Lismore to Love More

Aquarius is coming to town. As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the famed Nimbin Aquarius festival, Lismore is getting in on the act in a spectacular event at the Starcourt Theatre from May 9 to 12, called “Aquarius in Lovemore”. This will be more than a name change for Lismore, Aquarius in Lovemore will bring a new wave of love to life in town. A mini festival in the Theatre of film, music and performance, as well as talk sessions and forums, aims to expose the myths of hippiedom, shine a light on the true stories of environmental and social activism and bring the best out of our local performing artists.

Lovemore

"We want to inform and celebrate our history to help our regional community move forward together", said Paul Joseph, original Aquarius Songman. "But we also will showcase the great diversity and strength in our local talent pool. Our full program will be released soon and will be filled with surprise and delight."

Opening night, Thursday 9 May, the film, "Woodstock Down Under" will have its premiere and launch. This film was made by Nathan Koenig and Shelli Lipton, who own the Woodstock Museum in New York State, site of that famous event. Nathan and Shelli have been coming out here for the past 10 years and have documented much of our local story. A bit like looking through a mirror backwards - seeing ourselves from another view. Can't be missed.

Dunnies

From Friday 10 to Sunday 12 May (actual Aquarius anniversary date) there will be a daily program of talk and film sessions, with a concert each night. Each day will be themed as Environment, Healing (self, and planet) and Community.

So get involved, come along and have your say and share in bringing more love to Lismore. Let your inner hippiness shine out with the aging of Aquarius at the Starcourt Theatre May 9 - 12 for Aquarius in Lovemore.
