Winter Season, Arts Centre
In addition to a very impressive season of major works in the main theatres— Philip Glass and Robert Wilson’s Einstein on the Beach (31 July-4 Aug), ADT’s Proximity (15-18 Aug) and US Dance company MOMIX’s Botanica (7-11 Aug)—Melbourne’s Arts Centre is also filling its hallways, foyers and rehearsal rooms with new commissions and site-responsive works. Visual artists Gabriella and Silvana Mangano have been prowling the underground tunnels and forgotten chambers of the complex to create a video installation titled Hidden Spaces, Ready Stages (27 July-4 Aug). Poet-in-residence Kate Larsen will be live tweeting poems displayed on the venue’s signage in Poetry by LED (5-11 Aug). An interactive audio tour, 5 x 5 x 5, sees emerging composers, mentored by leading artists, create works for five different locations around the centre experienced via personal MP3 players (27 July-18 Aug). Showing in the rehearsal rooms will be Saskia Moore’s Dead Symphony, a music and light show inspired by near-death accounts (7-10 Aug) and Swiss company Trickster-p will present .h.g., a haunted house version of Hansel and Gretel through which the audience amble with torch and iPhone app (8-11 Aug).
