Podcasts about vivid festival

For your consideration, here is episode thirteen of "It's a Ponderous Life", the place where I offer you the weekly rantings of a middle aged man trying to come to grips with life, where the wife and kids all have their own lives that don't require me, and I get fist shakingly annoyed at the world as I see it. This week's rant comes in two parts. Firstly, I will regale you with the joys of the communal kitchen of the workplace, and how enjoyably frustrating it can be when no matter what cleaning and tidying is done, the same scene replays over and over each time you return for your next cup of coffee. Secondly, I muse on my own changing weaknesses when it comes to wanting to actually see what is happening in the outside world, and the madness that was on show with the crowds at Sydney's Vivid Festival. So please join me in my quest to get a few things off my chest, in another episodic enlightenment of “It's a Ponderous Life”, right here on Thoughts from the Metal Cavern. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/metalcavern/message

Send me a messageToday's guest is the delightful Jess Miller. Jess has been and remains a totem here in Sydney for many important and successful socially and environmentally impactful campaigns and initiatives - from delivering improved cycling infrastructure in the early 2010s to the Garage Sale Trail to the 202020 Vision or Greener Spaces Better Places program. Add to that a five year side hustle as one of Sydney's youngest ever city councillors, plus mothering and you have the ingredients for someone who is made from audacity and insanity, depending on who you ask and at what stage her visionary process is at.Jess is here is to chat about her upcoming installation at the Vivid Festival in a couple of weeks - A New Normal. This is a fascinating initiative, that has been breaking ground in Melbourne by seemingly taking a product development approach to urban development and planning. Two worlds that are seemingly distinct with very little overlap. As you'll hear in this conversation it's an attempt to transition Sydney to greater self sufficiency, greater environmental stewardship, improving social value outcomes and delivering economic benefits along the way. This work is definitely not for the feint of heart, but just about everything Jess has pursued - from spending her initial year of university in Brazil, to A New Normal - isn't for the usual operator. In many ways A New Normal is the perfect brand for her - outside the usual paradigm of thinking and doing, going from vision to action and doing it with a flare of creativity and spirit of partying along the way.Her energy is infectious and even from just a small amount of time with her she reeled me in with the persuasion, power and potential of what she is doing with A New Normal. She is part humble, part curious, part audacious, part insane. She is going for it though, and what a role model she is at a time when radical and urgent action is a panacea to our challenges but also fears and doubts. I hope you enjoy this one.I'm hosting a very exciting night at Customs House on the 29th of May in Sydney, coincidentally in the middle of the Vivid Festival where the city comes to life in a nightly light show. That night I'm doing my first big house event experience with former NSW Premier and Australian Foreign Minister, plus Friend of The Pod, Bob Carr. On the night we'll be exploring the implications of future climate action when 40% of the world's population is voting in domestic elections in 2024. It's great to be working with a couple of really great operators as part of producing this show.The first is Souling - Natasha Ritz's first book.

Sometimes we can stick to safe formulas while the rest of the world forges ahead with innovative ways for our events. Event producer Nathan Cassar believes this is what's happened to Sydney's Vivid Festival and other events that have not yielded the desired results for attendance, scoring wins for creativity or building community. But all is not lost, with plenty of inspiration around to correct our course, including lessons we can learn from Pokemon Go.Based in Sydney, Australia, Nathan's rich experience has included being a Cruise Director for Princess Cruises, emceeing wedding receptions and leading major awards evening galas. His own awards have included Best Wedding MC by the Wedding Industry Awards (Western Sydney) 2023 & 2022 and Most Entertaining MC (NSW) - Lux-Life Global Excellence Awards 2022.Quotes from this episode:"(I would love to see) the ability to be more bold rather than this wide, wide funnel to try to bring as many people in as possible to take away as much money as you can (through things like) a $22 chips on a stick." "Ask us what we're really capable of because we're already masters of being able to manipulate language and people."Nathan's website:www.nathancassar.com.auConnect with Nathan:Email: mc@nathancassar.com.auLinkedIn: nathan-cassar-master-of-ceremonies-sydneyFB: @nathancassar.mcIG: @nathancassar_mcNathan's image credit: Puzzleman ProductionsConnect with Adelaine:Email: uponarrivalpodcast@gmail.comRecord interviews remotely with Riverside:bit.ly/RecordWithRiversideGet 15% off your subscription with code: AdelaineHost your podcast on Buzzsprout:bit.ly/BuzzsproutGet20AmazonGet $20 Amazon gift card.Edit interviews like a word document with Descript:bit.ly/EditWithDescriptAdelaine's game-changing podcast production AI toolNote: Some links on this page may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission that supports this podcast if you make a purchase through them.

