The wait is over... Acts announced for uneARTh Festival
The wait is over, Whyalla City Council has announced the electrifying line up of acts to feature as part of the inaugural uneARTh Festival at Easter.
The council has been working closely the Adelaide Fringe to develop an exciting lineup of talented artists to bring their popular performances to Whyalla, with something sure to please everyone.
The council is excited to announce the official lineup of acts performing at Whyalla’s first ever uneARTh Festival, which will be a free event for the whole community.
If you’re a lover of cabaret, you’ll love what Anya Anastasia has in store for us.
Anya Anastasia, a sassy cabaret chanteuse with a vivid and somewhat twisted imagination, will bring to Whyalla her acclaimed show, TORTE E MORT.
TORTE E MORT unashamedly celebrates the extremes of the psyche and humanity, leaving the audience to work out which was a warning and which was an invitation to indulge in extreme behaviour.
Eleven-piece super band Motown Connection will have you on your feet dancing to all of the best soul classics from the greatest soul artists of all time.
From Otis Redding, James Brown, Al Green, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Sam & Dave, Wilson Pickett and much more, Motown Connection’s 12 piece powerhouse superband will have you dancing all night long.
The Doogans are on their way to Whyalla, bringing with them an exciting showcase of five star entertainment for the whole family!
Quirky, utterly stupid but nevertheless brilliantly clever, sassy cigar box Queen, Pandora Pink joins forces with comic juggling genius Mr. Spin to make up dynamic duo, The Doogans.
The Doogans will bring with them a dynamic pace, mixed up with quirky improvised chitchat, quick fire magic tricks and phenomenal circus skill.
Time in Space will have you ‘ooh-ing’ and ‘ahh-ing’ as the acrobats explore the limits and possibilities of the human body physically and mentally, incorporating music that influences the way they move, think and feel.
With a spectacular display of raw passion and innovative risks comes a show that is constantly growing and performing worldwide to many different types of audiences.
Time In Space brings a fresh approach to circus by fusing together art forms from tricking, dance, group acrobatics and juggling into an experimental circus show.
Cabaret comrades Michael Griffiths and Amelia Ryan are teaming up to bring their cabaret show Livvie & Pete to Whyalla.
Personifying Olivia Newton-John and flamboyant singer/songwriter Peter Allen, Amelia and Michael bring new life to the songbooks of some two of Australia’s favourite Aussie icons.
With all the theatrics you’d expect from Oliva Newton-John and Peter Allen, Livvie & Pete is a show not to be missed.
Who doesn’t love a little bit of spice, and that’s just what the Three Amigos Plus One Mexican Mariachi Band will bring when they visit Whyalla.
The Three Amigos Plus One will bring their Mexican mariachi music, fun and interactive show to the stage, as well as providing roving entertainment to knock your sombrero off.
Performing classic Latin turns like ‘Tequila’, ‘ La Cucaracha’, ‘La Bamba’ and ‘Guantanamera’, you’ll think you’ve been transported to Latin-America.
The kids will love Mr Oopy, who brings his exciting, dynamic and entertaining children’s show to Whyalla as part of uneARTh Festival.
Mr Oopy is a real kid at heart; he loves being silly and clowns around to make both kids and adults laugh.
Mr Oopy brings so much more than just fun to the show; imagine a clown, a circus, a sportsman, a teacher, a dancer, a gymnast and a musician all in one and you’ve got Mr Oopy!
The second day of the event will be a showcase of unique local talent, and local performers are working hard to develop something brand new to debut specially for uneARTh Festival.
Applications for local performers closed on February 17, and organisers are now finalizing the line-up for the second day of the event.
The council will announce details of local performers in the coming weeks.
