Body Painting Artistry
Models were painted live on stage for the 'We love Sounds', Hordern Pavilion Performance as part of a live DJ set.
The Act:
This concept can be recreated to be presented with any live stage act, DJ set,
as a centre piece for an event, or as a roving style act. Models enter in costume
and part painted and the remainder of the painting is done as a live act for
around 20-30mins.
Models
can then either conclude their performance, vogue on the stage for a set period
of time, pose as live statues,
or
become roving Artists.
This live
performance art can be styled and themed to work with any event concept. Costumes
and painting styles can be
specifically themed for any event.

Roving Rickshaws
Bhangra Styled Rickshaws, ferried party goers around the festival to the accompaniment of Bhangra tunes playing from sound systems concealed in the undercarriage of the trykes.
These fantastically decorated machines were a major hit at the Hordern Pavilion with all the party goers, who couldn't get enough of cruising the festival in the canopied pedal power luxury 'push-trykes', driven by our Comic Carnivale stunt drivers, who provided running commentaries and gags as well as their extraordinary pedal power.
Music: The machines are equipped with an amplified sound system and can play any style of music
Artists: 1 to 2 Machines and Drivers can be provided
Venue: The drivers require reasonably flat grounds and a set cleared route for transporting passengers through. In situations where the grounds are a little rough or there are a lot of general public a pageboy or girl can also be provided to work with the Drivers to assist in maneuvering, clearing the route and ensuring crowd safety.
Act Duration: Drivers can do 3 sets of 30-40mins with a break in between
Rickshaws presented by Sid Sidlow
Artists Featured: Sid Sidlow and Max Meyer
