Read moreI found this piece dangerously simplisitc, intellectually unstructured and wilfully ahistorical in its exploration of the issues raised. The deck is immediately stacked by the fact that DV8 explores these questions through some of the most mediatised conflicts surrounding multi-culturalism of the past twenty years. As a result the performance does little to cut through the standard hyperbolic treatment of the issue. If anything, it caters to an easy sense of outrage that has become a rather standard response to these issues within western Europe. For all its emphasis on the documentarian, there were important voices and perspectives missing here as well as voices that were not explored with equal nuance as those who DV8 seeks to heroicize for daring to challenge multiculturalism. In a sense the besieged MP or feminist Muslim activist are quite easy for an audience of contemporary dance to understand. More difficult would have been some exploration of the appeal - admittedly problematic -- that radical Islam might offer to first-generation, Muslim youth who face difficulties in acculturation due to the racism and xenophobia of their home countries as much as for any community's willful isolationism. As well, in jumping all over the globe for its examples, the piece walks a dangerously thin line of equating radical Islamism with Islam itself, rather than as a historical, twentieth-century phenomenon related -- in part -- to European and US imperialism. If one bases a piece on a call to dialogue as a universal value, more effort needs to be extended in contextualizing where this problem - perhaps the most pressing cultural issue facing Europe and "the West" today -- came from in the first place. As well, the responses to Islam or Islamism of figures like Wilders or van Gogh -- as well as those of the growing political movements that voice their same positions -- are far more complicated and potentialy intolerant a phenomena than the simple call to dialogue that they are presented as in this performance. Finally, the responsibility of an artist, social thinker or documentarian is to do something more than simply take people at their word. It is to investigate, reflect and digest those words in order to offer something that opens up to complexity, history, and ambiguity. What I got with this piece was the same well-rehearsed, entrenched positions based on a desire for simple absolutes. This played easily to the sentiments of a contemporary dance audience; an audience who would leave the theater without being challendged to think about their own biases in any discussion of these exceedingly complicated issues.

Reunited with his mum Sandra and brothers Glenn and Stevie, he’s ready to reclaim his life. But things have changed while Brett’s been inside. Girlfriend Michelle may have moved on, Glenn’s moved out and Stevie’s about to be a dad.
As Brett’s disruptive force takes hold, tensions flare and Brett embarks on a drink-fuelled rampage, sweeping his brothers along with him – with terrifying consequences.
Twenty-one years ago, audiences were lining the streets to see the original Griffin production of The Boys. Since then, it’s become a classic of the Australian stage and screen, winning along its way an AWGIE and four AFI Awards.
Following the success of his sold out production of Speaking in Tongues, Artistic Director Sam Strong re-imagines another Griffin classic for a new generation and Sydney Festival.
A powerful, dangerous, visceral descent into the darker parts of our city and our selves.

Midsummer
(a play with songs)
By David Greig and Gordon McIntyre
It’s midsummer in Edinburgh. And, of course, it’s raining.
Helena, a divorce lawyer, and Bob, a petty criminal, were strangers until only a few hours ago. Now they stumble to Helena’s apartment where they share a drunken but surprisingly enjoyable one night stand. Then they say goodbye. After all, these two romantic failures agree that ‘love is just another word for need’.
The Berocca has yet to kick in when chance reunites the two and, through the hangover haze, they make the wildly impulsive decision to spend the 25 grand of hot cash that Bob is en route to deliver to a low-level gangster.
So begins the legendary lost weekend; a joyous 24-hour spending spree that sends Bob and Helena spinning through the soggy city. As they roam the familiar streets the unlikely pair discovers that even the most committed solitaries have the potential to change direction.
A hit at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival, this romantic comedy with songs was created for the Traverse Theatre by playwright David Greig and Gordon McIntyre of indie folk-rock group Ballboy.
With more than a dollop of Scottish toughness, Midsummer (a play with songs) is an ocean away from the shimmering Hollywood rom-coms that have skewed Helena’s ideas about love. These characters are real and watching them break the shackles of everyday life with a reckless act of rebellion is both liberating and uplifting.

