AUSTRALIAN PAVILION PROPOSAL:

Event No.1 : A live music multi location performance event from the Australia/Pacific region, live- streamed into the Australian Pavilion at COP28 UAE. Working in partnership with the Australian Pavilion, those to attend the screening event at the COP would be by special invitation.

The event will be the first stage of our 4allEK public engagement process building a music based means for civil society to demonstrate their willingness to embrace the changes required to build a sustainable future.

EVENT BREAKDOWN:

Live stream would last between 15- 30 minutes made up of the following elements:

5 min introductory video explaining the 4allEK concept (PRE-RECORD)

5-10 min pre- amble vision switching live from location to location showing the communities gathering, including potentially the Australian Pavilion Audience ( MULTI-LOCATIONS)

2 min – Welcome to country ( SYDNEY)

8-10 minute performance of ‘For all Earthkind’- our mission title track- with the central conducted performance on the Sydney Harbour foreshore by communities surrounded by water ( SYDNEY)

Participants will be general public, schools, choirs, famed soloists (TBA) and the Australian Youth Orchestra ( SYDNEY)

We aim to have 2-4 simultaneous multi-location events in the mix from the Pacific, NASA Virginia, and in regional Australia (TBC), with the scope within our networks for other involvement from other parts of the world (MULTI-LOCATIONS)

Depending on participating locations the following time frames are under consideration:

DATES:

Operating under the assumption that the weekends will give us greater chance for participation the following dates are our favoured dates during the COP: 1st/2nd/3rd or 8th/9th/10th Dec.

AUSTRALIAN PAVILION EXPERIENCE

We would require a large screen and great speakers.

The event should be by invitation, 4allEK – can work with the govt to compile this list.

We would like to include members of the Small Island, Big Song Oceania collective to as invitees to the UAE event with the idea they could contribute some live percussion and singing components to augment the live stream- and inspire the room to also sing.

The nature of the event is to show a cross section of communities and their willingness to take on the change required for a sustainable future- and to show and inspire greater ambition from delegates at the summit.

Tech support for the event could be internal supplied by the Australian Pavilion or we could source people to support and manage the live stream feed and audio visual components.
