Short Sweet And Theatre

Event Date: 22/01/2014, 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.

Short Sweet And Dance

Event Date: 22/01/2014, 07:30 pm

Short+Sweet - the festival of tasty short performance bites
Short+Sweet Dance takes place at the New Theatre, Newtown from 22 January to 2 February, Wed-Saturday 7.30pm with Wildcard Youth and Wildcard Experimental 2pm Sat matinees. The gala final will play on Sun 2 Feb at both 2pm and 7.30pm.

Joshua Lowe and Adam Wheeler are festival directors and welcome the return of this genre to the stable after a 3 year absence.

“This time the competitive angle has been stripped back to present more of a showcase that unites emerging and established dance makers with audiences,” says Joshua.


“With more than 40 original pieces divided into 4 companies, each performing twice, the festival has also incorporated dance on film - allowing international entries as well.

“As with cabaret and theatre, the 'Wildcard' performances are also a feature - in this case allowing both a youth and experimental division to take the creative showcase even further.”

Just some of the more than 40 choreographers and 100+ artists involved include Martin del Amo, Rosslyn Wythes, Paulina Quinteros and Sean Marcs.

The Dance festival – which follows the Cabaret festival - runs in parallel with the annual theatre fest, just up the road at the King Street Theatre.

Curious Jac

Event Date: 23/01/2014, 11:00 am

A magical adventure of the extremely curious Jac
Curious Jac is performed by bilingual storyteller, Lilli Pang and is a magical adventure of the extremely curious Jac who travels the continents and discovers the answers to her questions through the magic of music and storytelling. Jac is full of questions. She is extremely curious and asks about everything around her, but answers only lead to more questions! She wants to know how mountains were made, what can the trees see, how do we smile, why is the moon so large when it rises, why does the turtle have cracks on its back.
Curious Jac playing 23 to 25 January

The Music Of Charlie Parker

Event Date: 17/01/2014, 08:30 pm

Sydney's new generation of BeBopers...
Sydney's new generation of BeBopers will bring to you the absoloute classic music of Charlie Parker in a celebration that tributes the master saxophonist and genius mind, who changed JAZZ music forever.

Charlie Parker - 'Bird', innovated a whole new approach to the way jazz music was played, not only on the Saxophone, but all jazz instruments. His approach to improvisation provided 'freedom' from the pop culture of swing music as Bird represented musicians for the first time as intellectual artists rather than entertainers.

An all star Bebop Quintet line up made up of the most dedicated jazz musicians playing all your favourite tunes that are still cherished today - including 'Billies Bounce,' 'Ornithology,' 'Now's The Time' and more!

Will Endicott (Trumpet)
Stas Radzievskiy (Saxophone)
James Heazlewood Dale (Double Bass)
Daren Sirbough (Keys)
Phil Lombardo (Drums)

This double-pass is for the event only. You can upgrade your ticket to include the dinner special.
