KUBU Studio Launch

One of the biggest things you can hope for in life is for a place to fit in and people to love you for who you are; this is in part some of what KUBU Studio (Geelong’s newest creative space) has been based off. It is a place where everyone is welcome, regardless of your background, ethnicity, sexuality or struggles you’ve had in life. The studio officially launched last week and it will easily be one of the best things to happen to Geelong of late.
Located right near Deakin on Bayley Street in an industrial style building (my guess is an old mechanics) the space ticks all the boxes on what a creative area needs to be; plenty of floor space, a stage and high ceilings.
For the opening night things kicked off at 5.30pm with a sequence of performances from Alex Williams, Johnny El P, the Kremlings, The Underhanded, The Living Eyes, Alice Ivy, Kaptin and Chook & Moluck. Echoing the sentiment of everyone being welcome and the birthplace of the name (Kubu means ‘stronghold’ in Indonesian) an Indonesian dance was one of the entertainments for the night as well as an official welcome to country dance.
A variety of burgers, sliders and fried chicken was supplied by the Daily Food Co, and there was love all round for everything that came off the frypan. If anything, the launch of KUBU Studio was about brining people together and having a conversation. That conversation has now been started with its opening and we look forward to where the discussion leads…
