corker magazine

About this site

Corker magazine is a quarterly print and digital pop-culture magazine made in Australia.

You'll love Corker if:
* You take pride in making sure your friends never forget that you liked Gotye before Ashton Kutcher "discovered" him.
*You're not offended by the occasional fuck, shit and c%&t.
*You like good writing, original photography, and crazy sex (not necessarily all at once or in that order).

If that sounds like you, hang around. Check out what's inspiring us on this here blog, and if you like paper, buy a print issue of Corker magazine, if you like trees, buy the iPad version.

The new issue is out on December 1, 2011.

We chatted to Calvin Hannaford from The Australian Ballet, before the opening night of Bodytorque.Muses, about inspiration. Here’s what he said. About losing inspiration… Calvin: When you do something you love so much, and maybe it feels like you’re not improving, just go back to that feeling you first had when you originally started. And remember why you’re doing it. I remember back to when I started dancing at the age of five and getting out on stage and that feeling of … I don’t know … just performing, really. CORKER: Try and explain that first feeling. Calvin: Just the excitement … I don’t know … It’s so hard to explain. Like [Calvin pauses and takes a deep breath] once you get off stage, there’s something running through your veins. You just feel on top of the world for hours and it takes a long time to come down. And that feeling … you’re always trying to get that back. CORKER: It sounds like a high. Calvin: Yeah, definitely.  It’s pretty awesome actually. It’s very addictive. CORKER: It’s better to be addicted to dancing rather than a narcotic [laughs]. Calvin: Exactly [laughs].