Winter arrived early in Sydney. But the “Vivid Festival” is once again bringing Sydneysiders out of their homes. Every year, numerous visitors travel from all over especially for this play of colours. - In Sydney ist der Winter früh eingezogen. Doch das „Vivid Festival“ holt die Sydneysider auch dieses Jahr wieder aus ihren Häusern. Jedes Jahr reisen zahlreiche Besucher extra für dieses Farbenspiel von überall her an.

Friday May 26 Vivid Sydney lights-up with more than 300 events across Sydney's CBD. There will be pillars of Light, Music, Ideas and Food. The largest festival in Australia, and a favourite for artists, visitors and locals. Vivid Sydney plays a key role in supporting New South Wales economy and promoting creative industries, both nationally and internationally. - Vê êvarê roja Înî 26ê Gulanê Vivid Sydney 2023 bi zêdetirî 300 bûyeran li seranserê CBD (navenda bajêr e bazirganî) ya Sydney ron dibe. Dê stûnên Ronahî, Muzîk, Raman û Xwarin hebin. Festîvala herî mezin ya li Australya, ji bo hunermend, mêvan û niştecîhên bijêr, Vivid Sydney di piştgirîkirina aboriya NSW û pêşvebirina pîşesaziyan de afirîner e, hem neteweyî hem jî navneteweyî, rolek sereke dilîze.

This week we're sharing a conversation we had with waste queen Veena Sahajwalla as part of Vivid Festival 2022. Veena is a trailblazer in the field of recycling science. She heads up the SMaRT Centre at UNSW, and among her epic scientific breakthroughs include perfecting a technique that brings together waste tyres and waste plastic in the production of steel, and waste textiles and waste glass in the manufacturing of ceramics. We love Veena's story and ability to offer very practical solutions to the waste crisis. Her work leads us away from the current take-make-waste industrial towards more circular economies. Big thanks to Vivid for hosting this conversation.

Ahead of their performance as part of Sydney's Vivid Festival, we spoke to multi-instrumentalist Takiaya Reed - she's one half of doom metal band Divide and Dissolve. The band have long held a politic of destroying and dismantling the colonial state, creating sounds that reverberate with this power and spirit. Sara chatted to Takiaya about all this, the depths of their friendship and love for one another, and how this shaped their sound.  Divide and Dissolve will be performing at Carriageworks for Vivid Sydney on Friday June 3rd 6:30pm. You can get tickets and details here.  This episode was hosted by Darren Lesaguis and Sara Khan with special guest Takiaya Reed. It was produced and edited by Shareeka Helaluddin.

Episode 5 of The Grimshaw Podcast ‘The City Series' features Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, Jess Scully. Hosted by Grimshaw's Cities Initiative Lead, Dr. Tim Williams, Episode 5 explores Jess's motivation to move Australia from an extraction economy to a knowledge and creative economy, and her senior leadership role in Australia's largest city during a time of crisis.Prior to entering politics, Jess was a curator of Sydney's VIVID Festival which rapidly became the most important event in the winter calendar with its associated program of cultural and thought leadership talks which explored the context of Sydney's urban situation. So, who better to be elected in 2019 as Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney?Having changed the face of civic politics by advocating for and empowering those who were previously not involved, encouraging them to have a say and to participate in the life of their city, Jess is connecting people with creativity, and preparing communities to take advantage of opportunities. Jess focuses on several key issues in the community including the revitalisation and growth of Sydney's night-time economy, exploring new models to address the housing crisis, nurturing a transition to the workforces and workplaces of the future, and protecting our digital rights in the public realm.Committed to opening up local politics to younger and diverse individuals to expand who plays a role in shaping the life of the city, Jess is also an author of Glimpses of Utopia which dissects how society is rising up to confront our challenges in the world with creativity, resilience and compassion and how harnessing technology and imagination can reshape our world to be fair and sustainable.Join Tim and Jess for a critical conversation on the future of Sydney's creative industries and what this means for Sydney's CBD in the context of a pandemic.

