a shrinking of courage to try new things. And I think that people of colour, and women, and queer work, got pushed out to the edges again. They're being incorporated back in, but still treated as Other." - Emma Valente Enjoy and stay tuned: we have more exciting and stimulating conversations to come.

“There is a good side to not being crushed by culture. I think in Europe you're really aware of the centuries and centuries of Western culture and it has all been done. One of the beautiful things about Australian writing, culture and performance is this sense that that's not hanging over everybody. I think at its best there is a tremendous freedom in Australian performance, a huge intelligence and a kind of disrespect that's really healthy.” – Alison Croggon In episode two poet, novelist, critic and commentator Alison Croggon, joins hosts Jana Perkovic and Fleur Kilpatrick. We talk about the place of the review in art documentation and how one balances the responsibilities that the critic has to the artist, the audience and to history. “What there mustn't be is one singular discourse saying 'this is how it was'. That's what I've always felt most hostile towards,” says Alison. “(We are now) letting go of the fiction that I think happens less and less, that critics are the objective judges of whatever art happens around their feet and entering much more into the flux of the moment. The moment passes. It must pass. Because it is mortal. That is true of all art but it is why theatre and performance are so extraordinary and so beautiful.” Discussed in this episode: the mutual dependency of blogs and independent theatre, Robert Brustein, when reviewers are incorrect, Requiem for the 20th Century, internet trolls (all men!), and the cowardice of anonymity. "There was always some very brilliant work going on under the skin in Australia. In other places that work would get noticed, and in this country it just didn't. And I suppose I felt really strongly about that, because I saw so many artists who were kind of destroyed by that - that they simply might not have bothered." - Alison Croggon Enjoy and stay tuned: we have more exciting and intellectually rigorous conversations to come.
