Polymath Live Extravaganza
Posted by admin | Filed under Design, Music, Video
Last year I set out on a mission. A mission to create a live show to knock the socks off the local music fans. I’d set up a band called Polymath the previous November and we’d had some interest but were fed up of playing shitty venues across the country and wanted to do fewer shows but make them more impressive. So we came up with the Live Extravaganza.
The idea hinged upon collaboration with other artists in a show that had music, art, video and animation. We collaborated with live art company The Mischief Makers, animator Lateral Lines and eclectic musos The Dust Collectors. We rehearsed and prepared for months and when the night came – a barmy sunny May evening – it went down a storm. Everyone who came loved the show, it was a huge success.
The show was a huge undertaking. We had cinema screen projections, professional live sound provided by Audiorent (highly recommended), set design, costumes and make-up. All of this had to be sorted within budget and on time. It was pretty intense but the rewards far outweighed any stress!
