In Body of Work, Eke uses video cameras to create multiple repeating images of herself, looping segments of choreography upon themselves, creating an increasingly vaster whole with an intense focus on the shift from one moment to another.

Motion Picture by choreographer Lucy Guerin, is a film in dance, a dance to a film, a dance in response to a film.

Romance, betrayal, death and redemption, it has all the makings of a modern day soap opera and yet The Australian Ballet’s latest production of Giselle is a throwback to the Great Romantic Ballets of the 19th Century.

Not your typical romantic European ballet, The Red Dress brims with emotive dance, gentle grace and a large amount of humour.

Antony Hamilton and Alisdair MacIndoe made themselves a dance where they are not in control of what happens on the floor – instead the dance is made by them responding to rhythms made by small boxes tapping pencils.

After three decades of making music, Sinead O’Connor is still firing on all cylinders and seems to be reaching a new peak with her 10th album, creating some soul-feeding, full-bodied music that is a joy to experience.

Dirty Dancing the movie was a small-budget feature that struck a chord with audiences, churned out a hit song, (I've Had) The Time of My Life, and made Patrick Swayze an international sex-symbol. As a film though, it was average.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
