th<\/sup> September, 2012. This exciting event is accompanied by many local film festivals and the streets are lined with various colorful and lighted stalls that allow you to sample unique creations and observe different types of crafts. Street performers of all shapes and sizes come out to display their talent in impromptu styles. These street performers are an entertainment to watch as it is but this doesn\u2019t mean there will not be any other type of entertainment. There will be plenty of musical concerts held all over town and famous dance troupes are invited to come and perform at different theatres and you can take your pick as to what you like.<\/p>\nThe locals are the biggest contributors in the entertainment as the theme of the festival is \u201cEntertainment for the people by the people\u201d. This was the theme of the original Warana Festival of 1961 which has inspired this festival. The festival now has different weeks assigned for different activities, for example one week will focus on theatre and will be called the drama festival and include eisteddfod, also a writers week, and colonial styled balls, initially it included a beauty pageant, various sporting, religious and outdoor activities. This however has changed over the years and the concentration is solely on all forms of art. The main theme is to now showcase the risky, the dangerous, the edgy, the quirky, the sometimes offbeat and the unthinkable.<\/p>\n
Work is drawn from all art forms including visual arts, music and performance. Their unique choice of spaces helps to deepen the conversation between all audiences and art. This helps to provide a completely new way to look at the existing spaces in Brisbane. The artists are encouraged to expose what they believe is the unspoken, underrepresented and of course the unconventional. This entire festival is basically and opportunity for all Brisbane Festival audiences to interact and completely engage with a multitude o different versions of art and art making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
