Myself and my dance partner hired this for a full day. We are from Sydney so coming to Melbourne and filming a dance video was a bit anxiety inducing but thank goodness for the Bighouse Arts team, as they were absolutely easy to work with and super helpful. The venue was the perfect fit for the aesthetic we were going for but I do think this is an extremely versatile venue if you are wanting to film content. We are grateful to have been able to shoot our video here as it was such a seamless and efficient process. Big love to Eileen and Camille for assisting us during our little journey :).
It was a really cold day so a heater would have been perfect ?
