Thursday, 14 May 2009Top five tips for Vivid Sydney
Vivid Sydney Executive Producer, Brenton Kewley, was recently interviewed by Time Out Sydney and gave his top five tips of what to experience during the festival. Brenton is also the producer of the City of Sydney’s New Years Eve celebrations so he certainly knows how to entertain the public!
- See the lighting installation ‘Cycle’. A part of the Smart Light Sydney Light Walk, ‘Cycle’ is located at west Circular Quay and allows people to jump on an exercise bike and power up the lighting installation. I’ll be down there every evening using it as a stress relief tool!
- Visit the ‘77 Million Paintings’ exhibition in The Studio at the Sydney Opera House. Random, original and constantly evolving, this exhibition is truly marvelous with the imagery appearing 77 million times throughout the festival. Some lucky staff member of mine is going down there to count them!
- Spend some time at Creative Sydney at the MCA. Their program is topical and entertaining and a who’s who of the creative industry will be there. It’ll also be a great opportunity for anyone wanting to become involved with this industry to mingle and chat to those who are. In this town, it’s who you know.
- Get out amongst it and make a day and a night of it. Take in the afternoon show of Laraaji’s Meditation and Laughter workshop at the Sydney Opera House, have an early dinner in the Rocks and go on the Smart Light Sydney Light Walk Guided Tour and end up in the Creative Sydney Salon Bar at the MCA. That’s where we’ll be!
- Definitely go and see Fire Water. A three-day festival recreating our past in a theatrical context. The performance includes the fiery demise of The Three Bees (this version is minus the cannon balls though!).