It's hard to believe that this podcast began in 2010. Welcome to a remix of the first recycled Edict -- a compilation of least-worst bits from the early episodes of The 9pm Edict first posted in March 2019.In this episode, there's some nostalgia about Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, the digital economy, Peter Garrett, Sydney's Vivid Festival, NIMBYs, journalism, and more.All the details are at:https://stilgherrian.com/edict/r00001a/Support this podcast at:https://the9pmedict.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/

Como quiera que está concediendo entrevistas a los medios para promoción de la salida del último álbum de Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl no para de dejarnos titulares. Si ayer era que Tom Petty le ofreció ser batería de su banda apenas meses después de la muerte de Kurt Cobain, ahora llega el turno de deshacerse en elogios a su compañero y líder de Nirvana y le califica como el mejor compositor de una generación y que una de sus penas es que no esté aún aquí gestando maravillosas canciones. Y aviso para coleccionistas. Sale a subasta (lo recaudado irá a parar a fines benéficos) por poco más de mil libras un ampli usado por The Cure en un concierto en el Sydney Opera House durante el Vivid Festival de 2018 como parte de la gira de "Disintegration". Novedades internacionales son la canción en que Porridge Radio tienen el apoyo del irlandés Charlie Loane, un tema escrito hace años por Alfie Templeman y un trío de ellas que vienen desde tierras nórdicas. Como el tándem formado por Jenny Hval y Havard Volden con el nombre de Lost Girls; el Ep de debut de Joel Gabrielsson y el noruego Hans Stop detrás de Trees Up North. Novedades de aquí son la versión de The Action que incluyen Octubre en su nuevo EP, lo inmediato de lo que ya tienen cinco temas de Novembre Electric; otro corte más de Vis Viva, el proyecto paralelo de Gorja Arista Fiera; Tulip, que es el tándem de Marta y Oscar y una muestra más de lo que hace Claudia Vega (Orovega). El apartado de recuerdos de la historia del programa se queda de nuevo en sonidos setenteros y aquel "Reflections" de 1971 de la banda emblema del folk rock británico, Pentangle. Escuchar audio

