Geelong Arts Centre (GAC) has unveiled its 2023 program of events, announcing 19 diverse shows across four major programs and four venues.
GAC’s flagship program, Our Season 2023, features performances from some of Australia’s most notable companies, including Sydney Theatre Company, Opera Australia, The Australian Ballet and Sydney Dance Company.
The brand new REWIRE program focuses on celebrating new, contemporary voices that seek to break the boundaries of modern performance art.
The innovative program will present shows such as 27 Club, a live rockumentary featuring the music and stories of legendary musical icons such as Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix, and Rich Kids, an interactive digital presentation exploring privileged young people’s social media lifestyles in Iran.
GAC’s all-ages program Family Magic continues in 2023, as does its daytime program Delightful Days and Matinees, formerly Musical Mornings.
GAC’s shows will be performed at its three main venues – Geelong Arts Centre, Limelight Studio 4 and Costa Hall – as well as satellite venue Furphy Hall at Little Creatures Brewery.
Head of programming Penny McCabe said GAC was proud to deliver such a broad range of entertainment to the city.
“We are so pleased to showcase a truly diverse body of work across Geelong Arts Centre Presents 2023,” she said.
“We are confident that our 2023 programming genuinely has something for everyone.”
GAC CEO and creative director Joel McGuinness echoed Ms McCabe’s sentiments, highlighting the role of GAC and the performing arts in driving discourse and change.
“As a leader, connector and creator of extraordinary cultural experiences, Geelong Arts Centre is driven by a spirit for experimentation to bring new content and cultural experiences to Geelong,” he said.
“We are proud to present an amazing array of performances through our 2023 programs that break boundaries, start conversations and celebrate innovation.”
