Flamenco sin Fronteras | Paco Pena Flamenco Dance Company

One of the most joyous elements in this show is the way it captures the interaction amongst and between the artists; the dancers and musicians, but also the men and women.

Short & Sweet Cabaret & The Best (And Worst) Of Queenie Van De Zandt

It's a chilly Saturday night in Melbourne, so what else is there to do but head to Emerald Hill and hang out at the South Melbourne Town Hall and surrounds. Doesn't sound very appealing until you add that that's where the second Melbourne Cabaret Festival took place.

Hamlet is a play that offers much to an audience. It has all the ingredients of a good revenge tragedy: love, lust, anger, murder, ambition, and humour.
