Creativity starves insanity
Part two of the night that nearly wasn't involved third row seats at The Studio with Chris Addison hosting his talk/lesson, Civilization.
Fast and rapid fire, there was a certain expectation on Addison's part with regard to the intelligence of the audience. Namely, something bearing a high school or even university level understanding of ancient society and the world. Nothing deep, but anything close to showing up the perception of a crowd in an extremely down state of attire for a venue such as that of the Sydney Opera House.
It was the start of things that would only improve as the relaxing atmosphere made for a smooth and warm rapport to envelope the night. His delivery on the evolution and building blocks of civilization fill the air in a humorous stance as revelations and reflections punctuate certain inanities with humanity.
Addison puts everyone at ease and their contributions to the show are all welcome. Within reason of course. A drunk woman at the back shows her ignorance on pretty much a lot of things that most well read Australians would know about. Natasha Ryan being one.
Wrapping up the night with a rant and outline for a new and better society, an urge to send back his "goodnight" with one of the same marks down the night as one great call in light of a Julian Easter.
