The lights dim, the music swells, and wrapped in the magical embrace of Cloudland, the dance begins... An iconic Brisbane building for decades, the Cloudland ballroom was the focus of the city's social life. Countless romances blossomed under its spinning mirror balls. Romantic, nostalgic, and humorous, Cloudland is based on real-life stories of romance, friendship and war-time relationships. With music performed live on stage by Sean O'Boyle and his fabulous band, the production gives an energetic and dynamic portrayal of life, love and dance in Brisbane from the 1940s to the 1980s. Choreographed by François Klaus, this wonderfully entertaining ballet was a sell-out hit at the 2004 Brisbane Festival, and has since charmed audiences on a critically acclaimed tour to six cities across Germany and Switzerland. Let the spirited dancers of Queensland Ballet whisk you back in time to Cloudland!

The rich watercolours of Albert Namatjira's story are transformed into a momentous theatrical event in Namatjira, a groundbreaking new Australian work by Scott Rankin starring Trevor Jamieson and Derik Lynch. Utilising Jamieson's elegant physicality, and the music of internationally renowned Genevieve Lacey, this story captures the intense beauty, depth, opportunism, mateship and injustice that has shaped our country. Namatjira is more than a night at the theatre; this is an experience of art, live on stage. Before our eyes, the grandchildren of Albert Namatjira -- third generation watercolour artists -- assist with the re-telling of his life, filling the stage with a huge landscape drawing of their desert country.
Albert Namatjira's achingly beautiful watercolours introduced the lounge rooms of Australian suburbia to the exquisite beauty of our central desert heartland. In a similar way, this sweeping narrative acts as a window through which we can see ourselves, and our nation, as clearly as the landscapes he gave to us.

A true story of love, family, strength and the choices we make. In April 2009, two weeks short of his nineteenth birthday Toowoomba teenager Kristjan Terauds died due to complications from illicit drug use. Inspired by 'April's Fool', an account of his son's death by Kristjan's father, the Empire Theatre commissioned award-winning playwright, David Burton to bring this story to the stage. Using the words of Kristjan's friends and family interviewed over many months the result is a powerful mix of sadness, loss, and ultimately love, laced with humour. April's Fool promises to be a thought-provoking and ultimately optimistic reflection on how we all live our lives.
