Let's dance: free performances at Sydney icons

You don't get much for free these days, but from this month until September free performance art will take centre stage with Performances on the Quay, a series of evening programs jointly presented by the Sydney Opera House and Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA).

The performances are being supported by the NSW Government’s Culture Up Late initiative.

Using the Opera House and MCA Australia as their stage, five contemporary Australian artists will present artistic interpretations of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the climate crisis, highlighting the spirit of street dance.

“More than ever, the world around us is rich with questions that art can help us make sense of," said Sydney Opera House Director of Programming Fiona Winning..

"These works respond to the physical site and our contemporary world by using movement, music and the spoken word to challenge ideas and spark imaginations. 

"I’m excited to see these innovative Australian artists reimagine the spaces around us in this fantastic collaboration with our neighbours at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia."
