Become a Fan of Imagine Festival to receive all the latest news from us, and from your fringe arts community.
With Cleveland Street Theatre complex’s amazing versatile Theatre (ranges from 100–145 seats in several formations and includes great floorspace and aerial rigging) and a huge range of 9 studios (from the Pitt St campus to Cleveland, includes an edit suite, and mirrors and pianos in some rooms) this is a great, central space for new, emerging and established artists in dance, performance art, theatre, music, film, visual arts and photography.
The 2009 the Imagine Festival provided a way of bringing lots of disciplines together in the one space and create a nuturing environment for a diversity of artists, from new to established. It also helped us get the word out about our fantastic space!
In 2010 the Cleveland Street Theatre will be a part of the Sydney Fringe in September and we look forward to an incarnation of the Imagine Festival in October this year, held in 2009 as part of the City of Sydney’s Art & About program.
YOKO ONO SENDS 'IMAGINE' A MESSAGE - JUST IMAGINE!
Friday 9th October 2009: When Lesley Watson, Festival Director and Rebecca Clarke, ACTT’s Imagine Festival Coordinator realised that the Festival start coincides with John Lennon’s birthday, Rebecca contacted Yoko Ono.
The following message was received via Amanda Keeley, Personal Assistant to Yoko Ono, on October 9 2009:
IMAGINE PEACE
“Imagine all the people living in peace” – as John said.
Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world.
Power works in mysterious ways.
You don’t have to do much.
Visualise the domino effect
And just start thinking PEACE.
The message will circulate faster than you think.
It’s Time For Action.
The Action is PEACE.
Spread the word.
Spread PEACE.
I love you!
Yoko Ono ‘09
