Darrio Phillips Syd Festival First Night


Darrio Manifest Phillips representing Krumping along with several various other dancers & dance styles @ The Sydney Festival’s First Night in The Brooke Andrew’s production “Traveling Colony”

January 7th 2012

Travelling Colony is a major new work by Brook Andrew, whose interdisciplinary arts practice travels internationally. For two decades this celebrated artist has been creating astonishing interventions into history through installation and interactive monuments, playfully seducing audiences into new ways of seeing compelling issues of race, consumerism and history.

Inspired by his Wiradjuri tradition, the circus and pop culture, Andrew has created a cavalcade of dazzling handpainted caravans in the huge industrial foyer of Carriageworks. Enter each of the caravans in Travelling Colony and immerse yourself in the stories of Redfern - its personalities, struggles and community.
Through this whirling zig-zag of caravans, archival footage, reflections and projections, visitors will be inspired by the histories of Redfern.

See them at Sydney Festival First Night from 7pm @ Macquarie Street Sydney for more information
