GROUP

WELCOME
The Tasmanian Government is proud to
again support the Junction Arts Festival
celebrating its sixth year and now an
established event on the artistic and
cultural events calendar.
Tasmanias ongoing appeal as a destination
relies upon the type of creativity,
imagination and innovation that the
Junction Arts Festival captures.
By innovatively using Launceston landmarks
as its stage, encouraging audience
participation, and by supporting a unique
experience of live performance, dance,
theatre, music and installation art Junction
has drawn over 280,000 attendees over its
past five Festivals into the city. It also gives
locals from across the State the chance to
experience a rich cultural experience in the
beautiful city of Launceston.
Congratulations to the staff, Board,
sponsors and volunteers on six great years
of Junction. Im thrilled to see Junction Arts
Festivals growth and journey into a new
direction.

I am delighted to again introduce Junction

Arts Festival for 2016 now in its sixth year.
Launceston is a great city to host such an
exciting and diverse event.
The Junction Arts Festival is highly regarded
by the City of Launceston as a significant
contributor to the cultural, social and
economic wealth of the community. The
festival plays an integral role in engaging
young people in Launceston and its
surrounding regions in creative processes
and incredible performances.
The Festival is one of the City of
Launcestons signature events and I would
like to thank the dedicated and passionate
team who make this Festival possible.
Welcome to Junction Arts Festival 2016.
Alderman Albert van Zetten
MAYOR, LAUNCESTON

illuminations, public art, music and dance.
The Festival transforms Launceston into
a more vibrant and creative city through
community engagement and providing the
city with an exciting and dynamic event each
spring.
I would like to acknowledge the significant

Tasmania, the Launceston City Council, WD

PRINCES SQUARE

THE FOUNTAIN BAR

For this one special time of the year

Junction will light up the beautiful and
historic 19th century Princes Square
transforming it into a night garden of
sparkling lights, illuminations and art
experiences for everyone. Come and see
the Squares two giant Sequoias, amazing
oak and elm trees, and stunning French
designed Val dOsne Fountain, all drenched
in beautiful washes of light and colour.

Located in the heart of Princes Square and

designed within a wonderful old circus tent
is the Festivals new Fountain Bar. Featuring
an outdoor area by the Fountain, live music,
a great line-up of DJs and special events this
will be the perfect spot to start your Festival
experience, under the stars, drink in hand.

Princes Square has an extraordinary history

as a place of celebration, bush-ranger
hangings, protests, visits by British Royalty,
and was the site for the declaration to end
convict transportation to Van Diemens
Land. In 2016, its history takes another
exciting turn, as it becomes Junctions
Festival village featuring shows, the fabulous
Fountain Bar, pop-up food stalls, art
installations, music, kids activities and live

VILLAGE

Brienna Macnish with Clare

McCracken & Robert D Jordan
Created in collaboration with the residents
of Launcestons retirement communities,
VILLAGE takes you past the manicured
lawns and behind the lace curtains to
discover what life in a retirement village
is really like. VILLAGE is the sequel to
HOME (Next Wave Festival, 2014) and part
of a triology of works that explore aging
in contemporary Australia. This audio
installation tells very personal stories about
downsizing, the fear of being burdensome
and new beginnings in old age with humor
and fierce optimism.

BE CHARMED AND ENLIGHTENED...

CAN YOU SEE WHAT WE SEE?
Renae Shadler & Collaborators

Can You See What We See? is an

interdisciplinary walking tour inviting
you to see Launceston from a travellers
perspective. During the tour you will
experience audio works, video installations
and participatory activities that encourage
you to experience Launceston through fresh
eyes. Can You See What We See? makes
the familiar unfamiliar by investigating our
relationship to place, time and those around
us through the context of travel. Inspired
by Alain de Bottons The Art of Travel this
experience will encourage you to walk
slower, think deeper and engage in your
environment in ways you never expected.
Can You See What We See? will bring Renae
Shadler and Collaborators together with
local artists to create this one-of-a-kind
experience, finding beauty in everyday
spaces and highlighting Launcestons hidden
gems and histories.

performance investigating the choreography

THOUSANDS
Matthew Day

Thousands, the first work in The Trilogy

Series attempts to locate a kind of degree
zero of choreography. Utilising microscopic
movement, the body is approached as a site
of re-membering.
Thousands opens an associative space
where the spectator is free to drift and
continually re-position themselves,
in relation to the work over time. The
choreographic field therefore is imagined
as an energetic and perceptual exchange,
between all human and inhuman forces of
the work.

Days performance is a
physically gruelling exercise
in stillness.
