Like nothing else you have ever seen before, La Traviata is an exquisite floating opera cradled in Farm Cove. The iconic Sydney skyline complete with Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Botanic Gardens and skyscrapers loom across the black water, highlighted by a giant, shimmering floating chandelier. I was lucky enough to sit in on the dress rehearsal, thanks to a friend …
This weekend is Sydney’s Reclaim the Lanes 2012. Inner West Courier coverage “What is Reclaim the Lanes?” I hear you ask? Nothing but the best free moving laneway party this side of the equator. Colourful folks, live music, wheelie bin sound systems and good vibes are what you can expect. Don’t miss out! Departing from the Hub (opposite Newtown Station) …

Thursday 22 September A rowdy crowd dolled up to the nines rocked up to the bus stop and were in for a night of dancing, drinking and debauchery and a camel bedecked lounge bar. The dance floor was always full …
Though feeling a little under the weather, I had a fun time performing at Sydney Opera House Open Day yesterday. It was a beautiful, sunny Spring day with a great turn out of over 40,000 people, many of whom had never been to Sydney Opera House before. I was privileged enough to get to alternate between performing as the dragon …
If you have a moment head to Sydney’s St Mary’s Cathedral at dusk tomorrow evening for an otherworldly experience. It will be your last chance to catch the site specific dance piece No Cold Feet by the locally based De Quincey Company.
