MINI GRAS is a night to gather, to listen, to speak and to be heard. While the Mardi Gras festival burns brightly in the inner city the Joan will play host to a small spark of creative energy designed to engage the LGBTI community of Western Sydney and our allies.

New writings will make their way to open readings, local musicians will share the songs they love to share and community leaders will discuss, debate and debunk some of the mythologies around what it means to be ‘out’ and out West.

  • Saturday, Feb 28 2015 6:00pm

6.00 – 7.00pm: The Wild Wild West          

Join us for a panel discussion on art, Western Sydney, gathering spaces and the LGBTI community with speakers from ACON, Headspace, NSW Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby and the Joan.

7.30 – 8.30: Uncle Harold (the Naked Young Man)             

Sit in on a play reading of a new work by established, local playwright Dale Turner. Uncle Harold is a presently poignant story of past sexualities, history and family.

8.30 – 9.15: Queer Sounds                               

Grab a drink and listen to the sounds of John Milligan. John is an up and coming musician and musical theatre maker who will be playing some of his favourite anthems to round out the perfect Mini Gras experience.

‘Business Unfinished – part of PACT’s 2014 Vacant Room Season, is an interwoven collection of performed, pre-recorded, verbatim audio interviews conducted with Inner West residents who have experienced a range of paranormal phenomena. It is an exploration into the domestic spectacle, lip-sync and unexplained phenomena that may or may not be explainable but most definitely cannot be ignored.’

Vacant Room offers three interdisciplinary artists/groups a month long residency at PACT providing these artists with an opportunity to develop an idea or project with artistic mentoring, guidance and space. Vacant Room is about artistic process, giving an idea space to germinate, new possibilities and opening up new avenues of practice. These artists will have the input of specialist mentors and engage in weekly peer conversation and professional exchange. Three groups will share the space in 2014 between Sunday 27 July – Saturday 23 August 2014. An opportunity for discourse and feedback, the creative development period will culminate in a showing for an invited audience.

Boy and Bean

A night of dangerous glamour and wicked indulgence.

As darkness falls on the city, step out of the shadows for an evening of dangerous glamour and wicked indulgence at the Justice & Police Museum.

Travel back to the underworld of 1920s and 30s Sydney and be entertained by mysterious illusionists, burlesque dancers, speak-easy musicians and fortune tellers.

Spend time in the lockup with a true-crime storyteller, shoot your own silent-film scene or have your mug shot taken in the charge room. Unleash your dark side and design your own tattoo, contribute to a City of shadows crime-zine and learn razor-sharp card tricks.
