Concrete Playground

Liveworks is a crawling, sprawling tangle of contemporary pieces, bundled together into a four-day-long festival extravaganza. There's plenty for punters to choose from. Karen Therese will apply her particular brand of charismatic, confrontational and a-little-bit-crazy performance to Alistair White's 'Comfort Zone' theory. Brigid Jackson's Into/Out Of Me is a solo performance in a dressing room that explores the extent to which our bodies actually belong to us. In manola, Claudia Escobar pursues an "experimental visual journey", swinging between her heritage and popular perceptions of Colombia. And if you should feel the need for a brief moment of respite, don't visit the Clubhouse, where Cinemanic and I Can Draw You A Picture will be busily at work. While a day pass will keep you busy, I'd recommend the festival pass: for a mere $60, you can see as many performances as you can cram into the four days of the festival.
