The Rocks, Sydney’s Hidden Surprises

Step up a laneway, or into a pop-up studio or into a tent and you find the hidden surprises of the Village Bizarre. There are aging impresarios, burlesque beauties, and a cornucopia of characters, musicians, stories, and fun to be had at The Cabinet of Curiosities, Greenway Lane, at the Rabbit Hole and many more little venues.

And if you are wanting to strike out a new dance move can learn how to do so from the best in show at Dancing in the Streets. Impress a friend, learn how to Bootscoot, dirty dance, Natbush, Bollywood and Zumba from the pros and then hit the streets with your fancy footsteps.

Dare to venture down Kendall Lane where history comes alive with 'The True Tale of George Cribb', a tale of Cribb, a convict butcher who lived and worked in The Rocks. Hear his humorous trials and triumphs as he sets up shop and shows off his butchering skills.

From the laneways of The Rocks the party takes a twisted turn into a secret hotel room in The Rocks for the ultimate theatre come after party experience, with 'Uta Uber Kool Ja'. This peek-a-boo car crash ride by award winning actor Georgina Symes is rocking, intimate, slightly tragic, deeply funny and ultimately, moving.

There is so much to explore each Friday night, but make sure you don't miss 'The Hidden Feast", Cohen impresses, "it offers a wonderfully curious experience in a decadent, yet slightly surreal outdoor setting where small groups of people can share a little food over an intimate 10 minute tête-à-tête with a celebrity artist and hear their intriguing stories".

Every corner of The Rocks unveils a new adventure, a new show. There'll be rabbit holes to dive in and cabinets full of curiosities that will both disturb and delight!

So grab a program and get ready to discover – there's too much to see all in one night – so why not visit again, and again…
