OPENING NIGHT CELEBRATIONS
Welcome to the fantastic
program of events for the
2013 Junction Arts Festival.
This year’s Festival promises
to once again bring the
delights of contemporary
art, music and performance
to the heart of the city of
Launceston.
A key part of Junction’s success has been its
ability to outreach and enable opportunities for
people to actively participate in unique, sitespecific performances that place the audience at
the centre of the experience.
Junction creates and inspires innovative
collaborations and leverages tourism and
business opportunities that extend beyond the
five days of the Festival.
Over the past three years, Junction Arts Festival
has significantly grown and established itself
in Launceston, continuing its focus to present
world-class performances for the people of
Tasmania and its visitors.
The Tasmanian Government is pleased to continue
supporting Junction Arts Festival and I encourage
you to participate in this outstanding event.
Enjoy the show!
Lara Giddings
Premier, Tasmania

THE ARRIVALS LOUNGE & CAFÉ
Make the Arrivals Lounge your first stop at this year’s Festival.
Relax and enjoy great coffee and fresh gourmet meals by Garden of
Vegan and ABakery.
Soak up the sun on lounge chairs, beanbags, or grab a café table and
relax the afternoon and evening away with a coffee or glass of wine.
It’s the perfect place to meet and mingle with friends and family, or
stop by before or after a performance.
DATE/TIME
It has been an absolute privilege
to inherit the role of Chairman and
President of Junction Arts Festival
after just a short time on the Board.
What you’re holding in your
hands is a roadmap to some
of our state’s finest arts
practitioners.
You would be astounded with how a
festival of this magnitude runs on such
lean resources. It comes down to three
things; dedicated and hard-working
staff and leadership by Natalie De Vito
our Festival Director, the amazing
generosity of our wonderful festival volunteers, and the
committed work of our incredibly high calibre, purely
volunteer board.
Yes, the Junction Arts Festival
has rolled into town for 2013,
and promises to be another
tour de force of sight, sound
and colour.
Unbridled thanks must be extended to our sponsors and
supporters who’s financial and in-kind contribution enables
us to present such a exciting, diverse, collaborative and
participatory program.
Our city becomes a truly dynamic and rich environment
in which to live when events like Junction, and the other
wonderful sporting, musical and artistic events are held to
engage and capture the imagination of the visitors to our
city and those of us who live here.
I hope this year’s Festival brings you joy, intrigues you,
challenges you, inspires you and makes you feel something
that you may not have experienced before!
Steve Henty
Chair, Junction Arts Festival
The Launceston City Council is a very proud
supporter of this event, which has grown
significantly in the past three years and is now
firmly established as a vibrant, creative and
exciting artistic showcase for Tasmania.
The council is committed to developing quality
events in the region which take advantage of our
dynamic cultural sector.
Along with its importance as a fun event for the
wider community, this event also allows our own
creative and innovative people to display their
talents to a large audience.
It also allows those artists to meet other likeminded people, to be inspired, to learn new
techniques, and new ways of thinking.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you the
reader to this year’s Junction Arts Festival. I hope
you’ll be inspired.

DOGS AND BOATS AND AIRPLANES
CHILDREN’S CHOIR Bill Burns and Big Pond Small Fish (Toronto, Canada)
Commissioned and produced by Junction Arts Festival
Enter the world of children’s thoughts. Laugh
out loud to a funny, non-verbal, outstanding
choral performance.
Dogs and Boats and Airplanes Children’s Choir
is the world premiere of a collaborative artwork
performed by a children’s choir of 100 voices. This
Choir simulates non-verbal sounds of animals and
the industrialised world, composed entirely of
vocalisations of the sounds of dogs and boats and
airplanes, playing with the traditional verbal narrative
of a choral work as well as 20th century sound art,
and challenging what the subject of art can be.
This participatory project engages 100 local
children aged 8-12 in the creation of the story, or
libretto, of the choral work. Another 50 children
create the background art set: visual props, floats,
dramatic set and lighting design presented on
stage and culminating in a live public performance
entirely devised and created by them.
The Choir is made up of students from Mowbray
Heights Primary, Ravenswood Heights Primary,
Scotch Oakburn College Junior School and
St. Leonards Primary.
“A DOG WALKS ALONG THE BEACH, GOES
FOR A SWIM, COMES OUT OF THE WATER,

ONE DAY TWICE Mudlark Theatre (Launceston)
Produced by Mudlark Theatre in association with Junction Arts Festival
Defying impossibility and risking failure in
exchange for the adrenalin-rush of breathtaking
success, Mudlark Theatre tests the limits of
creativity under an unbelievable deadline.
For One Day Twice, Mudlark Theatre presents
four new and distinct performances over two
unstoppable and break-neck 24-hour events at two
very out-of-the-ordinary venues.
Mudlark challenges its artists to high-octane
performances Junction-style: secret performance
venues, unusual spaces, unorthodox stage design,
electric performers, gob-smacked audiences, live
music, and more.
Playwrights write all night and hand over new
scripts to the directors and actors who start
rehearsal at 7am, and the production crew steps in
mid-afternoon. The lights go up and the scripts go
down when the audience arrives at 8pm.
“OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES, SOME

