JURASSIC LOUNGE GOES OUT WITH A BANG
Sydney’s wildest after-hours party is going extinct! The sixth
and final season of Jurassic Lounge will run every Tuesday night
at the new time of 6pm to 10pm from September 3rd
until November 5th 2013 at the Australian Museum.
Over 53,000 people have already enjoyed these unique after-hours
openings during which the Australian Museum comes alive as a
showcase of an ever-changing roster of Sydney’s best emerging
artists.
The final season - Jurassic Lounge: Extinction - will
consist of a series of ten outrageous end-of-the-world parties
counting down to the event’s extinction, each unfolding against
a stunning backdrop of dinosaurs, wild animals and precious
gemstones. Each night will feature a line-up of artists
including comedians, bands, pole dancers, DJs and burlesque
performers, alongside craft markets, dance lessons and science
experiments. Expect the unexpected!
Kicking off the series on September 3rd is the TIME
MACHINE party, where each room at the Museum takes visitors back
to a different decade: a chance to learn 1980s Hip Hop moves
from Hip-Hop Legacy or get sweaty at a pop-up aerobics
class by Physique Aerobics, have a drink in the 1920s
Speakeasy, win prizes at Time Travel Trivia hosted by
Project 52 (comedians Michael Hing and Tom Walker) and
get down to the Twist N Shout DJs, performing party
anthems from the 1950s and 1960s.
The ultimate party will be EXTINCTION NIGHT on November 5th.
This final send off will feature performances by Miss Pole
Dance Australia and Miss Pole Dance NSW and the
winner of the Raptors’ Choice Award for Best Jurassic Lounge
Act, picked by the audience.
In between, Sydneysiders and visitors will be treated to eight
interactive themed parties, including a night dedicated to the
5 SENSES, COWBOYS, HALLOWEEN and CYCLING
& UPCYCLING. Daggy dads will also take over the Museum for
DADS NIGHT, a chance to get
your hair cut by an old school barber (Hair by Tommy J),
learn new dad jokes at a comedy workshop or cut a rug in our dad
dancing competition.
The sandstone walls of Australia’s first museum will vibrate to
the sounds of the best up-and-coming bands and DJs including
Richard in Your Mind, Tim Fitz, Pear Shape,
Bloody Lovely Audrey
and The Mountains. Every night will be an opportunity to
take in the permanent collection and
join in the Silent Disco, arts & crafts workshops,
meet-a-scientist sessions, Date Roulette, Comedy Confessions and
play all manner of giant and vintage games. Over 30 Sydney
creators and craftsmen will showcase their wares in the new
Jurassic Markets, from jams and jewelry to potted plants and
designer dresses.
For the first five weeks of Jurassic Lounge, visitors will also
enjoy complimentary access to the Wildlife Photographer of
the Year Exhibition, featuring over 100 powerful and
awe-inspiring wildlife images chosen from over 48,000 entries
worldwide.
