Live Review: Shamir, GL

"It's all fun and high energy. Shamir does not disappoint."

Water Pushes Sand

"The work fuses experimental jazz with the rhythms and melodies of China's Sichuan province."

Barry Morgan's World Of Organs

"Perfect to take your grandma to."

Live Review: The Smith Street Band, Andrew Jackson Jihad, The Sidekicks, Flour

"Chris Cowburn gives an A+ demonstration on how to crowd-surf respectfully and responsibly (all the while playing a pink tambourine)."

The Birds Conference

Sheshgelani's intermixing of singing with Persian and English dialogue creates a work that is often weird yet engaging.

Stars Of Track And Field

A brave and honest exploration of family relationships and mental illness.

"The greatest strength of the show is how the performers encourage the participation of the audience."

"'Totem', despite its shortfalls, is an accessible work that leaves everyone entertained."
