The focus for Drama NSW this year is
the National Drama Conference in September/October and we
are pleased to be hosting this event for Drama Australia. Turning the Tides is
the theme of the conference and we hope to highlight this theme
through reflections on practice, performance, research, policy
and strengthening communities.
To
start the Conference with a splash you are invited on Friday
30th September to a function on the rooftop terrace of Saint
Aloysius’ College at Milson’s Point. Soak
in the fabulous view of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
Sydney boasts a number of well known theatre companies and
we will organise tickets for a number of shows for the Saturday
evening. We will coordinate this with dinner in a nearby
restaurant. The conference dinner at the Coogee
Bay Hotel on the Sunday evening should also be a great evening
with views of Coogee Beach and close to conference accomodation.
Come and join us in our beautiful city on
the harbour and 'turn
the tides' with us.

SYDNEY…….
When you come to Sydney……..
You will discover it’s sunny,
sophisticated and cultural…….
Sydney basks in its worldwide recognition as the shining
star of the southern hemisphere. The white-sailed Sydney
Opera House, caught mid-billow over the waters of Sydney
Cove, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are the pride and joy,
but there's far, far more on offer. Light, bright, cheerful
and colourful - Sydney style has an exuberant quality defined
by the city's climate, magnificent harbour, luxuriant hinterland
and superb beaches. Voluptuous rather than sharp-edged,
gorgeous rather than chic, the New South Wales capital
dazzles with personality.
Sydney's sparkling harbour is the
jewel in the city's crown. It's flanked by golden beaches and
bushland, and is bisected by one of the most famous bridges
in the world. Islands sprinkle its waters, and it's crisscrossed
by all manner of craft, from water taxis and yachts to tour
boats and ferries - sparkling both day and night - and the
city reflects the Australian personality - a bit brash, a bit
cheeky but warm, outgoing and friendly. And it knows how to
party! There is something for every visitor - first class hotels,
restaurants, beaches, theatre, sight seeing, nightlife and
its overall vibrancy.
Sydney offers everything from performances
at the Opera House to street shows and theatres, making it
one of the world's hot spots for visual and performing arts.
Opera, ballet, modern dance and local and international theatre
are all catered for. You can even take in a show while cruising
on the harbour.
