Staging cabaret with love

CRITICALLY-acclaimed cabaret performer Amy Bodossian is coming to Ballarat Trades Hall for one night only this Ballarat Winter Festival.

The Melbourne-based artist is bringing her solo show Love, Amy to town this Friday 19 July.

Bodossian has been performing cabaret for more-than 15 years and said to attend one of her shows is to step into a world of hilarity, heartwarming whimsy, wit, wackiness, irreverence and sensitivity.

Themes covered throughout Love, Amy – and explored through spoken word and song – include love and loss, living with obsessive compulsive disorder, growing older, the human spirit, and more.

Bodossian is known in the arts industry as an OCD ambassador and champion of art as a wellbeing practice.

She is the author of Wide Open, a book of original poetry and illustrations, has appeared in festivals across the country, and on television in ABC’s Spicks and Specks and Please Like Me.

As the 2017 Melbourne Spoken Word Convenor’s Choice Awardee, Bodossian is also a Green Room Award nominee. A former CNS Shakespeare company performer, Bodossian played the iconic roles of Helena, Ophelia, and the Nurse.

Bodossian has received rave reviews across the world, being described as “pure genius” in The Scotsman, “empowering” in Glam Adelaide, “authentic” in The Plus Ones, and “illuminating” in The Sunday Mail.

Love, Amy runs from 7.30 pm to 9pm at Ballarat Trades Hall, 24 Camp Street, Ballarat.
