Fam Jam

Naarm / Melbourne 2025

Jump outta the lounge room and into FAM JAM – an intergenerational joyride for kids and older people, where you can create your own awesome video clip. 

About

FAM JAM is a moving joy ride for children and older people. Book time in the FAM JAM Studio to create your own special videoclip and come and celebrate at the all-in FAM JAM Dance Party in the Main Square, where you can see your videoclip on the Big Screen!

Inspired by ABC’s Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds, You Can’t Ask That and the playful imagination of French filmmaker Michel Gondry, FAM JAM celebrates movement, connection and creativity across generations.

No dance experience needed – just curiosity and a dancing buddy!

FAM JAM Studio – Thursday 27 & Friday 28 November

Whether you’re 6 or 86, bring Grandma, your Yéyé or favourite Zia or Zio and step into the special pop-up studio for some dance joy. You’ll choose music and costumes, sharing your signature moves on camera – with kids leading the way from start to finish. Please let the FAM JAM Team know if you would prefer for your videoclip not to be played on the Big Screen afterwards. You’ll still get a special souvenir to take home to look back at for years to come!

Tickets are limited and bookings essential for the FAM JAM Studio, so be sure to get in quick.

When: Thursday 27 & Friday 28 November, 10am–4pm (15 minute intervals) 

Where: Atrium, Fed Square

Accessibility: Auslan interpreted sessions on Friday 28 November from 10am–1pm.