OUTLANDISH IDEAS, CLEVER DIRECTION…

WATCH ME FALL Action Hero (Bristol, UK)
A WESTERN Action Hero (Bristol, UK)
Watch Me Fall is for the daredevils. It questions our
obsession with those who attempt the impossible,
the futility of their attempts and their inevitable fall
from grace.
It is an intimate, yet epic, performance that
explores the relationship between audience and
event, the nature of risk and the complicity of the
audience in increasingly violent and questionable
acts in the name of entertainment.
“If at any point you see me on fire, don’t try and
help, just stand well back and wait for my own
people to be there.” - Action Hero
Sit back and watch them fall - the degree of
interaction is up to you, but fun is guaranteed in the
Australian premiere of a thrilling, thought-provoking
miniaturisation of macho American daredevilry.
Action Hero’s performance draws on footage of
Evel Knievel jumps, interviews with Niagara Falls
daredevils, the speeches of American Presidents and
transcripts from Chuck Yeager’s supersonic flights.
They go over in a barrel and hit the ramp at 144
km/h. They clear 10 double-decker buses and they
are not stopping until every last son-of-a-bitch in the
place is cheering them on.
Together with their audience, in their Australian
premiere, Action Hero reclaims the chaotic halfarsed Western as our own and celebrates the
failure of generic heroes, cheap whores and the
all-American idol. The Hero walks into the bar
and everyone stops talking. The whore begs to be
loved. The Hero dies a long and drawn-out death.
Action Hero is looking for an audience to
make A Western together. Come and be part of
a performance FOR a bar where Action Hero will
locate the valley, the saloon and the empty street
within the space. Join them and cheat at cards, beg
the Hero to love you, and shoot them down. There is
ketchup blood. They wear cowboy hats.

THE STREAM / THE BOAT / THE SHORE / THE BRIDGE
Dan Koop & Co. (Melbourne)
Produced by Junction Arts Festival
The Stream / The Boat / The Shore / The Bridge
is a live public artwork along and across the
North Esk River.
Dan Koop returns to Launceston to ask a raft
of hard questions while journeying overland and
voyaging in a rowboat. Inspired by “what if?”
scenarios and lateral thinking puzzles, participants
make their own journey around and over the North
Esk River.
With events and activities at each site, you
contribute your thoughts, choices and actions to
decide how best to cross the river and reach the
city. See the site through new eyes from unexpected
vantage points, to create an imaginative overlay
upon a city space. You are invited to converse and
reflect about how to use and share limited resources
whilst enjoying a new perspective of the city from
the water, an experience that will change the way
you see Launceston.
“THE WORK ASKS THE AUDIENCE TO GIVE
AS MUCH OF THEMSELVES TO THE WORK AS
THEY HOPE TO GET OUT OF IT, AND KOOP
PLAYS WONDERFULLY WITH THE BALANCE
OF PUSHING PAST BARRIERS WITHOUT
CAUSING DISCOMFORT.”

PERFORMANCE / INTERACTIVE
Returning after sold-out performances at Junction
2012, en route is a pedestrian-based live art
experience, meticulously designed to unfold
a love- letter to Launceston, revealing a space
where the public and the private, the imaginative
and the concrete, intersect.
Guided by directions and instructions made up
of snippets of narrative, musings, music, dialogue
and philosophy using audio, mobile phone
communication, urban streetscapes, walking,
passers-by and cafés, en route is a seductive solo
journey through the city and often, the hearts, minds
and perceptions of the participants.
en route has been presented at some of the
largest festivals and events in the world including the
London Cultural Olympiad 2012, Edinburgh Fringe
Festival 2010, and Adelaide Fringe Festival 2010.

