UNTITLED: AN IMPROVISED MONOLOGUE EVERY NIGHT

In Untitled, Evangelos Arabatzis presents an improvised stand-up monologue every night, triggered by a single word. The aim is to create an environment for the subconscious to emerge and take off like a wild horse while the performer hangs on for dear life with the audience right there with him. No two shows will be the same.

When: Monday, 12- Saturday, 17 December, 8.30pm-9.30pm

Where: The Butterfly Club, 5 Carson Pl, Melbourne, VIC

KAIROS @ SYDNEY FESTIVAL

In ancient Greek, Kairos is “the right or opportune moment for doing, a moment that cannot be scheduled”. That moment is now for director Meryl Tankard AO, composer Elena Kats-Chernin AO and visual artist Régis Lansac OAM, who have created a vibrant new dance work responding to these uncertain and challenging times in early 2023. Commissioned and produced by FORM Dance Projects and created by three world-renowned Australian artists and long-time collaborators, with the next generation of dance makers, this Sydney Festival world premiere will encompass a vast lexicon of human experience and human movement: the dark and challenging; the ugly and beautiful; the humorous and joyful.

When: Thursday, 19- Saturday, 21 January 2023, 8pm

Where: Carriageworks – Bay 20, 245 Wilson Street, Eveleigh NSW
