2high Festival
Want to direct your own festival? Stop by this festival first.
Overview
Everyone needs to start somewhere, whether it's running an event, performing at or attending one. Organised by Backbone Youth Arts, that's the aim of the 2high Festival. It offers an unofficial training ground for festival workers, artists, administrators and leaders in the industry — and you get to share in the entertaining and informative results.
See what this year's team has put together under the theme 'Forgotten Treasures' — though its roster of talent promises to prove anything but. Spanning circus, film, music, theatre, writing, visual arts, poetry and more, 2high has assembled a diverse array of up-and-comers to revel in all things creative, and including the usual endeavours and the not so.
Everything takes place at the Old Museum, and there's plenty of activities and shows to choose from, ensuring everyone can join in the fun. Play an interactive art game, dance along at an all-ages midday rave, or jump inside the human mind. Overstep the mark in comedy cabaret, celebrate street art, and learn the craft of love letters. Or better yet — get a festival pass and try them all.
