We miss the arts as much as you do, so we're trialling this new guide to where you can find theatre, comedy, dance, writer's talks and all that jazz, which will be updated a few times per week, for the week ahead.
The recommendations will focus on Australian content, with occasional international gems thrown in too.
There will be a genuine world premiere, live-streaming arts (gold!), streams from the archive, on-demand dates, bite-sized bits of content from Australian artists and theatre companies, and recommendations for the best 'virtual' exhibitions (ideally something that gives you the feeling of 'being there').

7pm AEST: Griffin Lock-In with Black Birds
Tune in for the second in this five-night program of specially-commissioned online works from indie artists, curated by Griffin Theatre Company's new artistic director Declan Greene (Wake in Fright; Blackie Blackie Brown). For this initiative, a partnership with Google Creative Lab, Greene invited five artists/collectives to create a short work off this prompt: "How do you create the feeling of live theatre when it's all happening online?" All-female theatre collective Black Birds will take the reins in this second night of the series, available on Griffin's YouTube channel. We can't tell you what the show is, but we can say it will be satirical.
