Theatre & Dance

Get ready for the time of your life.

Meet The Australian Ballet's brand new Resident Choreographer. 

Have you ever wanted to travel back in time and take in the sounds of a Shakespeare play in the original Globe Theatre?

Whether it’s in your yoghurt or on the stage, culture is good for you. Get your monthly dose in July: there’s a Harry Potter spin-off play; and a Jaws screening on the Thames;  and film festivals coming out the wazoo. Your eyeballs will thank you.

Bomb news: tickets go on sale SOON

Everything really is love. 

​We’re back, you gluttonous culture vultures. Ready to tear into another month of art, theatre, dance and nude bike rides (we’ll explain below). There’s actually a lot going on in June. Melbourne’s kicking off its huge NYC Festival, Sydney’s still rocking Vivid, and Auckland is celebrating something called Winetopia. The mind boggles.

Just when you thought it was safe to put away your monocle, we’re busting out the best shows, productions and exhibitions you need to catch this month. Here, there and everywhere. We’ve got new opera in Melbourne, Viva rocking into Sydney and talks by the legendary David Sedaris (you’ll have to fly to LA for that one, but you know...)

Dance montages galore.

If you think culture is something that comes from yoghurt, this guide’s for you. Presenting a hand-picked selection of the coolest and easiest-to-understand cultural events in Australia, NZ and the world. Mime and post-modernist theatre definitely not on the list, we promise. Only the good stuff.

Yes and yes. 

The stage show, not the actual chocolate. 

Get comfortable, guys. We’re back with another high-brow look at the world of Culture. And no, for the purposes of this list, Netflix doesn’t count. Keep reading if you want the latest on al things performance, theatre, galleries and nouveau meta-art installations, Snoopy Museums, terrifying pig-babies and thousands of lanterns filling the night sky.

Even we can afford this one. 

Here we go, guys. The Urban List Culture Edit, otherwise known as Thinga That Make You Go Hmmm. Art openings, exhibitions, cutting-edge theatre from around the world—if it’s creative and awesome, we’ll be covering it here. Take notes if you want to be super obnoxious at your next dinner party.

Break out the Tim Tams.
