Bringing artists and audiences together in new, dynamic and responsive ways, LIVE DREAMS presents the future of experimental art, from across the Asia Pacific, in three curated evenings of performance; DISTANCE, JESTER, THRESHOLD.

This innovative platform allows artists from Australia and the Asia-Pacific to present ideas and works-in-progress, and allows the audience to experience the creative process, current developments in experimental art, and engage in a conversation about their next steps.

Now in its fourth season, join Carriageworks and Performance Space for three nights of performances, presentations and provocations.

DISTANCE  Curated by Talia Smith, join us for a night of performance, presentations and provocations, presenting works that explore notions of how distance keeps us apart but can also bring us together. Examining the distance between one point and another, between each other, between homes, between sadness and happiness.

THRESHOLD  Curated by Victoria Spence, join us for a night of performance, presentations and provocations, exploring works that consider arrival, passing through and beginning anew. Works that meet the 'what if' and 'if only' questions that may bring us to the end of what we know.
