Dance meets activism at Off the Grid 2017, an all-day party where the environment is on the agenda. Featuring an eclectic mix of local and international DJs, musicians and performance artists alongside speakers and environmentalists, this "solar-powered celebration" promises some 14 hours of eating, drinking, dancing and discussion.
The fun begins at 9am on Friday, December 22 in the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art forecourt. The music lineup includes Jay Daniel, Chee Shimizu, Krakatau, KAIIT, Two Steps on the Water, Ben Fester and Dianas. Importantly, the sound system will be run off solar power, while proceeds from the event will be invested in solar projects around town.
Guest speakers, meanwhile, include Alison Rowe from the Moreland Energy Foundation, Amy Roberts of organic basics label Vege Threads, and Erin Rhoads, brains behinds the eco-lifestyle website The Rogue Ginger.
