Supernormal Festival 2012
Venue: Braziers Park, Ipsden
Tickets: £65
Braziers International Artists’ Workshop presents Supernormal, an intimate, non-profit event that blurs the boundaries between art and music, performer and audience. Held at eco-site Braziers Park, the festival is determinedly small – born from a place that values the currency of ideas and imagination rather than commercialism and profit. Offering a platform for artists, performers and musicians to work collaboratively and creatively, Supernormal is an innovative weekend of art-focussed practice, where both impromptu and timetabled events can surprise and delight.
