Now is humanity's best time to discover space. These school holidays, everyone is welcome to experience the sublime new photos from the James Webb, Euclid and other mind-bending space telescopes on an immersive sound and projection system in a deep space bunker.

See a rocket take-off, then look through pinholes in the sky to the beginning of the universe. That's right, look through time with massive images of planets, nebulae, blackholes and millions of galaxies. Some are just like our own and one, tauntingly, is in the near perfect shape of a question mark (actually).

The 30 minute audio-visual journeys loop every day, 27 Sep - 13 Oct. The show starts 5 minutes after the time on the ticket and people are welcome to stay if they'd like to experience it multiple times. Tickets are valid for any time on the day of ticket to give flexibility, so don't worry if you're early or late.

‘The Dataset’ is a bold new contemporary dance work by Canberra’s award-winning Australian Dance Party.

A dance between two bodies, light, sound, and AI, The Dataset imagines a world where we physicalise the data that forms us and interrogate its purpose and power. What happens when the system rules us? What happens when the system is broken? ‘The Dataset’ highlights our adaptability as humans in the face of adversity.

Roam the stalls filled with waxy, vintage goods, all from local cheese and wine merchants. Nibble on some sharp local feta and churn your way through some gooey camembert. And while you’re there, sip on and bottle up some grape wine selections. Cheese lover, you gouda be there! 

20 minute sets. 20+ crews. A warehouse of chaos. Each DJ must mix from the last. No cuts, no buts. Closed by the great Andy Garvey (Pure Space, Canberra OG).

Witness the whole Canberra DJ community mixing up a storm. Old legends are flying back to share decks with emerging crews, an old-school MC will keep the dancers up to date on who's mixing and a cracking projection and light show will respond to every new track, every new genre, as awards are decided on who can mix the most. Reviving a party idea from 2013, when Literally Too Many DJs asked 20 DJs to mix 120 songs in two hours, this concept party has evolved into crew showcases where quick mixing is the game but anything goes.

The live music scene has often turned its nose up at our doof doof 'noise', and this is a tough time for the whole industry, so here's a little remedy: all the crews coming together to put on a warehouse party, where everyone is welcome.
