A fabulous, fun time was had by all at WonderFest 2014 and I was so glad to join in the festivities at the concert last night, closing off a day of learning, collaborating and positive interaction at Revival Bar. And after a full day of workshops (A Capella Jam with Niki Andre and a Synergy Session with Madette), the gang was engergized and ready to go.
LMG Productions organizers Kat Leonard and Arlene Paculan hosted an amazing line-up of talent (aka Wonder Women & Super Men) from a variety of arts disciplines, including music, spoken word, stand-up comedy and visual arts. Visual artists included paintings – which were featured onstage – by Dorothy Knight, Rohan Moore and Stephanie Payne, and face painting by Lisa Diane.
The stellar roster of concert performers, in order of appearance, included:
- Madette
- Candice Sand
- Dan Curtis Thompson
- Sarah Jean Villa
- Matt Zadkovich
- Heather Brissenden
- Kat Leonard performed an improvised dance to the track Emilia Nowicki was set to dance to, but unfortunately was off sick
- Ashley Martinez
- Bucky James
- Kat Leonard
- Arlene Paculan
- Emily Mac
- Ernie Vicente
- Rosita Stone
- Alissa Vox Raw
- The Four Winds Music Collective (Kat Leonard, Meghan Morrison, Heather Hill & Arlene Paculan)
