OVER two Saturday evenings this month, Ballarat Winter Festival and Ballarat Frolic Festival will unite to present exciting cabaret showcases.<\/p>\n

With burlesque, singing, drag and more, focussing on the avant-garde, anything is possible, and the two nights will not be the same.<\/p>\n

Ballarat Frolic Festival\u2019s Jay Morrison said the showcases have been curated by their host, Nellie Minelli, and will be simply fabulous and very inclusive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ran these last year for the first time and we\u2019re bringing them back because they were so successful. We ended up filling the space so much, people were sitting on the floor, and we reached capacity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of local cabaret artists and performers who don\u2019t get as much exposure as they deserve. There is a bit of a gap here, we\u2019ve identified. There used to be the Cabaret Festival in town, that closed and left.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2018, more new and experienced performers expressed their interest in working with Ballarat Frolic Festival, now in its third year. Mr Morrison knew it was time to find new avenues for this talent to be seen and heard throughout the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a real community organisation. This event is about making sure there\u2019s an LGBTI presence during regular festival events during the year that Ballarat has, like the Ballarat Winter Festival,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all about making sure that everybody is included, and that includes everybody age wise. Some people think that we\u2019re just for young people, we\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

\u201cA cabaret event like this is for anybody over the age of 18. This festival is for you, it\u2019s for everybody. It\u2019s not just a bunch of young people, we\u2019re for the whole community,\u201d Mr Morrison said.<\/p>\n

For young, fresh Drag artist, HollyPop, the Winter Festival brings an opportunity to get some more stage time.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrag is still very new to me and having the opportunity to polish my drag craft in front of audiences is invaluable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this year\u2019s cabaret I\u2019m intending to really showcase my talent and experience to give everyone a fabulous and fun show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ballarat Frolic Festival will flirt with Ballarat Winter Festival on Saturday, 6 July and Saturday, 13 July at The Printers Room from 7pm to 11pm.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices are between $10 and $20, and all minors must be accompanied by an adult. More information is available at frolicfestival.org\/events<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The full week-long Ballarat Frolic Festival program is coming up in November. The festival is a not-for-profit, volunteer run event promoting LGBTIQA+ regional arts and culture. The group pays their performers.<\/p>\n

During Ballarat Heritage Weekend, 700 local people experienced the Ballarat Frolic Festival team\u2019s queer history exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
