Lot 19 artspace and friends are throwing
a party for their friend and fellow artist
Yodhi Bergman – a benefit to help her
through cancer treatment and recovery.
'Yodhi Fest' as the special event
has been dubbed will take place at the
artspace in Langslow Street, Castlemaine
on Saturday July 20.
The event will kick off at 2pm and run
until late and will be hosted by Jimay
Falcon.
Lot 19 supporter Fionna Allan said it
will be a special event not to be missed.
"This is a celebration of the wonder
that is Yodhi, who is a much-loved local
artist and member of our community and
has recently received a serious cancer
diagnosis and has been undergoing surgery
and treatment, with more to come,"
she said.
The theme of the event will be 'Shivoo'.
One of the event organisers Jane Goodrich
said the Shivoo events which ran
from 2015 - 2019 go down in Castlemaine
history as a magical series of cabaret
style events.
"Yodhi has been at the heart of this
celebration and so it’s only fitting to celebrate
Yodhi and her creative vision with
a day of art, music and performances at
our beloved Lot 19," she said
"There are many ways to contribute to
this fundraiser from donating art to volunteering
at the event to dressing up in your
most spectacular costumes and coming
along for some enchanting fun."
Yodhi Bergman said The Shivoo Guild
is made up of a rare team of shapeshifting
artists with a shared intuition and
magical vision in common.
"Their phantasmagorical events are
made up of secrets and surprises where
multiple performances take place simultaneously
so as no one person could
possibly witness every act or encounter.
Shivoo guests are escorted by bus hosted
by mystery characters to an unknown location
where the curious and creative can
experience the unexpected. Costumes
are vital and participants play a crucial
role in making each experience come to
life. To Shivoo is to become a part of an
otherworldly dreamscape with connection,
play and community as the soul focus,"
Bergman said.
This fundraising and celebratory event
will feature live music from: Sugar Fed
Leopards, Davo - Central Vic’s best and
only Devo Tribute act), Lucie Thorne,
Bench Press, J.P. Shilo, Gold Coast
Leathers and S.F.X.
Plus DJ’S Jen Moore and Mickey
Young will have you up and dancing and
there will also be special performances
from Carly Fern, Emilie Bloom and Briega
Young.
Plus food, a bar and art to enjoy!
The dress code is 'Resplendent!' So
come in your best Shivoo garb and/or accessorise
with a splash of Boob energy.
