TWIST - A night of audiovisual improvisational fun
CuriousWorks is a charity that works with disadvantaged communities around Australia. Twist is their way of connecting with and supporting the community.
“Each month we gather some of the most talented independent musicians and artists in Sydney showcasing their collective talents in our uniquely welcoming studio. Money raised is split equally between our charity and the independent artists that perform.
So please come along and relax on the couches; meet new friends; devour the delicious home-made curry; and let your senses be nourished.”
Images will be presented to a group of improvising musicians.
They respond with music. The jam begins.
In turn, VJ’s will respond to this music with their own images, mixed live.
Live illustrations will also be drawn.
