Anna Halprin revisited in Sydney

Pictured is a scene from Blank Placard Dance, replay, by dance-maker Anne Collod, a performance which revisits Anna Halprin’s seminal performance in San Francisco 50 years ago. The performance is being presented as part of the Sydney Opera House's ANTIDOTE: A FESTIVAL OF IDEAS, ART & ACTION from 2-3 September, a new festival “celebrating the artists, thinkers and doers who have spearheaded change in a time of uncertainty”.

ANTIDOTE adds to the Sydney Opera House's stable of flagship contemporary festivals: All About Women, Graphic, BINGEFEST and Vivid LIVE. It will fill Australia’s most recognisable meeting place with immersive performance, courageous ideas and some of the world’s leading change agents.

ANTIDOTE builds on the strong base of the groundbreaking Festival of Dangerous Ideas, which it replaces in 2017.
