Ten Days on ARTRAGE – Oct/Nov 06

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

ARTRAGETen Days on ARTRAGE is happening from 27 October to 5 November 2006 and will feature a spectacular program of sound, visual art, dance, theatre, film, quality arts and cultural interaction!
A highlight is ‘The Block’, a custom-made arts and cultural experience designed by ARTRAGE and constructed out of sea-containers in the centre of Northbridge which will have a diverse line-up of events. To name just a few treats, there is ’24 HOURS,’ where artists make theatre and films with a time limit of only 24 hours, and a ‘Pet Photo Booth,’ where owners can bring their beloved animals to have some quirky snaps taken. There is also the big, interactive sound toy that is ‘Audiosity’, and ‘Feuerwasser’, a poetic tempest of pure energy created by fire and water in the middle of the street.

The Bakery ARTRAGE Complex will be a late night Festival Club, and have musical entertainment from 9pm every night, dance and theatre performances.

Others events that will be happening include films at Cinema Paradiso, a fashion spectacular and a visual arts exhibition.

A big night of action is on Saturday 4 November, when there will be a Night Market, dance spectacle and more on the streets of Northbridge, for FREE!

The whole program is now the ARTRAGE website and it’s huge! A lot of the events are free or very cheap. The website is quite easy to navigate, but you can also download the program. And it’s also printed in the form of poster, but I don’t where to get it, I got mine from a friend! Keep an eye out for it, it’s got the photo above on one side of it.
