fastBREAK: Love

Overview

To explore the workings of space-flight, ponder eco-houses or the skirting boards of trams, the Powerhouse Boiler Room is usually the place to be. Once a month, the gears of fertile minds are also put on show in its Mezzanine as part of Vibewire's fastBREAK series. With the sleek morning accoutrements of cheap breakfast and swish digs, you can listen to bright young things from a range of creative industries talk about what they do. This final fastBREAK for 2010 runs along the theme of love, and each of its five speakers loves their field.

Jono Fisher's burn-out from the business world lead him to work as a nanny, which lead in turn to the germ of Wakeup Sydney's anti-pyramid of kindness. Vicky Roberts was part of the passion in the 2004 Olympics' Australian Women's Rowing team, Luke Escombe serenades with flippant Flip-Flop hip-hop, while Chris Thé authors the much-adored Black Star pastries spread at the fastBREAK buffet. Also speaking will be the Blood and Thunder-publishing, Rizzeria-loving Kernow Craig. Each will talk for five minutes, then get chatting with the audience. And after that, well — work. But maybe a good breakfast will allow you to love it just a little bit more.
