SUMMARY:And Still I Rise
DESCRIPTION:With a name taken from Maya Angelou’s famous book of poems\, this timely exhibition focuses on a culturally diverse group of women artists living in Australia\, many of whom are internationally recognised\, if less familiar at home. \nA celebration of women’s art practice\, the exhibition foregrounds materiality through a wide variety of media\, including textiles\, painting\, metalwork\, installation and video. \nConceptually challenging\, physically intricate and philosophically layered\, these personal and labour-intensive works prompt a reconsideration of contemporary Australian art.

SUMMARY:Phar Lap
DESCRIPTION:The musical that stops the nation \nNot just another absurdist\, electro-swing musical comedy about a thoroughbred racehorse\, Phar Lap is a rags-to-riches story with a big heart. If you’re thinking elaborate life-size puppetry and dazzling special effects\, you couldn’t be more wrong (we don’t have the budget). Suspend your disbelief as an actor swaps his horseshoes for tap shoes to play one of Australia’s most beloved icons. \nWhen an awkward\, gangly horse from New Zealand meets a hapless\, down-on-his-luck\, trainer\, they embark on a classic underdog story to win the Melbourne Cup\, and Australians’ hearts and minds. The road isn’t easy – there are gambling scandals\, double-crosses\, an attempted shooting\, and a career-threatening addiction to sugar. It’s high stakes\, high drama\, and highly historically accurate. \nPhar Lap boasts an irresistible electro-swing score\, with inspirations from Duke Ellington to Daft Punk. Brassy\, lively and retro – these songs will take you from the race course to the rave hall. \nPop the champagne\, harness up\, and get ready for a wild ride.

SUMMARY:Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940
DESCRIPTION:At the turn of the 20th century\, an unprecedented wave of women artists prevailed against social constraints and left Australia to pursue international professional careers. This is the first major exhibition to focus on the vital role of these Australian women in the emergence of international modernism. \nFeaturing celebrated and rediscovered paintings\, prints\, drawings\, sculpture and ceramics\, Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 reclaims the place of these pivotal Australian women artists\, recognising their contribution to the development of European art. They brought new ideas back to Australia and played an integral\, often unrecognised role in modernising our nation. \nWith more than 200 works\, Dangerously Modern expands our understanding of modern art movements\, including realism\, impressionism\, post-impressionism\, cubism and abstraction.  The works in this show challenge preexisting notions of ambition and success\, and explore colour\, light\, form and movement.

SUMMARY:Mike Hewson: The Key’s Under the Mat
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s most dramatic exhibition space is completely transformed\, as artist Mike Hewson brings his unique and boundary-testing brand of social sculpture to the Nelson Packer Tank. \nRenowned for award-winning public projects that are at once artworks\, play areas\, and places to be\, Hewson is reimagining the Tank as a combined park\, playground\, construction site\, and commons – an anarchic and generous sculptural neighbourhood where visitors can meet\, dwell\, play\, make\, perform\, explore and more. \nDeveloped in the artist’s dynamic Sydney workshop and constructed from thousands of salvaged objects and materials\, Hewson’s project is an experiment in participation\, a spirited act of reclamation and regeneration\, a radical rework of the legacies of modern sculpture\, and a provocation about what a truly welcoming art museum might look like. \nFor Hewson\, whose sculptural practice was catalysed by the experience of the Christchurch earthquakes\, the artist is a host who welcomes guests to use the artwork as their own – ‘the key’s under the mat\, make yourself at home’.

SUMMARY:Meow Meow's The Red Shoes
DESCRIPTION:Dance we will and dance we must. \nFrom a chorus of hairy fawns to singing swans and showgirl stars\, experience an unforgettable\, frenetic song-and-dance into meaning. A musical celebration that will shock you out of stagnancy and into ecstatic oblivion from “the queen of chanson” (Berliner Zeitung) with “devilish funny bones and heavenly vocal chords” (Evening Standard UK)\, Meow Meow. \nHaving wowed New York’s Carnegie Hall\, the world-renowned creator behind Meow Meow’s Little Match Girl and Meow Meow’s Little Mermaid now urgently remedies The Red Shoes. This fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen brutally punished its covetous protagonist with an ever-dancing curse that propelled her far from heaven’s gates. Meow Meow asks: what if she could never start dancing at all? Can we save her? Can we save the world?! \nLeave in love with life again. \nRemember why you wanted to dance in the first place.

SUMMARY:Bright Star
DESCRIPTION:“The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore…”\nThe NSW premiere of the ingenious and inspiring musical by the superb Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. Drawn from a true story and featuring a Tony-nominated score\, Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ‘40s. \nWhen literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II\, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection\, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past\, and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. \nWith stunning melodies\, gorgeous actor-centric theatricality and powerfully moving characters\, the story is an evocative tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting journey\, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.
