Performance artists
Visual performance at The Gathering evokes an emotional response. It's another form of expression of our generation. It brings back that little bit of much-needed magic into our minds. It is new, yet ancient... It is reality, yet all an act.
The performers that rove amongst us and appear on stage before us can show that participation in life is a fun and colourful process and that believing in yourself gives you strength to share your spirit.
