Since its launch in 2001, the biennial Ten Days On The Island has aimed to be a festival for the whole of Tasmania, bringing in international artists and putting local artists on the world stage.
This year, as in 2019, the festival’s program and the titular “ten days” are spread across three weekends. With travel bans and conservative limits on theatre capacities, the program is thinner than usual, making the stretch across the state an even greater challenge.
Artistic director Lindy Hume proposes a Romantic, rather than Gothic Tasmania, placing Jess Bonde’s photographic re-imagining of Caspar David Friedrich’s 1818 oil painting The Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog as the festival’s central image.

The National Association of Social Workers, Bayelsa chapter, has lamented that the non-passage of the Social Works Bill by the National Assembly was affecting the practice of the profession in the country.
They noted that the if the bill which has been at the national assembly for some time now has been passed, it would have given social works practice the legal backing and empowerment to tackle the myriad of societal ills bedeviling the nation.

Jing Fong, Manhattan’s largest Chinese restaurant, is dead. When I visited on March 2, the two grand escalators ascending to the third-floor banquet hall were frozen. The restaurant could once seat a thousand people upon red carpet, beneath golden dragons and resplendent chandeliers. But last week only two of its six heaters were working, and next to the dining room’s entrance were just a handful of patrons eating out of takeout containers. After nearly three decades on Elizabeth Street, Jing Fong limped through its final days its dining room closing for good on March 7.