Launceston LINC and Migrant Resource
Centre Northern Tasmania (Launceston)
Produced and presented by Junction Arts Festival
After its 2012 packed out debut, the Launceston
LINC’s ever popular baby and toddler program
Rock & Rhyme and Storytime take up residence
in the magical space of The Junc Room. For
2013, Junction brings together LINC Tasmania in
collaboration with the MRC Northern Tasmania
to create a cross-cultural event.
Rock & Rhyme and Storytime transform and
celebrate songs, rhymes and stories in English
incorporating diverse cultures and languages
of recent refugees and new migrants to our
Launceston community from Bosnia, Bhutan,
Burma, Nepal and African communities including
Sierra Leone, Sudan and elsewhere.
The performance is an interactive session for
parents and carers and their babies and pre-schoolers,
and includes songs, nursery rhymes, stories, musical
instruments and lots of actions. Singing, reading and
repeating rhymes with babies and children helps to
develop their listening, memory and vocabulary skills,
supporting educational development.
TEMPORARY
PLAYGROUND
Temporary Playground is just that, a temporary
playground for toddlers installed in Civic Square,

In 1961, an accident during secret state
government testing released some dangerous
poems into the Launceston community. These
poems have never been found though many
have tried valiantly, often in very dangerous
circumstances. Many rumours have abounded as to
where they might be hiding and now, in 2013, The
Cold Volcanoes believe they may be on the cusp of
solving this decades-old dilemma.
CrazySpokenWeird is an experience of poetry
on the move. Follow a local coalition of three
wordsmiths and musicians, otherwise known as The
Cold Volcanoes, as they word their way through
the nooks and crannies of the city, putting poetry
performance on site, and within sight. Expect
projections of voice and imagery from unexpected
alcoves, bridges and fittings.

Enter the world of imaginary beings.
Taking inspiration from Jorge Luis Borges’
iconic ‘Book of Imaginary Beings’ which contains
descriptions of over 120 mythical creatures from
folklore and literature, The Beep Test of Imaginary
Beings pits these imaginary beings against each
other in a full-throttle, heart-pumping series of beep
test competitions staged in public places around
Launceston’s CBD.
Audience members are invited to take on an
imaginary being and run the beep test, as live witty
commentary covers the thrilling ridiculousness of
Gryphon versus Minotaur versus Unicorn, as these
imaginary beasts attempt to complete the infamous
(and mostly hated) multi-stage fitness test.
Local students, and members of the Migrant
Resource Centre and Northern Suburbs Community
Centre’s Senior’s Club collaborate to create the
costumes.
Who is fit enough to join Tasmania’s police force

Sit in the traditional support group circle where
all those who are willing to share their limitations
are welcome.
Ignoramus Anonymous is the space to ask
questions and receive support for all that we do
not know or understand, including something from
the news or current affairs, or even your recent trip
to MONA.
Bring YOUR dog to Royal Park and compete
in Junction’s inaugural Dog Show!

THE
JUNC ROOM
Join us at our Festival Club, Launceston’s
hottest annual pop-up live music venue,
The Junc Room.
Transforming Launceston’s Civic Square
with a big, bright, Big Top Circus Tent,
walk through the curtain door and enter
into an imaginary world and magical era,
long-passed.
Bursting at the seams with performances
featuring some of Tasmania’s hottest acts,
and some of Australia’s soon-to-be super
chargers, The Junc Room is the place to
soak it all in, hear great music, meet artists
and best of all, celebrate the Festival.
Get up close and personal in a seat near
the stage, grab a café table and sit and
enjoy the show, or relax and stand at the
bar and take in the night.
Open daily during the Festival until late,
The Junc Room features a fully licensed
bar amongst a host of other delicious
meals on offer at our Arrivals Lounge
& Café.
Come for a show with the family, or meet
your friends and stay for the night. The
Junc Room welcomes everyone, including
families and children.

ASHLEY BIRD
Ashley has raided his all-encompassing,
eclectic vinyl collection and dragged a bunch
of it down to the Club. Dance, sing, and
wonder who the hell this one is! Old familiars,
new versions. Immerse in Ashley’s musical
session trivia style.
Emerging local charm Elliot is a true folk
musician who seeks personal, heartfelt
stories and stitches them together with his
gorgeous melodic guitar lines. Listen in and
allow his dream-like acoustic narratives and
soulful vocals to transport you to places and
spaces you forgot you knew. Sincere lyrics
to enjoy over a glass of wine.
7:30PM—8:15PM
LULU AND THE
PAIGE-TURNERS
Come and solve the mystery. Who is Lulu?
Lulu Paige-Turner’s performance has been
compared to Amanda Palmer’s and her
voice to Regina Spektor’s. We’re thrilled to
be hosting the premiere in the North of
Lulu, one of Hobart’s best secrets. Musical
virtuosity, incredible vocal courage, and an
invigorating theatricality that gets the joint
jumping. Don’t miss it!
9PM—9:45PM
TIGER CHOIR
This three piece Hobart band is back from
their US trip for Junction with their unique,
otherworldly and ambient math tones,
kinetic percussion and start-stop dynamics.
Come and get your dose of feel good pop
eclecticism.
9PM—9:45PM
GUTHRIE
Their frank and idiosyncratic electric
Australian blues invoke songs of love, murder,
addiction, redemption, lust, longing and loss
from these southern men. Experience their
incendiary live show. Pounding drums, loud
guitar and a voice larger than life, Guthrie is
dark and magnificent. Brace yourself!

