Who we are

RealTime is published by Open City, an Incorporated Association in New South Wales, Australia. We are a critical guide to national and international contemporary arts, with a focus on experimentation in performance—live art, contemporary performance, adventurous theatre, dance, music, sound—photomedia, film, video, interactive media and hybrid arts.

Publishing regularly first in print and then online between 1994-2018, RealTime is now working on creating an extensive archive of its coverage, with critical and contextualised analysis of changes in Australian contemporary performance art over the period of our existence.

Our website address is: http://www.realtime.org.au.
