SUMMARY:The Box Show
DESCRIPTION:In the hands of Junkyard Beats\, ordinary household items are transformed into extraordinary musical instruments\, and unwanted junk comes alive in exciting and surprising ways. \nThe Box Show excites the imagination of children and adults alike. We follow four characters during their daily activities in a world made of cardboard boxes and junk. The contents of an abandoned kitchen and wheelie bins become the greatest drum set in the world; plastic bags are an amazing musical instrument\, and the human body becomes a unique sound machine. Tag along for a day in the life o a bunch of musical misfits as they reinvigorate the junk that the world has forgotten. \nLearn about sustainability with this high energy\, imaginative music-in-education performance combining drumming\, dance\, theatre\, and comedy. With a language of gibberish and rhythm\, this show is accessible to all ages and audiences. \nWednesday 16 September 2026\n1000am & 12:30pm \nFIND OUT MORE
