A NOTE FROM BREC’S CREATIVE LEARNING COORDINATOR

Step inside a world where every child’s curiosity is celebrated. A giant puzzle-box of illusions, kooky-carnival friends with magic in their pockets lead students into a multi-sensory wonderland of large-scale projections, tiny tactile delights and infectious live music. Created by Sensorium Theatre, Australia’s leading company making work for children with disability, Wonderbox is a joyful, inclusive experience for up to 15 children and their carers per session, with up to 30 people in total per performance, including capacity for up to 6 wheelchair users.

Ideal for students with disabilities and their peers, it nurtures creativity, confidence and connection – inviting every child to find their place in the story. All performances of Wonderbox are relaxed performances, with audiences invited to sit or move around freely within the performance space and adjacent chill-out zone, which features comfortable seating and minimal sound. The performers use multi-modal communication including key signs, natural gesture, visual symbols and minimal verbal language. The show is highly visual with a rich aural environment and many opportunities for individual engagement and interaction through the senses.

  FOR SCHOOL YEARS 3 – 12
