Light, music and art bring gardens to life

Origami at the Japanese Gardens

The Japanese Gardens at Gosford Regional Gallery will come alive with light, music and art when Origami returns on April 13.

Featuring light and performance artists, live music and fashion, Origami was compared to Sydney’s Vivid Festival when it premiered last April to a sold-out audience at the East Gosford gallery.

The Origami Folding Art and Sound Festival will transform the gallery and gardens into a playground of the unexpected, celebrating bold and original ideas intertwined with installations, vibrant imagery and video which will be beaming the Origami experience throughout the gardens.

Festival Producer Glitta Supernova said multiple locations within the gardens will shine with truly immersive, inspiring light, music and wonder.

“We are creating a garden of delights folding art with sound, layering live music with mesmerising light and visual projection,” she said.

“There will be DJs, food curators and performance art in an experiential immersive journey to engage your senses.

“I am so very proud of our team; you have to be brave to create new work, to bring unique experiences and talking points to the Central Coast.

“Origami is all about transporting festival-goers to an unexpected wonderland.”

This year’s program will include engaging content from First Nations electro Pop to headliners Global DJ Duo bringing dance party vibes in between the live music and performance sets.

They will play alongside projection artists St. Luc who will deliver extraordinary 3D mesmerising visual displays.

Dance inside the traditional Japanese teahouse mini disco, stroll 3D pathways and take in live music at the koi pavilion.

The Honest Cook will offer fresh, locally sourced traditional sichuan dumplings and bao buns with dumplings hand made on the night using only Australian prawns, beef, pork, chicken and lamb.

There will also be a Popup Bar and nibbles.

Bring your festival seating, lawn furniture and picnic rugs and dress for a garden party.

The event will be held from 5-11.30pm on Saturday, April 13.
