Saturday June 23 - somewhere deep in the forest
There's something about gathering in the forest to dance and get together with friends...night time is one thing but its greeting the morning that really does it for me....this event was surprisingly big considering the weather was looking a bit iffy - nonetheless, some 300 people braved the elements which were in our favour. A couple of decent fires to warm up with and sit and talk around always makes for a social evening. Congratulations again to the Bass Camp / Art Official crew....

Flamenco Festival Bellingen

Teatro Del Munde are an Adelaide based Flamenco Dance troupe who graced Bellingen over the weekend with their latest show as part of the Flamenco Festival. All things Flamenco were on offer including a series of workshops and masterclasses, with two performances in the Bellingen Memorial Hall on Friday and Saturday night. Full houses on both nights and an opportunity for me to design and operate lights for the performances. These shots were taken before Saturdays performance during the pre-show warm up.

FreshART 2007

A few weeks ago as part of the FreshArt Festival in Port Macquarie, I ran an introduction to Events Management for young people in the area.

Check out the 'Youtube' link and the 2007 FreshArt Ad put together by Ben Swinbanks of Blue Ice Graphics - Swinny was one of the participants in the Events Workshops and edited another short video piece for the "Editions" Youth Team as part of their funding submission. Swinny is a volunteer on the FreshArt Committee. He's a twenty year old graphic designer who's worked on building a new fresh media campaign for the FreshArt & Hastings to Ocean Festivals including the events calendar at the end of this post.

FreshArt opens the Hastings to Ocean Festival on Saturday June 30th and runs over the school holidays till the 'grand finale' on Friday 13th July.

It includes the FreshArt Exhibition , FREE workshops including two I'll be presenting - An Introduction to Digital Photography and a three day Short Fimmaking Intensive as well as live performances over the July school holiday break.

Congratulations Swinny and the FreshArts team for putting together a great program!

Michelin Man

This mobile sculpture was an afternoon's project for a bush doof some months ago....I bought the air conditioning duct real cheap from a recycling joint in Brisbane a few weeks earlier and was just hanging [excuse the pun] to make something of it - well a few beers and some rope and a pair of pliers and voila!

The best part of this sculpture/mobile was that when the sound system was pumping, he actually began dancing in time with the music - it was a bit freaky but then I discovered some rascal on the end of the rope - hidden behind the trees - had quite a few people fooled bigtime!

He stands about 3.5 metres tall and looks pretty impressive in all his shiny glory!
