OLD THREAD about Woodford

STOP PRESS

***

Well, hello hello
Woodford Folk Festival is going to be BRILLIANT this year! I've just come back from the Organisers Group Meeting/ Programme Launch totally excited

The site looks sooo beautiful, more spacious and green, and the lineup of acts and performers is just, really *stunning*... 300 different events every DAY!!! for the 6 days; it is the best lineup I have ever seen in my 13 years there (including YES, the Cat Empire!)

AND.... TWO CIRCUS venues: the *Palace* for performances all day, and a brand new space: *Circadia*, in a magnificent spot in the heart of the festival, totally for workshops, including EVERY NIGHT with TePOOKa, other great spinners, and plenty of space and time for !! JUGGLE JAM !! space!!! PLAYTIME at UberWoodford!!


OK is that enough! Get the idea!! Get the tickets organised peoples, or volunteer (plenty of places left) for 5 hrs a day in return for a free ticket...and come on up... it is gonna be WONDERFUL!!

Nice one Gabe! that's ace!

I'll be there

Now, the second thing is getting yourself a ticket...

This year the ticket sales have been capped... for the first time ever. If you want to come, buy your ticket


Day tix will be released in November.

The prices may sound high but remember it is for 6 days and it is a huge festy with amazing diversity. It's like about 10 festivals happening concurrently.

The other way to come is as a volunteer in which case you work for 5 hours a day and have the rest of your time to play... the application process is all online now, so go for it! (Tilly who does Camp Wardens has a post a few down from this)

bugger, I can't get out of work for it. Grrrrr

if anyone wants to be a 'Happy Camper' (camp warden) i am managing the volunteers for this department.

the job involves being out in the camp grounds and talking to patrons, most of whom are pretty excted to be there and happy to do as asked.

one advantage of working here (apart from the other marvelous people) is that if you can come up early (i.e xmas eve or xmas day), and don't mind working long hours on boxing day and the first day of the fest, you can actually work the majority of you hours in those first 2 days, which means you get more time during the fest. which means more time for and
i would love to have HoPpers on the team as everyone i have through gabe are awesome!

you will still need to apply via the volunteers website , but let me know who you are and i'll keep an eye out when i a processing the applications

tilly

awwwww...i wanna go!! dangit...maybe next year...

i'll be in sydney for christmas then onto melburp & the falls festival!! so i won't even be in qld when woodford is on for the first time in...a bloody long time!!

!!!!!!!!!

i found out last night that i got accepted as a volunteer

so i be a happy little phearie
looking foward to lots of

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay April

I'll be there, as usual. Got my tix way back when

Are you performing Miss Pixie ? or free to play all day??

... is that not the same question? hehehe and YES!!! Yippy!!!

I'm performing solo this year... a first for this little pixie (the rest of the tribe is off gallavanting in hamalton island!) ...so I'm doing my own thing with some yummy wearable art stilt roving...

...and I'd be well up for callaborating with other fire performers too if anyone's keen ???

and and and I will most deffinately spend some time at the juggle jam spin space

yay, it's almost woodford time again,
Wisp will be there performing again... though this time, we have our actual troupe going instead of having to throw a troupe together of groovy HOPpers at the last minute!!

Weeeeeeee!
So who else is performing / going?!!!

top schtupfff newgabe! it must be such a coup for you to get a space happenin!

Unfortunately It seesm as though our propossal for Woodford wasnt accepted by the commitee. I am however hoping to be part of Te Pooks thing, although We are not sure of entry for the rest of Solar (another 3).
So if any group is looking for 4 professional performers to be part of their thing please let me know. I am really looking forward to Woodford, but cant really leave the rest of my troup out in the 'cold' I doubt its gonna be that!!
