This performance is a striking fusion of western and Chinese musical traditions. Colorful Guizhou Troupe is a cultural and performing Arts industry group that promotes and cultivates Chinese cultural practices globally. On this occasion the Guizhou Chinese Orchestra has been combined with The Australia Orchestra (an emerging ensemble based in Sydney). This results in a highly dramatic and epic concert performance of traditional and contemporary Chinese music.

Love Stories was a warm, intimate devised production presented by The Blue Room Theatre and stop drop and roll in the cosy confines of The Blue Room’s Kaos Room.

Love Stories is a series of interconnected vignettes that explore the thousands of parallel sensory worlds that exist beyond our capability of hearing, and examines what we can learn by listening to and entering the various sensory worlds around us.

The Lightning Thief - The Percy Jackson Musical is a rock-infused stage adaptation of Rick Riordan’s bestselling novel The Lightning Thief, the first book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. The musical brings Greek mythology crashing into the modern world with humour, heart, and heroic adventure, tailored for both fans of the books and newcomers (like me).

At first sight, or as a lawyer might say ‘prima facie’, Sydney’s Carriageworks theatre is too big for a one-person play. Constructed in 2007 from the giant Eveleigh Railway Workshops, the theatre is vast, seating over 600, and you’re asking for trouble if you want to put on a play that features just the one woman. But that’s exactly what Carriageworks have done, inviting Western Australia’s Black Swan Theatre to bring their one-woman production of Prima Facie here. And it works.
