Preview: Close Company by RAW Moves

RAW Moves returns this October with yet another genre busting experimental dance performance. Collaborating with Australian, Adelaide-based artist Alison Currie, the premiere of Close Company will continue their 2018 theme of Competition, as the work examines the notion of co-dependency by dancers in and around the audience.

Review: The Taste of Water by Bound Theatre

A promising youth theatre performance following Bound Theatre’s year long hiatus.

Promisingly, after a year long hiatus, Bound Theatre has returned to the scene with their … Continue reading Review: The Taste of Water by Bound Theatre
