(Arguably) Our most beautiful Book Doof to date! Twilight Reading @ripponlea_by_the_gardeners 🌳
On 28 January, 2027, we’re taking over the gardens at Rippon Lea Estate for the biggest Book Doof we’ve ever staged, in the most beautiful setting we’ve ever hosted in.
Rippon Lea is one of Melbourne’s great heritage gardens, with sweeping lawns, a lake, century-old trees and a Victorian mansion keeping watch over it all. Bring your picnic rugs and camping chairs for a balmy evening of reading, creating and live sound.
Featuring music therapist, sound practitioner and musician Rodney Pollak (@poj.integral.sound) this session pairs reading with sound made for the space it’s played in.
Rodney’s work focuses on immersive listening experiences that invite stillness, reflection and deeper awareness. Using acoustic instruments, resonant percussion, guitar, voice and ambient textures, he shapes each performance around the environment and the people in it.
None of his performances sound the same, so this one will only happen once.
As always, the time is yours to use how you see fit, so long as that experience is not a distraction to others. Food and drinks will be available on site, or pack your own picnic. There’ll be prizes and a few surprises along the way too.
