IN DEVELOPMENT
FLASHFEST is a new project in development which is designed to benefit youth audience development and participation in the regional hinterland of the Sunshine Coast.

Stick(E)vents will mentor a young lighting desigher and intern event manager to produce a pop up youth event. Using current streaming media technology, the event will engage young people with electonica/dance music by top drawer music producer, and enable them to interact socially and artistically within their own and other youth communities across the region, from tree to shining sea. There is a plethora of commercial music on the coast, but it is mediated by industrial popular culture and the demands of 'big' festival production. This project is much more DIY, hands on, and aims to broaden the musical vocabulary of our youth, giving the young artists the tools, experience and contacts they need to make a sustainable arts business for themselves.
Since 2012, we have been producing DOOFWORD, a salon event showcasing art, music, spoken word and song..

The event venue is THE TANK TOP stage at our Cooroy Hinterland Greenroom studio..  Previous Doofword events have been held in December, but we have moved the date to coincide with the Sunshine Coast's new Horizon Event.

The next Doofword will be 1-3 September 2017,
