History
Token Imagination is a part of an extended network of Sydney independent artists. We are a branch of the family tree planted by an inspiring community, primarily The Frequency Lab and Knot Gallery. The physical space no longer resides at 107/342 Elizabeth St, but the collective continue to produce amazing work, and we look forward what will flourish in a new space.
Always eager to be inspired by the opportunities and limitations of new physical space, Token Imagination has taken the flagship of Token into all the nooks and crannies of Sydney’s inner city and beyond. From The Frequency Lab/Knot Gallery, The Kirk, 505, Lan Franchis and The Last Bastion of Civilization to festival appearances at Underbelly Festival ('07), Peat’s Ridge Sustainable Arts and Music Festival (‘05, ‘06, ’07), The Great Escape Festival (’06, ’07), Chalk The Walk Festival (’07), The Australian Poetry Festival (06), TINA Festival (‘06), Cockatoo Island Festival (‘05), Cracker Comedy Festival ('05) and The Sydney Festival (’05). Our ability to be flexible with space, numbers of people involved, format and concept, means that we are able to occupy a variety of sites and and contribute to a variety of umbrella’ed events.
Token Imagination began as Token Word, a monthly spoken word event that steadily spread its wings since its conception in June 2003. Over the years our events have grown in size, attendance, format and concept to become multi-arts extravaganzas with the natural evolution of our core members becoming a creative production team.
Our Core Members work in a variety of mediums, contributing both creative, production and technical skills. Each artist covering multiple roles from sound engineering, communications, documentation and hosting to promotion and performance. They are all prolific practicing artists excited by the possibilities of collaboration.
They include: Jess Cooknkitch (The Frequency Lab), Jamie Gerlach (Jamie Boy lady), Alasdair Nicol (Knot Gallery, Tendril Productions), Tom Keily (Citizen Tom, Thomas Jack of hearts), Di Smith (Pact Theatre, Brown Council), Kali Reid, Skye Wagner (Peek-a-Booth), Iain Buchan (The Frequency Lab)
We are always in creative dialogue with a plethora of local and international artists... and so our tribe is always in fluctuation and we thank all our contributors with sincere appreciation!
