Want to test drive life in a caravan before you take that trip around Australia? Anything is Valid Dance Theatre, a Perth-based contemporary dance company serves up their unique perspective of a road trip in the confines of a caravan at the 2012 Perth Fringe Festival.

Going Solo – at the Moon late night cafe – advances like a colonialist trooper into the evening during February. A key part of the big push strategy in Feb 2012 is the startling and cosy Rabbit Island. Rabbit Island will be performing each night in February alongside notorious musical vigilantes Sean Pollard from the Split Seconds, drone king Craig McElhinney, Tame Impala’s Nick Allbrook, The Chemist’s Ben Witt & dashing DYI trooper Peter Bibby from Perth’s own Frozen Ocean. Cool Perth Nights have run the Going Solo night for ten years now and for the last three years the night has very much happened each Wednesday night at the Moon cafe 323 William Street Perth, from 8 – 11pm. Entry is always free at the Moon.

THE CONSERVATORIUM: An exhibition of artworks in jars.

at paper mountain, northbridge

The Conservatorium features 80 emerging and established artists, who were given the brief that their work must be contained within a glass, plastic or ceramic jar. The resultant artworks resonate as an industrious investigation into containment, seeing and preserving.

Curated by Renae Coles & Anna Dunnill, The Conservatorium is the first exhibition to take place at Perth's newest artist-run initiative (ARI), Paper Mountain.

EXHIBITION OPENING: Jan 27, 6-9pm

OPEN DAILY 11-5

The Conservatorium is a part of FRINGE WORLD Festival, Perth 2012.

A Night of Deceit - Fringe World 2012

at the treasury mess hall

With an ensemble of both new and original cast members, a theatrical re-structuring and a completely new thematic direction, this promises to be a VERY different show from the original.

The twisting tongues of con-men adept in wordplay, the dirty desires of two underground NYC criminals, the lost misguided soul of an alien at a train station, a corrupt police officer infatuated with a whore and the salacious tongue of a gay sex therapist.

These are the men and women of our sordid affairs.

Witness as the lies that live in all of us cause the deconstruction of good people and bad people in both comedic and dramatic settings. The show that unravels the truth in the lie.

WHEN:
4th of Feb 2012 - 9:00PM
5th of Feb 2012 - 9:00PM
6th of Feb 2012 - 9:00PM
7th of Feb 2012 - 9:00PM

TICKETS:
$25 (No concessions at Fringe)
$20 a ticket for group bookings of 6 or more people.
