'And I dread sinking into the vertigo of unconsciousness, into the well of oblivion' … Premiered in 2010, Kaija Saariaho's dramatically charged monodrama Émilie draws inspiration from the life, and the final writings, of Émilie du Châtelet, an extraordinary mathematician, scientist, and philosopher. Unfolding as a stream of consciousness narrative, a series of vignettes during her ultimately fatal pregnancy, Émilie gives an incisive, haunting voice to women's experiences of rage, elation, grief, and despair in a society unwilling to hear them. In a concert performance, The Cooperative is delighted to present the Australian premiere of this incredible work, re-envisaged for five singers, and performed by an outstanding cast and orchestral ensemble. All profits taken from admission will support organisations working for the advancement of women's health and wellbeing, in Australia and globally. Conductor: Joanna Drimatis Cast: Hannah Burton Elizabeth Cooper Joanna D

It was listed by UNESCO in its Creative Cities Network in 2014 as a Creative City of Crafts and Folk Arts. The Magical Craftsmanship of Suzhou director Sun Zengtian once said: 'East and West after all two different sources o

Vivienne Binns is an important figure in the history of Australian visual art. Binns rose to prominence in the 1960s with her psychedelic depictions of sexual imagery, which anticipated the feminist art movement. Since that time, she has continued to shape some of the most significant developments in Australian visual culture, both within and beyond the domain of the gallery. Binns' outstanding contribution to Australian art was recognised in 2021 with an Australia Council Award for Visual Arts. Vivienne Binns: On and through the Surface is the first retrospective of Binns' multifaceted practice. A partnership between the MCA and Monash University Museum of Art, it brings together over 100 artworks spanning six decades alongside a rich selection of archival materials. The exhibition charts the key periods, themes and methods in Binns' work, from her early iconic depictions of the body to the socially transformative impact of her community projects, and the breadth of ideas

Australia has committed to eliminating hepatitis C by 2030, with targets to increase diagnoses and treatment, and reduce new infections and liver-related deaths. Hepatitis C therapies with cure rates of over 95% are one of the greatest medical advances in decades, having led to declines in liver-related mortality. Our ability to meet the WHO targets in Australia is threatened by declines in annual hepatitis C RNA testing and treatment. For World Hepatitis day, this special event will include presentations from the Kirby Institute ; Hepatitis Australia ; Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) ; and Burnet Institute on efforts to help find, test, and treat people living with hepatitis C in Australia.

Join one of Australia's most popular broadcasters Indira Naidoo for an exclusive book talk to discuss her newest release The Space Between the Stars. The book talk is held right by Indira's beloved fig tree that overlooks our beautiful Sydney Harbour and is featured in the book. 'For as long as I can remember, there has always been just the three of us. Three sisters. Only a year between each. Inseparable. It's been like that for almost 50 years … Until my youngest sister walked out into her suburban backyard and took her life.' After her younger sister died suddenly, broadcaster Indira Naidoo's world was shattered. Turning to her urban landscape for solace, Indira found herself drawn to a fig tree overlooking Sydney harbour. A connection began to build between the two - one with a fractured heart, the other a centurion offering quiet companionship while asking nothing in return. The Space Between the Stars is a heart-rending, at times funny, and uplifting tri

Mike Bartlett's hit UK drama, Albion , will receive its Australian premiere at Seymour Centre presented by Secret House, New Ghosts Theatre Company and Seymour Centre. Against advice from family and friends, businesswoman Audrey buys an old house in ruins and dreams of restoring the house's once magnificent garden to its former glory, as a tribute to the son she recently lost to war. As she clings to the significance of the past, she searches for seeds of hope in the future. Praised by The New York Times for its richly imagined drama and characters, Albion is at once a sweeping family saga and a powerful parable about patriotism, nostalgia and national identity in Brexit-era Britain. Deliberately drawing parallels with Chekhov's masterpiece, The Cherry Orchard , Bartlett paints a poignant, shrewdly funny portrait of a nation torn between preserving the past and radically reforming the present, and Albion played to packed houses and critical acclaim upon its debut in 2017

In Dreams of Flight (Duke University Press, 2022) Fran Martin, Associate Professor and Reader in Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne, explores how young women from China negotiate competing pressures while studying in Australian universities. Unmarried middle-class students from the single-child generations are encouraged to develop themselves as professionals through international education, and mould themselves into independent, cosmopolitan, career-oriented individuals. But they also face strong neo-traditionalist pressures from the state, society and their families that push them to marry and have a family before the age of 30. A/Professor Martin's extensive ethnographic and interviews-based research with students and their parents reveal their motivations for studying in Australia, and their experiences while here in everyday life in our cities, media use, work, romance, religion, and evolving feelings about their homeland. She uncovers the power of international e
