Borderline Ballroom

Framed by the evocative decaying grandeur of the Media Club's Blue Room, once the ballroom of the historic Winter Gardens, the BORDERLINE BALLROOM is a Christchurch-based initiative aiming to provide a relaxed space for challenging listening, and a regular live venue for performative audio experimentation which supports local practitioners working on the peripheries of music and sound, while offering a resource for national and international performers touring New Zealand's South Island. The BORDERLINE BALLROOM is actively seeking performers. We are cross-genre and non-hierarchical, and interested in providing an outlet for musicians, composers and audio artists investigating live sonic experimentation of any variety. We are also interested in experimental side projects, new collaborations, artists investigating the relation of audio to other (live) media, and in people who don't yet consider they have an audience outside their own headphones. If you would like more details, or have any questions, please contact us.
