GEELONG After Dark\u2019s third round of program highlights has been released, promising an exciting mix of unique and surprising performances, installations and arts experiences this May.
\nThe annual multi-award winning event will transform Central Geelong\u2019s streets, laneways and venues, in a night of discovery on May 6 between 6pm and 10pm.
\nCity of Greater Geelong Arts and Culture councillor Andy Richards said this latest announcement of program highlights included plans for City Hall to be transformed (via projection) into a living musical instrument, a popup performance from an internationally celebrated operatic soprano, a whacky murder mystery radio serial and a roaming duo of branded bodies called \u201cBrand Me Baby\u201d.
\n\u201cAt Geelong After Dark this year, see City Hall in a new light, with some fantastic new projection art from Matt Bonner and some of the region\u2019s talented projection artists,\u201d Cr Richards said.
\n\u201cInternationally celebrated operatic soprano Wendy Grose will harness the power of air (this year\u2019s theme), in an inspiring pop-up performance, planned for a currently undisclosed location.
\n\u201cAudiences will love On-Air, a whacky murder mystery radio serial preformed by five talented Geelong writers and artists in the style of 1940s pre-TV entertainment.
\n\u201cA roaming duo of branded bodies called Brand Me Baby will also hit the streets \u2013 exploring the commodification of digital intimacy and enticing viewers to \u2018brand\u2019 their bodies with badges of pixelated logos.\u201d
\nCr Richards said Geelong After Dark, now in its third year, saw thousands of people converge in Central Geelong after dusk to discover some of the region\u2019s most edgy arts experiences, placed in some of the most unusual places.
\n\u201cIn 2016, we will have over 50 artists and arts groups (totalling more than 200 people) participating in a program of intriguing arts experiences, which will delight, inspire and be enjoyed by all,\u201d Cr Richards said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
