From a bicycle-powered karaoke machine and an interactive model railway to a performative walk in memory of deceased and departed canine companions, Launceston’s Junction Arts Festival has an obvious and engaging focus on live arts experiences.
‘There are obviously a number of organisations in Australia that present and develop live arts practice, but there’s definitely space in that field to support the development of it, and most certainly here in Tasmania,’ said Natalie De Vito, Junction Arts Festival’s Executive Director and Artistic Director, discussing the festival’s live arts focus.
