EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF AUSTRALIAN DANCE + WIN A THAI FOOT SPA!

The count-down is on! In just under four weeks we welcome Force Majeure's critically acclaimed dance theatre work, The Age I'm In, directed by renowned choreographer Kate Champion. Fresh from a successful international tour and sell out seasons at Sydney and Adelaide Festivals, The Age I'm In takes a fresh, humorous look at generational clichés, family, friendship, love and the ageing process. The Age I'm In won Outstanding Performance by a Company at the 2009 Dance Awards, and is your chance to experience Australian dance theatre at its best.

Get your extra dose of dance when Dance Week 2010 hits our stage (3-9 May). You'll be treated to a number of creative development showings from some of Brisbane's foremost dancers. Plus, the groundbreaking new work While Others Sleep goes on sale on Sat 1 May. A major production by Expressions Dance Company, Judith Wright Centre and acclaimed jazz trio Misinterprotato, While Others Sleep presents an intoxicating blend of contemporary dance and live jazz.

Meanwhile, we're giving you the chance to win one of 120 complimentary foot spa treatments valued at $65 each - courtesy of The Thai Foot Spa on James St in Fortitude Valley (and just in time for Mother's Day!). For all the details, check out Handle With Care below.
