Play Date Re:Perth
Perth / Boorloo
Play Date is a children’s music performance work; a high energy dance and play party for little ones and their chosen families.
About
Featuring all original pop music sharing themes of inclusivity, body positivity and joy, Play Date illuminates and celebrates non-dominant family structures; the people who are a part of them and the people who support them through a participatory, irreverent music and movement experience. The show is a live, music and dance experience for children aged two to seven years and their parents/guardians/allies and friends.
Play Date was a hit of our winter festival RE//Perth. The piece for young ones, and their adults, is clearly grounded in best practice utilising repetition, bright colours, catchy songs, movement and strong accessibility considerations. It is a truly inclusive work and the two artists treated the children with respect utilising different engagement techniques to make all feel welcome! Parents enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek adult-humour sprinkled throughout. It was a joy for all. Jo Thomas, CEO, ARTRAGE
