WHAT’S ON AT CoCA August & September Prepare to be entertained at the Centre of Contemporary Arts with two knock out, hilarious performances that will see pop culture, botox and all things #firstworldwhitegirls collide in a satirical mix of comedy, romance and Australian “suburbia”. Since their sell-out season in 2014, #FirstWorldWhiteGirls have been making audiences squirm with delight with their hilariously narcissistic brand of slick comedy and catchy vocals. Now they are back this August 11 &12 with #FirstWorldWhiteGirls: Botox Party! – that further pokes fun at first world entitlement and the self-obsessed “me” generation. To celebrate, #FirstWorldWhiteGirls are throwing the most exclusive party in town and you’re invited. Grab the girls together for an outrageous hour of confessions, makeovers, celebrity worship and backstabbing in this hilarious celebration of first world vanity. Take a peek into the lifestyles of the rich and heinous, set to a soundtrack of original comic songs exposing the struggles of our age – quinoa enemas, Snapchat filters, accidental sexting, foetus facials and the Refugee Diet. Don’t miss this chance to see just how offensive privilege can be. LOVE DANCE… but with a twist? Taking to the CoCA stage September 14-15 is BLUE LOVE created by award-winning Australian choreographer, artistic director and acclaimed dancer Shaun Parker. A delightful infusion of intense physical theatre, comedy and dance, BLUE LOVE offers a poetic and satirical take on the clichés of pop culture, romance and suburbia. From a fantastic place where TV soap meets art-house film, characters Glenn and Rhonda Flune draw on popular works of art across theatre, music and film, parodying the lip-service given to love and its incarnations as they take the audience on an expedition in search of the perfect relationship. #FIRSTWORLDWHITEGIRLS: BOTOX PARTY!: AUGUST 11 & 12. INDIVIDUAL TICKETS $35 OR CABARET TABLES (FOUR PEOPLE) $124. BLUE LOVE: SEPTEMBER 14 & 15. TICKETS FROM $24. TO BOOK VISIT WWW.ARTSCAIRNS.COM.AU Issue 19 | 15
