Arcadia Spectacular, known colloquially as "Arcadia", are a performance art collective that combine elements of sculpture, architecture, recycling, pyrotechnics, lighting, circus and music into large scale performance and dance spaces. Best known for their 50-tonne "Spider", they rework ex military machinery and industrial components into installations and 360 degree arenas, following a transformational and environmental ethos. ==History== Arcadia was founded by Pip Rush (who previously worked alongside his brother, artist Joe Rush, at the Mutoid Waste Company) and Bert Cole, formerly master of the world’s largest tent, the Valhalla. Their first collaboration, the Afterburner, debuted at the Glastonbury Festival in 2007 after being built in a cowshed. Subsequent years saw the refinement of the Afterburner until 2010 when 3 Customs and Excise scanning units were attached as "legs".〔 This first incarnation of the ‘Spider’ led to two more years of adjustments until they both became separate installations in permanent form. Arcadia's installations are built from recycled materials and military equipment〔 Arcadia have developed a series of mechanical landscapes and performance-based shows between 2007 and the present, collaborated with New Zealander Carlos van Camp to form the Lords of Lightning and built the mobile Bug Stage which appeared at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Paralympics.〔 In 2014, Arcadia were given a permanent area at the Glastonbury Festival and Arcadia perform with the Spider in Bangkok, Thailand.〔 The Afterburner traveled to New Zealand for New Year's Eve at the Rhythm and Vines Festival before going onto Miami's Ultra festival as the Resistance Stage in March 2015. In September 2015, Arcadia performed to 24,000 people over 2 nights in Bristol's Queen Square. This event that also celebrated Bristol's year as European Green Capital featured the world's first pyrotechnic flame system run entirely on recycled biofuel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arcadia Spectacular」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
