NightTime: Talent Quest
Nice guy competitions, Guinesss-world record attempts and the chance to pelt someone with tennis balls.
Overview
If the words “talent quest” conjure up traumatic year four memories of sashaying around the assembly hall singing 'Pretty Woman' dressed as Roy Orbison (and you’re a girl), fret not. NightTime, PSpace Social’s much-loved evening of always inventive, frequently wacky short performances, is back. This time you’re invited to Talent Quest, an event guaranteed to wipe away any lingering negative primary school emotions.
Taking the curatorial reins this year are Friends with Deficits (Amelia Wallin, Lisa Mumford and Maria White), who pose the question “what happens at a talent quest where NO-ONE wins or loses?” Proudly self-identifying as part of “the generation that brought you endless positive reinforcement”, the creative trio have enlisted an enticing range of acts, from stand-up routines to installation artists to karaoke duets. Also expect a smattering of too-often neglected entertainments, including but not limited to bush poetry, community dance and spoons (nope, that’s not a typo: spoons).
Talent Quest is part of Performance Space's PSpace Social season of multidisciplinary works taking place in Surry Hills and Darlinghurst, which also includes Micro Parks. For the full program, head to the Performance Space website.