BISCOTTI
Born and raised in Melbourne, Biscotti
is a unique beat producer and multiinstrumentalist. Biscotti’s lyrics paint a vivid
picture of Melbourne’s seedy underground
and sub-culture. Tougher than Missy Elliot,
more alternative than M.I.A. and could
probably beat Snoop Dogg in an arm wrestle.

JOHN JOHNSON &
THE JOHNSONS
Spiralling out of control from the North-West
coast of Tasmania, Captives deliver their
blend of hard rock swagger. Spending most
of this past year writing and recording new
material, the band is all fired up and ready to
release their debut single at The Junc Room
for Junction, to the ears of the good citizens
of planet earth - starting with you. If you
like your music loud, honest and straight up
rockin’, then make your way to The Big Top
and check out these Captives in their native
Tasmanian habitat.
Lulu and The Paige-Turners
8:45PM—9:30PM
THE EMBERS
Catch The Embers playing to a reggae beat,
swaying to a folklore dirge, nodding to a hip
hop track, making shapes to a dance anthem
or simply stomping to a seedy blues. Insert
yourselves here for a fun-filled set of dancing
and good times. Back by popular demand
after carving up The Junc Room last year.

THE 88’S
SATURDAY 7
SEPTEMBER
Bursting onto The Junc Room stage come
Tasmania’s favorite dirty-pop outlaws, The
88’s. Be prepared to lose your marbles and
dance the mad go-go fandango as Tasmania’s
ill-begotten children of surf punk, garage
spaghetti, and Tarantino rock n’ roll whip
you into a sexy and scary beast of boogie.

7TH STREET
ENTRY
MOJO JUJU
Smooth, shiny and loaded with sin. The kind
of music that could make a bishop kick a
hole through a stained-glass window. Mojo
Juju sings songs that sound like that night
you can’t quite remember, in that bar you
swear you weren’t at, with that girl you
promise you’ve never met. Taking influence
from (but never mimicking) the sounds of
Jump, Hoodoo and Early Blues, Pachuco
Boogie, Rock ‘n’ Roll and a little bit of
Bump & Grind, Mojo has created something
undeniably her own.

Yyan and McDougall
Warm-up time is over. Grab a drink and join
the 7th Street Entry. A new outfit featuring
three of Tasmania’s finest musicians - Billy
Bennett on vocals and guitar, Corey Gilham
on bass and Beau Thomas on drums.
Reminiscent of early 70’s funk and soul, and
late 90’s neo-soul, 7th Street Entry take this
sound and mix it with pop sensibilities and
a spontaneous musical vibe to create an
ecstatically smooth groove.
10:15PM—11:15PM
RICHIE 1250 &
THE BRIDES OF CHRIST
Unstoppable sloptronic rhythm and blues
juggernaut tumbles over the Bass Strait for
one ultra-condensed hour of the funkiest oldtime party. You can make up your own witty
description while drinking a Bloody Mary and
rubbing your forehead on Sunday afternoon.
“DRUNK LOUNGE MEETS B52S. OR SOMETHING.
I AM PICTURING CROWD-SURFING A CONGA
LINE ON AN INFLATABLE LOBSTER. YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?” Steph Hughes, Triple J
Highly original and contemporary folk trio,
including multi-instrumentalist Yyan Ng,
bassist and vocalist Andrew McDougall and
ring-in Katy Humphries on violin. Feel their
grasp of musical textures and compositional
techniques, relayed through a range of
instruments, including percussive guitar and
the raw timbre of the Shakuhachi flute.

CITY COUNCIL
YOUTH OPEN MIC
For the second year, Junction Arts Festival
is pleased to collaborate with the Launceston

MAX POWER
Let’s get this party started. Calum ‘Max’
Power has bolstered his ever-expanding
collection of customised bootlegs and
remixes with a passion for reviving old
classics into up-beat party-break boom-bap.
Max applies his ‘no boundaries’ attitude to
everyone from Fatboy Slim to Ethel
Merman and back again.
DJ CHRIS NEOBI
5PM—6PM
Get your Saturday Night mood on. A stalwart
of the dance music scene, Chris neoBi’s
first foray into DJing was in 1994. With a
passionate love for the music, Chris launched
into a career in clubland which has seen him
play alongside many of Australia’s and the
world’s best DJ’s. Not afraid to push the
boundaries with new and interesting sounds,
Chris’ sound can be described as deep and
sexy, funky and chunky, quirky and dirty.
This local nine-piece funk band’s sole
purpose is to create serious dance floor
damage wherever they go. Inspired by The
Junc Room sounds from last year’s exotic
Bombay Royale’s performance, Funktional
presents their take on old-skool funk
standards. Join us for the last blast before
we draw the curtains of the 2013 Festival.
