CONSTELLATIONS, FROM 26 NOVEMBER SPIER’S latest event, Constellations, was conceptualised by acclaimed theatre director and playwright Brett Bailey. The event takes several small groups on an outdoor trail through the farm after dark. The groups rotate amongst a sequence of three campfires, gathering for about 35 minutes at each. Every campfire is presided over by its own unique Guardian – an artist, poet, musician, performer or storyteller– who will host each campfire experience.
