After a successful run in 2009, the Real to Reel Recording Studio returns in 2011 at a new location – the former Angus & Robertson shop in the Perth Train Station.

Foodchain, the City of Perth’s youth projects arm, gives local bands the gift of free recording time this Christmas while local punters receive a leisurely three evenings of free live music.

Between December 21 and 23, seasoned sound engineer Laurie Sinagra and photographer Casey Ayres will capture the action as bands come in, set up, record as many tracks as possible, and bump out.

Real to Reel enables audiences to access the purely physical experience of watching live music while exposing them to the equally important recording process.

The public are invited to come by and watch their favourite bands, then download all the tracks for free from www.foodchainperth.com/realtoreel

We’re passionate about good drinks, but we’re even more passionate about our regular customers. For this twist on a cocktail competition we’re turning the tables on our loyal regulars and inviting them to step behind the bar on a Sunday afternoon. Keeping it simple, each competitor will have to recreate one of four classic cocktails, while being judged on speed, cleanliness, balance of the drink, length of flavour in the drink, and their bartending presence.
No professional bartenders allowed in this comp!

A collage of post-teenage questioning and ego roller coasters, EARTH is the creation of eight young Western Australian performers, directed by Jeffrey Jay Fowler. Precariously pious but a little bit silly, simple in design but impossible to execute, young and full hunger, EARTH is a revelation in theatre making... or at least, it's a play about Earth.

Featuring Siobhan Crabb, Cody Fern, Liam Graham, Megan Hollier, Alex Malone, Iskandar Sharazuddin, Thomas James Vowles, and Lauren Lloyd Williams.
Written and directed by Jeffrey Jay Fowler.

Contains adult content.

Alternating Currents is a major exhibition developed by PICA and the Japan Foundation and sponsored by Allens Arthur Robinson, that presents significant new work by six contemporary Japanese artists, artist collectives and musicians. Spanning a number of generations, the artists in this exhibition have multi and interdisciplinary approaches to their art making that encompass performance, film, installation, sound art and music. Their works interrogate notions of live art practice, involving local artists and communities on different levels and in a number of instances in ways that reflect on the local and global effects of the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan earlier this year.

The works in this exhibition will surprise, delight and provoke visitors to PICA and in some cases encourage them to become active participants. Audiences will be prompted to buy and consume a 'local delicacy', experience a giant game, activate musical boxes and contribute to an international 'conference' on the Reconstruction of Japan.

Hours: 2-3pm
Cost: FREE
