Next week we'll proudly launch our brand new website, a home not only to informed and constructive reviewing but also to video, sound, music and other works for you to experience, whether on computer, tablet or phone, with each accompanied by a critical appreciation. As well, we're reinvigorating RealTime Traveller and RealTime TV, commissioning new video works for our Gallery and video essays about diverse art practices, highlighting video art by emerging artists in Critical Video, and digging into RealTime's treasurehouse of review for the revelatory Deep Archive. Next week's RealTime will take you straight to the new site. In the meantime, enjoy this edition in which the body is the vehicle for self-examination, historical reflection and new dance, and the subject of a visual artist's probing gaze.

ARTIST AT PLAY
Nola Farman and various personae have been "stealthily upping the neo-Fluxus quotient in the seaside suburb of Clovelly" with, among other things, Flight, an exhibition with a sense of the absurd, writes Keri Glastonbury.
THE SIMPSONS WILL SAVE US Mr Burns opens this week at Sydney's Belvoir, so we're re-running Ben Brooker's welcoming review of the Adelaide premiere of this incisively funny post-apocalypse American play.
