Witness a surf movie come to life at Bleach* at Burleigh

This Saturday, the hill at Burleigh will be a little more crowded than usual as Bleach* on Burleigh takes over with a stellar line-up of events from 11:00 am.

Browse colourful market stalls, participate in workshops and catch acoustic performances as part of the International Students Day celebrations that form part of the final weekend of Bleach* Festival’s activities. From 3:30 pm the highly-anticipated (m)Ocean takes over the waves and the point for a world-first experimental performance art piece that will attempt to present a live surf movie. Band of Frequencies and Kim Churchill will take turns between the instruments and the water to create a kind of symbiotic loop between the two. The idea is that the musicians will play to the rhythm of the surfers and vice versa. The experimental piece is the brainchild of the Gold Coast’s own Tim Baker, you can read our chat with the mastermind himself here.

Afterwards, catch a beachside flick on The Cooly Kids that features interviews and rare archival footage from Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Peter Townend and Rabbit Bartholomew alongside Kong’s Island and Bunyip Dreaming. Bleach* at Burleigh is a free, family-friendly event.
