Robert Curgenven & Kris Keogh - To the End of the Earth, Studio (cabaret)
Friday 16th April 2010
  This show brings together two local luminaries working at the cutting edge of electronica and sonic art. While artist-in-residence at Milan’s O'Artoteca, Robert Curgenven developed his Transparence dubplate, using decaying vinyl to produce a unique physical response from the room, air and amplification - creating deep undertones and blossoming overtones via these manifold resonances. Kris Keogh is well-known locally through his electronic project Cooperblack whose various releases have garnered critical acclaim and airplay - in 2007 he topped the Triple J Unearthed electronic charts. Returning to the Studio, Kris Keogh will be performing a mixed electronic and acoustic set, including music for harp.
Tickets on sale to DEC members from Monday 1st March and to the general public from Monday 8th March.
Barry Brown and the GetDown, Studio (cabaret)
Friday 23rd April 2010
  Think classic funk. What do you get? James Brown. Think bootylicious grooves. What do you get? Barry White. Mix in some seriously dysfunctional upbringing, add the intense tropical heat of Australia's frontier north, squirt in a dash of white boy soul brother style... and you have Barry Brown and the GetDown, who are bringing their afromakin’, bootyshakin’, funkalicious dance party extravaganza to town. After stunning Darwin audiences with their blitzkrieg of sweet and sweaty funk during the Build-Up, Barry Brown and the GetDown return to do it again on the big stage - and in the airconditioning! Patrons are encouraged to dress to move in the groove. (Special costume door prize - a date with Barry!)

Lennon - Nowhere Man, Playhouse
Friday 23rd April 2010
  The legend of John Lennon remains as strong today as it was during his life as his music and message continue to touch and fascinate millions. This tribute to the man and his music features some of the best in the business singing the Lennon songbook and recounting his life before, with and after The Beatles. From his motherless childhood and his first meeting with Paul McCartney, through the hysteria of Beatlemania and the controversial break-up of the band, to his solo career and his tragic death in 1980, Lennon’s eventful life and the genius of his music are re-lived and re-created. Featuring authentic costumes and original instruments, William Croft (from Beatle Magic) faithfully re-creates Lennon with all his charisma and his contradictions. A captivating and inspiring evening of music and story-telling, bringing alive the most fascinating of the Beatles.

The Folding Wife, Studio
Wednesday 5th May 2010
  Grace, a young Filipina woman, is placing her family to rest by packing them up in little boxes. Alone, equipped only with anecdotes, she breathes life to the two women of her family who have led her to the Australian landscape. There is Clara, the grand matriarch who remembers an opulent Philippines of the Spanish era and is comforted by long-gone wealth and an impeccable breeding. Her daughter Dolores is a disappointment, having given birth to Grace after a scandalous affair. For Clara all their problems would be solved if only her daughter would marry a foreigner – preferably an American. This is a deeply moving story exploring the external and internal landscape that propels people to scatter across the face of the earth and the consequences it has for personal and cultural identity.
