Brazil Meets Cuba!

Event Date: 28/02/2014, 09:00 pm

Non-Stop Carnival night of music
There is only a few ways to really describe what happens in our famous recipe "Brazil meets Cuba"

One way to describe it is "non-stop"!
As the night kicks off with an explosive set at
9pm
by DJ Dwight chocolate Escobar.
Latin Connoisseurs have witnessed and supported this renowned dj loyally
over the last 16 years, with a following of social media fans and salsa lovers alike theres no wonder why festivals like Splendour in the grass have booked Dwight to perform 5 years running.
With Dwight's set expect a repertoire specialising in high-end salsa that meets raw-samba beats somewhere in the amazon. A True depiction and study of both rhythms and cultures, not a clash but a sweaty harmony of BOOM!

10 pm
Gonzalo Porta & Sydney Salsa All Stars
(having won many Latin awards and 9 Gold Albums) explore the depths & tones of Cubas' Musical Genius, the only way it can be explored, through live stage-roaring songs.

The Basements underground locale is metamorphosed into a sun drenched Caribbean shore, complete with cigars, sand & a mean brass section... this truly is the reason we love Cuba!

11:30pm
Once you hear the dense addictive sound of heavy brazilian drums you know the producers will be none other than Rhythm Brazil
In true Rhythm Brazil style, they will Ravish the stage one gorgeous brazilian performer at a time until there will be no room for another feather. Then to your amazement more drums & amazing crowd-hyping-Brazilian instruments squeeze between the dancers to build an entity-of-awesomeness. That is undeniably the reason we love Brazil!

12:30pm
As Brazil meets Cuba, you meets them too and after you are well versed in all things samba/salsa, the party continues.... of course!

Short Sweet And Theatre

Event Date: 27/02/2014, 07:30 pm

Short+Sweet - the festival of tasty short theatre bites
The annual festival of 10-minute plays opens 8 January running through to 3 March at the King Street Theatre, Newtown. The program changes weekly and plays Wed - Sat 7.30pm plus Sun 5.15. Plus the Wildcard performances: Sat 2:30pm, Sun 1pm and Mon at 7:30pm.

Theatre festival director Pete Malicki – taking the helm of his 3rd straight fest - said Short+Sweet was the biggest of its type in the world. This year it boasts 170 short plays – chosen from more than 1200 entries from all over Australia and internationally – and showcasing the talents of 320 writers and directors and more than 450 actors.

On display is the work of both seasoned professionals and talented newcomers – often in an explosive alchemical mix. This year Sydney also welcomes companies visiting from Malaysia and India where the international arm of Short+Sweet is already well-established.

Pete enthused about the networking opportunities such a festival offers artists as well as a door way to further fame - and sometimes even fortune!

"In 2009 when presenting my first Short+Sweet play I saw an amazing monologue by a young woman wrapped in bandages while talking about having sex with super villains.

“That actress was Steph Dawson who just recently landed herself a lead role as Annie Cresta in The Hunger Games."

Other Short+Sweet alumni include Rose Byrne and Brendan Cowell.

This year, the theatre festival runs in parallel during January to a Cabaret and Dance festival, just up the road at the New Theatre.

Courtney Act - Boys Like Me

Event Date: 25/02/2014, 08:00 pm

Hit cabaret show, one night only.
Courtney Act - the nom de plume of gender illusionist, Shane Jenek - brings her hit cabaret show, Boys Like Me to Sydney Theatre for one night only on Tuesday 25 February, direct from sold out seasons in NYC and LA.

Courtney Act airs hysterical dirty laundry from her titillating sex life, including the angry text from that straight boy’s girlfriend, the twins in Montreal and the US Marine, to name a few.

Courtney Act’s dazzling career kicked off after she became a semi-finalist on Australian idol in 2003, leading to a national arena tour and record deal with SONY/BMG. Since then, she’s opened for Lady Gaga (and sang at her birthday party), played Angel in Rent and been voted by FHM Magazine as one of the top 100 Sexiest Women in the world (despite being a bloke).

It has just been announced that Courtney Act, who was in the first series of Australian Idol in 2003, will appear on television in RuPaul’s Drag Race early next year. To appear on this internationally viewed reality tv show is an huge privilege and acknowledgement of Courtney Act’s professional standing in the entertainment business.

Boys Like Me showcases Courtney’s observations of life on the gender divide, her journey through masculinity and femininity and how it manifests when boys like her.

Courtney Act appears at Sydney Theatre as part of a trio of shows for Mardi Gras. Following Courtney on the 25 February are Bob Downe (26 - 27 February) and Trevor Ashley (28 February).

Suitable for ages 15+
