Curious Works, Surry Hills
A weekly space to dance where you can dance like nobody's watching because nobody is. You don't have to worry about how you're doing it, what you're wearing or who you're with. Instead, you can concentrate on the pure joy of sound and movement.

In some parts of the world it's getting harder and harder to get children into the more interesting places. But take them along to this decidedly messy festival and they'll get stuck into compost bins, play with clay, meet roaming dinosaurs and manufacture heads and no one will bat an eyelid.

They'll have a best-of Theatresports (with Chaser members and cast from Thank God You're Here), a white-lit night market, open circus rehearsals and music. The festival has been running at Sydney University since 2003, starting as an experiment along the torn and sticky-taped graffiti tunnel and progressing down to a full-sized cultural event.

The everyday scenes in the statement accompanying Lance Richardson’s de MéXICO are almost as good a snapshot of Mexico as the exhibition itself. His photos come from right across the country — from Mexico City to Spanish colonial towns like Taxco and Guanajuato, from the ghostly and peyote-soaked Real de Catorce in the Mexican Desert, […]

Askill mixes time the way The Chemical Brothers mix sound. His videos pull out ordinary moments until they've stretched into the raw stuff of movement. Somehow, this renowned video-artist has condensed his stunning works into a book, launching this week accompanied by small screenings of his work.
