Green Chick Greens Melbourne Fringe Visible City

Exciting news! Green Chick has been selected to "green" the keynote project of the 2010 Melbourne Fringe Festival.

The concept behind the project titled "Visible City" is to explore the different roles that artists play in imagining and helping to design 21st century cities in a live arts culture. The project will explore new mediums, engage communities and bring emerging and experienced artists together to create new work for immediate consumption by the general public.

Artists will live and work in a communal space called the ‘house’ for the duration of the 2010 Melbourne Fringe Festival (22 September – 10 October) where they will respond to a series of daily provocations and constraints set by Melbourne Fringe. Through collaborative live art practices, the artists will create works that is urgent, needed and connected to the present, which will educate and transform the experience of urban dwelling.

Green Chick's role? To ensure the project generates little impact on earth but makes a large impact in the live arts realm.
