Cementa26 Kayak Orchestra

Kayak Orchestra by Lichen Kelp & Dylan Martorell blends sound, sculpture and performance in an experimental ritual that acts as a gentle reverie on water stewardship.

Presented in collaboration with Southern Cross Kayaking, audiences will take to the water in sonified kayaks, drifting through a meditative soundscape attuned to the local acoustic ecologies and paying homage to Ganguddy.

Each one-hour session takes place on the water at Ganguddy, Wollemi National Park.

Please arrive 20 minutes before your booked session for check-in, completion of the participant risk agreement and safety information.

What is included

Two-person kayaks and life jackets are provided.

Southern Cross Kayaking will introduce participants to kayaking and staying safe on the water, and the experience will be guided by the artists.

All participants must wear the provided life jacket and complete the participant risk agreement before taking part.

You do not need a minimum level of swimming competency to participate.

If you book individually, that’s completely fine. You will be paired with another participant for your two-person kayak.

You are welcome to book more than one session.

Ages

Kayak Orchestra is for participants aged 12 years and over.

Participants aged under 18 must share a kayak with an accompanying adult.
