ArtSounds in the Renew HQ [24.06.2010]

As part of ART SOUNDS and in conjunction with L!vesites' Winter Heat, we’ve invited four local artists to re invent the sacred space of the old St Marks Catholic Chapel with site-specific works to warm the soul and enchant the heart.

In the Renew HQ Church from 7 til 8pm on Friday 2 July The Midwinter Sacrament offers you spicy mulled wine, moody fog and candlelit quiet for you to …

Witness! Ivy Ireland, the Caged Angel, ruminating from the Confession Booths via string harp, poetry & Hair-Rock covers from the 80’s and 90’s.

Wonder! Mystic storytelling in 2D, crafted by Danger Boy’s magical shadow puppetry.

Ponder! A Mystic poet’s chamber in 3D, styled by Jessika Schaad’s sculptural installation of alchemical curios.

Believe! Casio Gloria, that bent performance poet of electronica, twists the sacred strings of her violin. Not for the faint of heart!

ART SOUNDS is a magical musical walking tour around Newcastle city cultural spaces. The Full Program for Friday 2 July begins:

6pm at The Loft Youth & Cultural Venue, 7a Wolfe St Newcastle

7pm at Renew HQ, 3 Morgan St Newcastle

8pm at The Lock-up Cultural Centre, 100 Hunter St Newcastle

Join in while you walk between venues, as we will be guided with some energetic song and movement by the Sudanese Equatoria Women’s Choir and L!vesites Winter Heat fire installations, fire breathing and performance. See the flyer for more detail.

ART SOUNDS is facilitated by Newcastle City Council and also takes place in other venues on Friday 16 July. Details can be found on the Council website.

L!vesites Winter Heat installs fire and light sculpture around the city to warm up the dark winter nights. Winter Heat takes place on Friday 2, Saturday 10, Friday 16 and Saturday 24 July. See the website or flyer for more detail. (L!vesites’ Winter Heat event on July 10 has been postponed to July 31 due to wet weather concerns.)
