Max’s Cabaret, The Runway Challenge Wearable Art Musical Revue

It’s Max’s Cabaret, it’s The Runway Challenge, it’s a super-fun evening bringing together some of Peterborough’s finest musical, visual and performing artists together in a fundraiser for Public Energy.

The highlight of every Wearable Art Show is the Runway Challenge and this year is no exception, as a new format is being introduced: The 48-Hour Runway Challenge! Just 48 hours before the event, four artists will be presented with a pile of objects, materials and used goods which they must create an original work of wearable art. This year’s Runway Challengers are Dreda Blow, Bruno Merz, Mel McCall, Wendy Maritan Van Monsjou and Bradley Boyle.

Joining the Runway Challengers are these artists who have created their own wearable art fashions specially for Max’s Cabaret: Dawna Greenham, Berlynn Ellis, Kathryn Bahun, Hartley Stephenson, Marilyn O’Connor, and Max Price.

Sharing the stage will be a range of musical, dance and spoken word artists providing non-stop entertainment. These include: dancers Nicole Malbeuf, Sarah Rudnicki, Lindsay Haacke, Heather Kenny, and Corrine Maynard; spoken word artist Katherine Heigh; live music with Chester Babcock, Rutherford & Rose, Justin Hiscox, Judy Jordan, and Matt Allen; singers Carolyn Kay and Cheyenne Buck and burlesque performer Naomi Duvall.
