During Live Live, Performance Space will be inhabiting the entire CarriageWorks building and site with extra satellite events also taking place.

"I always like art which prompts me to think about the world I live in," said Performance Space Director Daniel Brine.

"We've tried to reflect this curiosity in the works we've selected for Live Live. Some explore 'big questions' while others ask us to reflect on intimate moments. The season ranges from the global to the immediate but always provides fresh perspectives through the eyes of artists and new experiences for audiences."

Branch Nebula kicks off the season with their world premiere Sweat. Co-creators Lee Wilson and Mirabelle Wouters bring together a combination of disciplines and integrate them into a tightly choreographed ensemble work. Sweat is a darkly humorous performance that delves into the world of those who do the dirty work.

Incompatible Elements and Trashcan Dreams make up Live Live’s exhibition program. Incompatible Elements is a new media art installation from Josephine Starrs and Leon Cmielewski. Employing poetic texts embedded into animated satellite images of landscapes at particular risk, it responds to the effects of climate change in mythical, biblical and chemical ways. Sarah Goffman's Trashcan Dreams is a site-specific installation utilizing found and collected materials. She creates an engrossing environment from repurposed materials which questions both the human condition and our responsibilities to the wider culture and it's environs. Collaborating on this project are performers Morita Yasuaki and Lina Ritchie of the Yanaka Group, Tokyo.

New Zealand artist David Cross brings part-bodily ordeal, part-children's play-house giant inflatable installation in his work, Hold. Occupying CarriageWorks' cavernous Bay 17, Hold entices audiences to take up the 'physical challenge' and test their mettle!

Nightshifters is a moving-image work by video and new media artists, Cordelia Beresford, Alexis Destoop, Samuel James, Kate Murphy (with Basil Hogios), Angelica Mesiti, Eugenia Raskopoulos, Dominic Redfern and John Tonkin. Nightshifters encourages audiences to encounter their works by exploring the spaces of CarriageWorks and the Eveleigh Railyards in the semi-darkness of urban nighttime.

Concluding the season is a festival of new ideas, Liveworks. For four days and nights over twenty-five artists and groups will pack CarriageWorks. There will be something happening on the hour, every hour, which allows artists to experiment and audiences to experience. There will be a range of different performances, installations, one-on-one events, talks, live debates, screenings and hands-on activities. The evening will conclude with NightTime, Performance Space's platform for new short works.

There are a number of special events and projects, the first of which is IndigeLab for Indigenous artists and thinkers. This year Indigelab will be led by Wesley Enoch, Artistic Director of Queensland Theatre Company, who will facilitate a Q&A on the opening evening.

Performance Space is also delighted to host TippingPointAustralia in Sydney. TippingPoint is a network organisation based in the UK that connects the arts and climate science worlds. There will be three forums held in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in 2010, exploring the functional, cultural and social effects of climate change. As part of the forum there will be a free public conversation, Where's the Silver Lining? This forum will raise the question of whether we can re-imagine the nature of art and culture of our relationships in the crisis of climate change.

P4 (pilot) is a series of live art projects framed by four simple creative parameters: practice, publish, participate and perform. UK artists FrenchMottershead will bring a work to Sydney and Perth that invites people to question their relationship to the public realm.Follow the works as they take shape at the Performance Space website.
