PJ Harvey and John Parish
A Woman A Man Walked By
This is the second album co-written and jointly
performed by PJ Harvey and John Parish, and comes over
12 years after 1996's Dance Hall At Louse Point. Some of
it is quiet, considered and refl ective; at other moments, it
verges on the deranged. By turns, it is mischievous,
deadly serious, elegant and poetic, and possessed of a
brutal power. It includes Black Hearted Love, the album's
lead-off single is a gloriously straight-ahead rock song.

Sydney Dance Company's 360o
C
reated in 2008 for Sydney Dance Company,
360° will be
staged at Queensland Performing Arts Centre's
(QPAC)
Playhouse this month. This brilliant new

energetic,
unyielding style together with Sydney Dance
Company's new
line-up of dancers and one of Australia's
leading creative de-
signers Tony Assness, with lighting design
by Hugh Taranto.
Bonachela's powerful dance work 360°
created a fi restorm of
interest when it premiered in Sydney
last year. Praised for
its beauty and innovation, as well as the
energy and skills of
the dancers, it introduced Bonachela to
Australian dance audi-
ences for the fi rst time.
