Carpark dance party

 

Experiment: Carpark dance party

Enjoy a celebratory dance battle event featuring the city's newest ‘vehicle for change’ - Soul Defender – a 14-tonne ex-military truck which has been repurposed as a mobile music stage and performance artwork. This event will feature music for the soul and warm vibes for all to enjoy.

Place plan theme: Cultural Program 'to strengthern connections into and within the park.'

Date: 2 November

Location: Mandalay Carpark.

Observation: There are limited opportunities to engage with Haig Park, especially in winter. The Mandalay Bus has a dedicated community.

Hypothesis: A bright, lively dance event in the Mandalay carpark could provide an opportunity to celebrate the existing community of patrons within the park’s vicinity.

Favourable outcome: The event appeals to a young and engaged crowd, who have limited free opportunities in the city, increasing footfall and dwell time in Haig Park. The event contributes to a sense of possibility for the park’s diverse uses.

We would love to get your feedback on this experiment. Have YourSay and help to improve Haig Park.