Sarah Tucker takes a trip down under to Sydney’s winter and the annual drama that is the Vivid Festival.    Sydney becomes a living firework for three weeks during the Vivid Festival  www.vividsydney.com (https://www.vividsydney.com/) . due to celebrate its 12th anniversary in 2020.   Known for the best New Year fireworks in the world over Sydney bridge, the festival makes the most of its iconic Opera House and harbour to shower the skies and waters with light and music during the Autumn months of May and June, which is still usually brighter, warmer and dryer than the English early summer.    The opera house ‘sails’ are lit by Andrew Thomas Huang and ‘choreographed’ the wonderfully named Toogie Barcelo, where images and colours merge into others, trees become dragons, stars become street dancers all set on a large scale with the backdrop of the bridge on one side and tropical gardens on the other. The overall effect is like looking at something out of Bladerunner. Concerts boast performances as diverse as Herbie Hancock and The Cure to Underworld and Hayden James. (sydneyoperahouse.com)   Spend a week or two around the city centre and interesting suburbs of Redfern and Chippendale, made infamous by the indigenous demonstrations against marginalisation in 2018 where ‘gentrification’ of the area marginalised the indigenous people who lived there.  The demonstrations have gone but there is still ill feeling towards a government that continues to ignore the rights of the people who were there before the English arrived.  Its not banker country yet, but the students and creatives (the artists, poets, authors) have moved in, and with them brought colour and gentle renovation to the area. I took a trip with culture tours guide Greg (http://www.culturescouts.com.au), who is a colourful artist living in the area and walked round the streets, walls covered with dramatic and beautiful murals, intriguing internationally recognised art galleries and funky restaurants housed in buildings which were abattoirs, breweries and gangsters.  It has a San Francisco edge about it, with its incredible architecture and heritage buildings, a far cry from the sand and surfing Sydney.  Neighbouring Chippendale has recently undergone urban transformation, with sky scrapers with the largest walled gardens in the world, and areas which look as though they’ve been there for decades only to be told it’s a few years.  Art Deco hotels which wouldn’t look out of place in Miami, and a china town which looks as established as our own but is only a few years old, make this tour a must do for anyone wanting an alternative Sydney.   It may not have the culture and street symmetry of Melbourne, but it's Melbourne that has a chip on its shoulder about Sydney – not the other way round.    Vivid is not just about fireworks, light shows and music.  There are plenty of bright sparks in human form giving talks during the festival.  Vivid Ideas offers future facing talks, hands on workshops and industry shaping forums.  The year I was there I watched game changers Spike Lee and Ester Perel speak to hundreds challenging the assumptions on race and relationships. I listened to Dr Stefan Hajkowicz, an internationally talk about the dark net and digital future.  And another group of five women talking how science has shaped their life as marine archeologists (why the Titanic will never rise), forensic scientists in zoos (wildlife crime is the fasting growing global crime), and astro physicists showing how and why the stars above our heads at night ‘fall in love’. Fascinating and important stuff.    If you want a break from the city, head out two hour drive to wine region of Hunter Valley and stay at the Chateau Elan (http://www.chateauelan.com.au). Visit the nearby vineyards of Brokenwood (brokenwood.com.au), Tulloch (tullochwines.com) and my personal favourite Usher Tinkler wines (http://www.ushertinklerwines.com) - small but perfectly formed and with a pub buzz and playing Home Cooking by DJ Yoda while you taste the tipple.  Ask for Luke Mulligan to talk you through the wines. An epic experience.    Stay sober enough for an early morning (five am) rise to balloon flight 800 kilometres at 2800 feet above the vineyards and kangaroos (www.balloonaloft.com). Watch the mist rise and colours scorch the sky, and then head to the Peterson House restaurant for full English (vege option) with local bubbles. It is the most haunting, mesmeric experience, and the Hunter Valley morning sky shows just how nature creates the best fireworks of its own should we choose to get up early enough.  Ask for Sam to be your guide and the purple and green balloon (they have a pink one too).    If you prefer to have your fun down on the ground, visit Port Stephens and the largest moving coastal sandmass in the Southern Hemisphere. Take a camel ride at dusk (Oakfield Ranch Camel Rides.com, or quad bikes (sandduneadventures.com.au) over the dunes.  Take a glance at the ocean along the beach, where you’ll see dolphins, whales and in season, lots of Great Whites (a tourist was eaten there last Christmas).    Vivid is designed to make you smile and dance, to make you think deeper and more creatively open your eyes with its light and music but it’s the landscape and seascape which is the real cool of the vivid experience.    Sarah stayed at the Four Seasons (http://www.fourseasons.com/Sydney) hotel and Ovolo (http://www.ovolohotels.com.au/ovolowoolloomooloo/) , both a boomerang away from the Opera House and Botanical Gardens.  For details of the Vivid Festival, visit www.vividsydney.com (https://www.vividsydney.com/) .

Capacity building within Aboriginal nations has been identified as a vital step forward in progressing Treaty negotiations in Victoria.

While he is best known as an academy award winning director of the two greatest grossing films of all time, in this conversation recorded at the Vivid Festival in 2018, James Cameron would much rather speak about the engineering challenges involved in designing, building and piloting a vessel to the lowest point at the bottom of the sea.
