On the screens until 22 March, is Tonight Show: Rehearsals for Australian Dance Theatre, 1974, in connection with After Images: 60 Years of Australian Dance Theatre exhibition in Festival Theatre Foyer Galleries.

This work is part of the After Images exhibition that tracks the remarkable history of Australian Dance Theatre, our nation’s oldest continuing contemporary dance company.

In celebration of the company’s 60th birthday, the exhibition revisits iconic works by ADT’s six Artistic Directors and the indelible mark they have left on contemporary dance locally and internationally.
