Banquet of Secrets – A new musical by Paul Grabowsky and Steve Vizard
In Banquet of Secrets, four old friends gather at their favourite restaurant for their annual dinner. During the course of their elaborate meal, one of them asks “Is it possible friends as old as we, might have secrets hidden from each other, from the world?”.
They each agree to share their deepest secret over the course of the meal. What transpires is a funny and bittersweet examination of love, friendship, loss, betrayal, joy and the well-established link between good food and ...
Homunculi Exhibition By Zoe Porter
This exhibition will include drawing, video, installation, sculpture and live performance that focus upon depictions of various hybrid forms. These works present a kind of personal mythology that feature imaginary forms and environments that sit somewhere between the animal, human, plant and non-human realms as well as drawing on the everyday and the subconscious.
This exhibition will be made in collaboration with Ali Cameron (video), Olivia Porter (video/performance) and Ben Ely ...
Dawn French 30 Million Minutes Tour
Thirty Million Minutes consists of various delights and riches, with the odd irksome tribulation thrown in, as Dawn takes audiences through the various lessons life has taught her, and the things she knows for sure.
With a sharp eye for comic detail and a wicked ear for the absurdities of life, Dawn French of Cornwall shares how she has misguidedly spent her whole life vigorously attempting to be a fully functioning female human.
Her extraordinary lack of willpower, combined with an ...
The Temper Trap Australian Tour
Rumour has it the shows will give Aussie audiences their first taste of the ARIA Award winning band’s highly anticipated third album, expected to drop in the not too distant future.
It’s been three long years since The Temper Trap last undertook a headline tour of Australia and four years since the release of their ARIA #1 self titled Platinum sophomore album.

Knee Deep at JWCOCA
Now in its 4th wildly successful year, four performers explore the boundaries of strength and fragility. Bodies are pushed and pulled, weighed and tested, unlikely bonds are forged and acts of intimacy cohabit space with thrilling physical feats.
The Casus artists bring a raw emotional edge and honesty to the stage revealing the strong connection of the quartet throughout the journey. Delicacy does not necessarily equate to fragility, although it is often a fine line the performers ...
AusAsia at Metro Arts
In a one-night only Brisbane return season patrons can dine with strangers in Jamie Lewis’ immersive performance on love, loss and migration. Following a popular Melbourne season and sold-out Brisbane Festival season last year, Saltwater returns home to Metro Arts where the work was first created.

José González 2016 Australian Tour
Conceived as the third part of an acoustic trilogy complementing 2006’s ‘Veneer’ and 2007’s ‘In Our Nature’, the album is almost entirely self-produced, becoming as González sees it, his “zoomed-out eye on humanity on a small, pale blue dot in a cold, sparse and unfriendly space”.
Mastering the rare craft of spellbinding audiences armed only with his classical guitar and gentle melodies, José González will deliver solo performances imbued with his daringly understated ...
Laneway Festival 2016
The 2016 line-up is a heady mix of left-field electronica, shambolic punk, intelligent pop and boundary-pushing hip-hop.

Travelling across three countries and seven cities to perform at some of the best live music settings around, the following artists will hit Singapo...
