Liveworks
A crawling, sprawling tangle of contemporary pieces, bundled together into a four-day long festival extravaganza. There's plenty for punters to choose from, with over 20 artists and groups showcasing new experimental theatre, performance, live art, dance and installation. Freshly hatched from their incubation period, these works offer audiences an opportunity to be the first to experience some original and largely untested ideas. From a solo performance in a dressing room to an exploration of suspension in all manners of speaking, these artists and performers push the boundaries to create visually compelling, provocative works.
Overview
Liveworks is a crawling, sprawling tangle of contemporary pieces, bundled together into a four-day-long festival extravaganza. There's plenty for punters to choose from. Karen Therese will apply her particular brand of charismatic, confrontational and a-little-bit-crazy performance to Alistair White's 'Comfort Zone' theory. Brigid Jackson's Into/Out Of Me is a solo performance in a dressing room that explores the extent to which our bodies actually belong to us. In manola, Claudia Escobar pursues an "experimental visual journey", swinging between her heritage and popular perceptions of Colombia. And if you should feel the need for a brief moment of respite, don't visit the Clubhouse, where Cinemanic and I Can Draw You A Picture will be busily at work. While a day pass will keep you busy, I'd recommend the festival pass: for a mere $60, you can see as many performances as you can cram into the four days of the festival.
