IN A mighty affirmation of Canberra-made theatre, The Street Theatre was named on Tuesday (April 13) as a recipient of a 2020 Sidney Myer Performing Arts Award. Other recipients were Andrew Ford (Music, NSW), Metro Arts (Multi-Arts, Queensland), Kylie Bracknell (Theatre, WA), Sally Chance (Dance, SA), Second Echo Ensemble (Dance, Tasmania), Robin Fox (Music, Victoria) and Sean Pardy (Theatre, NT). The awards were established in 1984 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of the late arts philanthropist Sidney Myer. They have awarded more than $4 million over 38 years and have this year been expanded from the usual three (individual, facilitator and group) to eight prizes of $25,000, including at least one in each Australian state and territory.
