Rigging and projection screens have been installed at the poppet-head as aerialists train to dangle from its side.
The ACT Natimuk production – Poppet Bendigo – will take place on October 20 with animation, shadow puppetry, projections and sound designs to accompany the aerial artists.
The area will be closed off to the public from today until after the production takes place.
On Thursday night the production crew trialled some projections onto the screens installed at the poppet-head.
Poppet Bendigo was announced as a Regional Centre for Culture project in November last year. It was one of the largest commissions and will see performers recreate for Bendigo stories from the city’s past.
Performers will start rehearsing at the poppet-head from October 1.
