Different performance worlds across the Gold Coast
BLEACH* Festival's 2024 programme used the Gold Coast's outdoor spaces as settings for music, dance, circus and visual art. Krank'd's work covered three parts of that wider programme: WAYFINDERS: A Pacific Journey, PLAYBOOK by Gravity & Other Myths, and SPEAKEASY.
WAYFINDERS brought Pasifika voices into a large choral performance on a floating pontoon. PLAYBOOK used contemporary circus and acrobatics to explore the pace of life, while SPEAKEASY provided an outdoor bar and live-vocal setting within the festival. The productions differed in both physical scale and the way audiences encountered them.
Lighting supply across several festival formats
Krank'd supplied the lighting for these performances and settings. The package supported work on the water, physical performance and a more intimate live-music environment, across several distinct festival locations.
Each setting brought its own relationship between performer, audience and surrounding space. The photographs document those different contexts, from the floating platform to the festival's grounded performance areas. This entry covers our supply for the three named parts of BLEACH* 2024; we returned in 2025 for projects including Cavalcade and Drum As You Are.
