 series of events that transports viewers into a hallucinogenic repetition of encounters which is too short to grasp.
This work explores obsession and distraction through the combination of repetition and flash imagery aimed toward the attention span of the current generation, mocking the socio-technological trend of using apps such as Vine, Instagram and Facebook.

It has a range of up to 4 miles so even if you went on a small family hike, your child would be able to follow along the way and tell you everything that they see.That was the message from the leader of a provincial government awash in the sewage of scandal.  Unless you're one of those higher-priced types. Here's even more. Just don't call me at home.
I didn't see Campbell's speech. I've read it several times. It is no more or less than the condescending offer of a "John" attempting to buy cover for actions he didn't expect to be discovered. The reaction to a direct threat of exposure.
While we're all infuriated with the way the HST was simply foisted on us, not only without warning, but after being assured that it wasn't going to happen, Campbell's little offer of a few bucks to keep our fingers off the phone buttons is a blatant insult. He's trying to buy his survival.
The BC Rail scandal won't go away. As one newspaper put it, the trial which lasted longer than the 2nd World War was a disgrace. There is distinct stench of corruption which extends much further than the two convicted criminals in the BC Rail case. From the beginning, there has been government interference, including that of Campbell and his cabinet, in an attempt to obstruct and camouflage. Given the energy politicians expended to cover things up any reasonable person would speculate that Campbell and his closest caporegimes had something very dirty to hide. And what's worse, after seven years, 18 million bucks and suggestions of a buy off, one of the fall guys can't even live with the kiss he was given as a sentence.
But that speech.
Campbell trotted out his deprived childhood. See, I was a poor kid, so I know what it's like. Except that Campbell doesn't know. His mother shielded him from that, and a 21st Century single mother is only too happy to point that out. Not to mention that if, when Campbell was a kid, there had a been a premier and a government like that which Campbell runs today, it would have been working furiously to eliminate her taxpayer funded position and reduce her to a near-minimum-wage job.
If anything says "desperation" however, it is the announcement itself. The premier of a province announces a something usually left to the finance minister at budget time. That would be February 2011. So, five months before his finance minister can produce the annual economic plan for government, the premier takes money from the chest and offers it up... if you'll just keep quiet about.... everything. Please don't ruin my life by phoning my house.
It was the concluding statement, however, which sealed it. Campbell is scrambling for one reason and he made it clear as he faded to black. When he said he had "learned a lot" and described the power of British Columbians working together and and focusing on an objective, he didn't mention that the initiative campaign to repeal the HST was the ultimate demonstration of that resolute power. No, he said it was the 2010 winter Olympics.
He doesn't want you to phone his house. If you do, you'll upset the legacy he thinks he's built for himself. He wants to be remembered as the premier who brought the Olympic games to BC; not the one who was surrounded by corruption scandals, angry grass roots initiative campaigns and voter-led recall rebellions.
Call him. And rip his chosen legacy to shreds. Because Campbell clearly doesn't care about you, about the economy of the province or grade 4 students. He cares only about his red-mittened self.
I think what Campbell fears most at this point is his caucus. He's become a huge drag on the party and could leave a lot of MLA's unelectable. I expect he has to get his numbers up and very quickly or it'll be Gordo walking the plank. I find it hard to believe the cash offer is going to work but, who knows, this is British Columbia.
to his title. Surely he cant believe that the people of BC have any respect for him.
D'Alton, he's skated on every single thing so far by appearing on TV and/or bribing us with our own money.
He's got very good reason to think it'll work again this time.
And the sad part is, with the media playing him up and blowing the people off, it very well might work again.
I fear Dana may be right. Campbell is a wily old hustler and inveterate fixer that he may see this as just another storm, albeit one that has to be weathered very carefully.Shards of light and dark through the haze of climate change.

med at Perth’s intimate Blue Room Theatre, Watch and Act takes us on a meandering journey through McAllister’s thoughts, fears and fantasies. The audience follows her musings about a dream road trip through the Great Southern region of Western Australia. She imagines driving to Albany in an electric car, picking up Jacinda Ardern, Nigella Lawson, Julia Roberts and author of the Paris Agreement, Christiana Figueres. As McAllister daydreams about what she would discuss with these women and imagines the exact shade of their lipstick, a slow, romantic montage of their faces is projected behind her.
The mood changes dramatically, though, as the performance is interspersed with actual emergency broadcasts that McAllister delivered during the Wooroloo bushfires that ravaged her childhood home, Denmark, earlier this year. The performance’s title is taken from McAllister’s warnings to those faced with the destructive reality of the fires. Watch and Act deals with the impending reality of climate change’s catastrophic impact. Throughout the performance, it is impossible to ignore the urgent need to take action.
The theme of climate change is woven through the entirety of Watch and Act, serving as a reminder that every day, in the back of our minds, we should remember that climate change is an alarming and rapidly approaching danger. McAllister ties this very real and present fear in with a discussion of her OCD symptoms. She parallels her attempts to cope with demands on her mental health with an urgent plea to the audience to take the climate crisis personally and do whatever we can to alleviate our individual role in climate change.
Watch and Act is beautifully delivered, with passion and heart. Despite what may seem like quite heavy subject matter, McAllister successfully maintains an optimistic and upbeat atmosphere. The performance also uses sound, lighting and set design to great effect. McAllister’s imaginary discussions with Nigella, Julia, Jacinda and Christiana are voiced with soundbites from the women themselves. Watch and Act is predominantly performed against a projection of Denmark Karri trees on a stage scattered with sticks and leaves brought all the way from Albany. Smoke hangs hazy in the air, a stark reminder that bushfire season is almost upon us again.
Throughout Watch and Act, Katie McAllister adeptly balances light and dark in a heartfelt and genuine performance. She ultimately leaves her audience with the tools they need to tackle the climate crisis: hope, and a recipe for Nigella Lawson’s (meat-free) sweet potato mac and cheese.
Watch and Act ran from 28 September to 16 October 2021.
