Short Sweet And Theatre

Event Date: 15/01/2014, 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.

Tim Bruer Quartet

Event Date: 11/01/2014, 08:30 pm

Quartet featuring some of Sydney's best jazz musicians
Tim Bruer is a renowned pianist and composer whose quartet features some of Sydney’s best jazz musicians. The band presents a heady mix of sounds and diverse influences, and its styles include straight-ahead hard bop, lyrical European sonorities, as well as funky grooves. This is an energetic quartet who sound great on a recording but are sensational live.

Tim has been involved in the local jazz scene since the mid 80’s, and has worked with many artists, including Bernie McGann, Dale Barlow, James Morrison, Monica Trapaga, Errol Buddle, Jackie Orzarsky, Carl Orr and Gai Bryant.

In 2007, he released his first self-titled album as leader, featuring all of his own contemporary jazz compositions. The Quartet will be playing a typically diverse range of material, featuring songs from their self titled CD along with a number of new pieces. As usual, the repertoire will be both contemporary and accessible, and allow for plenty of creative interaction.

“It's actually one of the best albums I have heard... I don't just mean here in OZ... it holds up to any, anywhere”. Bruce Cale on “The Tim Bruer Quartet”

Dale Barlow Quartet

Event Date: 10/01/2014, 08:30 pm

One of Australia's outstanding jazz musicians
Regarded as one of Australia's outstanding jazz musicians, saxophonist and band leader Dale Barlow was one of the first artists to play when Foundry616 launched last year - and the club is delighted to have this heavyweight player back with this outstanding band.

Dale performed at the 2013 International Jazz Day in Turkey alongside jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Branford Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Terri Lynn Carrington, Diane Reeves and many more.

Tenor saxophonist Dale Barlow is one of Australia's few jazz artists with a real international profile, mainly stemming from his stint with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the 1980s (resulting in several albums, most featuring some of Barlows compositions) and recordings with American artists including the Cedar Walton Trio and Billy Cobham, as well as performances with Gil Evans Orchestra and Chet Baker.His reputation was further enhanced with extensive touring throughout Europe and Britain, as well as Asia, South Africa, and the U.S.A.

Barlow is at the helm of this new band, whose players were described by John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald) as having "...musicality, an instinct for avoiding imposing themselves on the music and a lightness in the enunciation of rhythms".

This band is set to ignite the stage on a semi regular basis at Foundry616 as Barlow prepares them for a recording to add to an extensive catalogue of albums as a leader.

Dale Barlow (saxophone/horns) Harry Sutherland (piano) Noel Mason (bass) Dominic Robinson (drums)

-John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

On The Shore Of The Wide World

Event Date: 09/01/2014, 07:00 pm

Pantsguys Productions & Griffin Independent present a play by Simon Stephens
Alex Holmes is ready for adulthood, ready to lose his virginity and ready to leave his home town. But history isn’t on his side. Alex’s parents are careening towards infidelity, and his grandparents’ relationship continues to splinter. The sting of regret is turning out to be a Holmes family keepsake.

On the Shore of the Wide World is a sprawling and contemporary family saga about what we inherit and what we leave behind, spanning nine months, three generations and a life’s worth of missed opportunities.

After their 2012 Sydney Theatre Awards success (Best Independent Production, Best Independent Director, Punk Rock), pantsguys team up once again with director Anthony Skuse to rekindle their love affair with Simon Stephens.
