A Radio Documentary about Disability and Sexuality
360 on ABC Radio National, Saturday December 12, 2 p.m.
Human beings thrive on touch, a cuddle, a back slap, a loving caress. Yet many disabled people are rarely touched in a loving way. John Blades is disabled but this hasn’t stopped him from exploring his own sexuality and being touched.
Join him on a journey through the uncharted waters of people with disabilities and sexuality. This radio documentary was made and devised by John, who has lived with multiple sclerosis for nearly 28 years. This subject has been avoided and ignored by society and the media.
As well as John’s story there are extensive interviews which he has done, with psychologist, Dr Gary Fulcher from the MS society NSW and Victoria, who is disabled himself. He gives a unique insight into the great importance of sexual expression for those with disabilities. Also, two sex workers working with people with disabilities as well as two disabled people who have used sex workers as an outlet for sexual expression.
Interviews and discussions are very open, honest and at times will be quite confronting listening. Spread throughout the program are fragments from John’s life with multiple sclerosis, despite having no movement below the shoulders John lives a very active life in music and the arts which we journey into through the course of the program.
It is filled with carefully chosen music, which is such a big part of John’s life.
Along with the radio documentary there will be extended interviews, lists of music used in the program and links to information about disability and sexuality on the HYPERLINK “http://www.abc.net.au/rn/360/” 360 website: abc.net.au/rn/360

There is an article on Sedition in The Wire Magazine, December edition.
“… the intimate space and acoustics make it the best room in Sydney for a variety of styles and provide a ground for cross-pollination.”
Hmm, let’s see shall we? Hope to see you there 
A very special and rare performance. It will be part of the opening of an exhibition by the Australian Art Brut maker Anthony Mannix.

From the Hyperstring Project 4
Jon Rose – solo tenor violin and interactive K-Bow
Since 1987 Jon Rose has pioneered the exploration of interactive electronics through a series of violin bow powered MIDI compositions.
Now utilising the latest in violin bow technology, surround sound, and media, he puts his virtuosic violin technique to the test in a new series of challenging interactive environments. Central to this performance is the use of the new fibre carbon K-bow fitted with accelerometers, an antenna and emitter that gives precise positional information, a force sensing resistor that measures bow hair pressure, a bow grip sensor, and bow gesture recognition software – all sent wirelessly via Bluetooth to computer.
PLEASE NOTE, VERY LIMITED PLACES AVAILABLE, AND ENTRY IS STRICTLY BY INVITATION ONLY !!
FOR INVITATION AND VENUE DETAILS, PLEASE EMAIL nshimmin AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
As with every Home Concert evening, the performance will be followed by an informal screening of a short experimental film. For this first event, Jem Cohen’s LOST BOOK FOUND (1996, 37 minutes) will be shown.

In November 2009 the ANAT’s Embracing Sound [ES] Program in partnership with Art Monthly Australia (AMA), will be hosting noted sound arts theorist Douglas Kahn for a national lecture tour to promote the November 2009 issue of AMA, which will also be guest edited by Kahn and entirely dedicated to the arts of sound.
SYDNEY: Thursday 19 November, 6.30 – 8.00pm
Lecture: Nature, Art and Communications
Since the mid-1960s, artists and musicians have begun setting up shop along parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, from natural radio and brainwaves, to the gamma of nuclear radiation. Even visible light. To account for this surge in artistic energies, it is necessary to go back to the 19th Century and rewrite the history of communications technologies in terms of nature.
