Drug Aware Short Performance Festival From the wildly experimental to the outrageously funny; sometimes witty and sophisticated; at other times sombre or even silly, Putting on an Act provides a unique opportunity to see what WA’s independent performance makers are up to. The full gamut of original and experimental performance is served in bite-sized pieces, encompassing dance, spoken word performance, physical theatre, live or audio-visual art. With a different program of short performances every night, each restricted to 15 minutes duration and often accompanied by slide and video projection, this rapid-fire performance season has proven immensely popular since its inception in 1994.