Pygmalion
By George Bernard Shaw
In one of the great transformative tales of all time, a feral young flower seller glimpses an opportunity to elevate herself in society and boldly snatches at it, naïve to the potential cost of doing so.
It’s a decision that sees the now iconic character Eliza Doolittle transported into the aristocratic world of one Professor Henry Higgins, where she becomes the subject of a wager between the phonetics expert and his friend Colonel Pickering. Higgins bets that within six months he can turn the wild, cockney Eliza into a lady so refined she could pass for a duchess. It’s a matter of professional pride and intellectual curiosity for Higgins. For Eliza it is a matter of infinitely more complexity.
Taking its name from the Greek myth about the sculptor who fell in love with his statue, George Bernard Shaw’s enduringly popular play Pygmalion has in turn inspired interpretations as diverse as My Fair Lady, Educating Rita and the eighties’ Hollywood flick Pretty Woman. Shaw’s story is one of rags to relative riches but his Eliza is no Cinderella and Higgins is certainly no Prince Charming. In Peter Evans’ new production Andrea Demetriades will play the original feisty flower-girl.

One of Australia’s leading contemporary dance companies is the Sydney Dance Company... Read moreOne of Australia’s leading contemporary dance companies is the Sydney Dance Company. They are being lead under the Artistic Direction of Rafael Bonachela. The Sydney Dance Company has been presenting in Sydney, all over Australia and even internationally.
Sydney Dance Company began in 1969 founded by dancer Suzanne Musitz. In the early 1970s, the company was known as The Dance Company (NSW) and received government funding annually as its reputation and public support grew. The company changed its name to Sydney Dance Company in 1979 spearheaded by Graeme Murphy, the Artistic Director and Janet Vernon, the Associate Director.
In 2009 the Sydney Dance Company gave birth to a new era in Australian contemporary dance when Rafael Bonachela was appointed as its Artistic Director. Rafael began as a guest choreographer at the Sydney Dance Company in 2008 with 360° and since then has premiered others like 2009’s We Unfold, 2010’s6 Breaths and 2011’s LANDforms.
A statement of Art Director Rafael Bonachela at the Sydney Morning Herald said, “I will create a group of dancers who will be unique. A group who will inspire choreographers and make them want to work with us. It’s about blossoming and opening up … rebirth.”
Sydney Dance Company’s headquarters are located where other arts companies like Carnivale, Bangarra Dance Theatre, ATYP and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs are located, at The Wharf, Pier 4, at Walsh Bay. Sydney Dance Company is being supported by the Australia Council, the Ministry for the Arts of the New South Wales Government. It is also supported by sponsors, other company supporters and its partners. Collapse

Read moreOf all the buildings in Australia, one would be expected to know the Sydney Opera House; one of the Australia’s most popular and most photographed structure equivalent to that of the Eiffel Tower or the Empire State Building. It is the main structure which represents the country like the pyramids of Egypt or the Colosseum in Rome though it has been open on 1973.
The Sydney Opera House has a dramatic, majestic, and unforgettable view either seen on air or through a ferry. The Sydney Opera House has views of the harbour’s blue waters and the Sydney Harbour Bridge on its horizon.
This well-known icon was designed by Jorn Utzon, a popular Danish architect. The Sydney Opera House’s roof design is reminiscent of a ship at full sail. The NSW Government started an appeal fund in the late 1950s to support the Sydney Opera House construction so they had a contest for people to send designs. The design made by Utzon was chosen but during that era, engineering wasn’t as good as it is now. It was just beyond their capabilities that time that it took two years for Utzon to rework the design.
The problem on the unique design of the sails on the roof was finally solved in 1961. The project however went through cost blow-outs that the NSW Government almost stopped the construction. In 1966, Utzon resigned from the project due to some controversies, criticism and a change of government. The Opera House was then completed by Peter Hall, Lionel Todd, David Littlemore and Ted Farmer, an NSW Government Architect and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973.
In June 2007, the Sydney Opera House was included in the World Heritage List. UNESCO said, “Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century. It represents multiple strands of creativity, both in architectural form and structural design, a great urban sculpture carefully set in a remarkable waterscape and a world famous iconic building.” Collapse

Read moreIn Sydney, some Chinese contemporary 21st-century artworks are showcased in a private museum called The White Rabbit Gallery. A knitting factory was renovated and renewed to be the site of the gallery in Chippendale which launched in August 2009. It is the only public art space in Sydney which is privately funded and one of the handfuls which doesn’t charge for admission in Sydney.
Couples Kerr and Judith Neilson established a nonprofitmaking organization which they called the Neilson Foundation and the gallery was one of its programs.
