1. The Encounter


Head north in January 2017 for three weeks of theatre, dance, circus, music and arts
January is Sydney's favourite month of the year thanks to Sydney Festival. The three-week celebration of summer in the city includes 150 events across theatre, dance, circus, music and arts, and is well worth the plane (or road) trip up to catch as much of the action as possible. This year is festival director Wesley Enoch’s first program and he’s brought with him a renewed focus on new Australian work, a deepening of our connections to country and languages, and lots of accessible public art. In fact, there are 73 free events on the program. Take a look at our top ten picks of the program, which all take place between January 7-29.
