[ gameboy ], an innovative new dance theatre work by Amy Zhang, is a inimitable fusion of street and contemporary dance styles that thrusts its audience into a dynamic and surreal exploration of life’s challenges. Staged at the Metro Arts as part of the Dance24 festival, this piece boasts a unique blend of dance and performance art inspired by Japanese game shows, video games, and internet culture.

The downloaded program gives fair warning. ‘The production of dog explores sensitive content and mature themes around Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, depression, mental ill health, bodily harm, alcohol addiction, suicidal ideation, animal cruelty and grief.’ Add long sections of ‘full front nudity’ and off we go.

Seussical (The Musical) bursts off the pages of your favourite childhood book and onto the stage at the Hills Musical Theatre Company as they take on a rather famous Cat!

It’s like walking into a cartoon with giant sets recycled, lovingly painted, and recreated by the cast and community. It’s bright, vibrant, and fun. It’s everything you want a living, singing, dancing Seussical Musical to be.  

Millers Point Songbook celebrates the story of Millers Point through the many people who have made it their home. It grew from a Heritage NSW Community Grant awarded in 2021 to local resident Anne Warr for an “Argyle Place Interpretation Plan”. That plan included some funding for a “theatrical performance” and Joanna Weinberg was invited to write the music and lyrics for a performance which would include members of Choir Rocks, the local community choir. Weinberg’s research led to this amazing musical history of Millers Point and The Rocks.
