Cate Blanchett’s Year of Magical Thinking

Mom-to-be Cate Blanchett stands by her man, director husband Andrew Upton at the premiere of the play The Year of Magical Thinking at the Sydney Theatre Company on Saturday in Sydney, Australia.

The 38-year-old Aussie actress wore a “60 Hours” pin, advocating the remarkable global event, Earth Hour 2008. It’s when towns “turn out” to lend their voice to the worldwide call for action on climate change. On March 29th, people everywhere turned off their lights–to make a statement, to help find new ways to reduce their impact on the environment, and to start a movement that ends with a solution to the common challenge we all face.

Cate the Great expects her third child in the next few weeks. Exciting!

Cate Blanchett Plants a Seed

A glowing Cate Blanchett and director husband Andrew Upton arrive for the opening night of the Kate Mulvany play, The Seed, at the Belvoir Street Theatre on Wednesday in Sydney, Australia.

Mulvany says, “The play was written as an exploration of my own family’s spectres of war, and as a response to military commitments being made by my country. The Seed is not so much a political piece however, as it is a deep exploration of family, loyalty and betrayal. It is a play for anyone who lives in a country currently at war, recovering from war, anyone who is part of a family. And in Australia, that’s pretty much all of us right now.”

Joining the Aussie couple: Australian director of theatre, film and opera Neil Armfield and British writer and film maker Ian Sinclair.

The 38-year-old actress expects her third child together this April.

Cate Blanchett: Ngapartji, Ngapartji

Mom-to-be Cate Blanchett positively glows alongside director husband Andrew Upton at the opening night of Ngapartji Ngapartji at the Belvoir St Theatre during the 2008 Sydney Festival on Friday in Sydney, Australia.

Ngapartji ngapartji is a main stage theatre production that explores themes of dispossession and displacement from country, home and family. The phrase translates as ‘I give you something, you give me something,’ a concept of reciprocity which governs relationships in Pitjantjatjara society and culture.

(Pitjantjatjara is a central desert language spoken by around 2,500 people across the north-western parts of South Australia and adjacent areas of W.A and N.T. Members of the Pitjantjatjara community will teach us their language - which is one of the world’s oldest - through online stories, songs, animations and short films.)

Cate the Great is due in April.

Cate Blacnhett’s Stylish Baby Bump

A glowing Cate Blanchett shows off her baby bump in an off-the-shoulder halter dress on Tuesday at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia.

“People often talk about pregnancy as if it’s an illness, don’t they, and the thing is I’m very fortunate to feel disgustingly well,” Cate said.

The mom-to-be was in town for an advanced screening of her new film, the Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There. The screening helped raise funds for the company, which is helping to launch a new ticketing initiative: 20 tickets for $20.

“[My husband Andrew Upton] and I really want to find a way to make cheaper tickets available across all productions and we’ll be looking for a corporate partner to be able to do that in 2008,” Blanchett told The Sunday Telegraph. “I think a lot more people would go if they felt they could afford to go so we’re kicking off the initiative (with Blackbird) and hoping to extend the 20 for $20 idea further. I think generally theatre is very expensive for a lot of people (so hopefully this will) make it available to the wider community and invite new audiences in.” (Blackbird is the controversial play Cate is directing for the STC that explores the taboo of child sex abuse.)

Cate the Great, 38, and her director husband Andrew Upton (pictured) are expecting their third child in April 2008.
