Vietlish is supporting CITY OF SYDNEY in a call out for volunteersCity of Sydney is seeking up to 20 volunteers to participate in some exciting entries in the 2010 Chinese New Year Twilight Parade.
City of Sydney’s annual Chinese New Year Festival is the largest Lunar New Year celebration outside of Asia. Anchored by a major street parade of international standard, the Festival includes more than 40 fantastic events produced by arts organisations, museums and community groups celebrating the Lunar New Year.
Sydney’s streets will again be filled with lanterns, lights, dragons and dancers for the 2010 Chinese New Year Twilight Parade, celebrating the Year of the Tiger.
The inaugural Twilight Parade in 2009 involved more than 2,600 performers and drew crowds of approximately 100,000 people to the Festival’s most beautiful event.
Volunteer participants will be integral to the presentation of the parade leading segments of the parade with mobile lightboxes which present imagery and messages relating to the Lunar New Year and the participants involved in the parade.
Participants will not need previous performance experience, however should be enthusiastic and have at least a moderate level of physical physical fitness (the entry may take up to one hour to move along the parade route).
Participants will be required to attend a 1 hour briefing on Monday 15 February 2010, where they will be fully instructed on their role, and will need to be available for the parade from 6pm-10pm on Sunday 21st February 2010.
This provides a unique opportunity to be involved in the 2010 Chinese New Year Twilight Parade celebrating the Year of the Tiger and engage with representatives from a range of communities who celebrate the Lunar New Year.
