Drip Drop Play

Drip Drop Play is a joyful and calming sensory experience that encourages children and their grown ups to listen and explore in an immersive colourful world of ice and water.

Led by silent characters Drip and Drop, the experience begins in a welcome room with lighting, song, and listening games, encouraging attentive listening and engagement.

In the Ice Room, melting ice pieces create a dynamic soundscape, which children alter using found objects such as tins and cups.

The final space features giant water bowls illuminated by shifting LED patterns, where musicians perform in the water, before inviting the children and their parents to experiment with sound-making.

The performance fosters collaboration, creativity, and scientific inquiry, strengthening connections between children and their parents or grandparents through shared discovery.

Sessions

The sessions are designed for specific age groups

Each level is differentiated in the way the facilitators speak and interact with the children

3 - 5 years

Is focused on play, discovery and connection with the grown up that has come with them

July 15th: 9:30am

July 16th: 9:30am & 10:45am

6 - 9 years

Is about play, discovery and connection too, but there are opportunities for the children to perform for the group and show what they have discovered.

July 14th: 1:30pm & 2:45pm

July 15th: 10:45am

8 - 11 years

While there is plenty of play, discovery and connection in this show, we talk much more about the science of sound and water, and lead structured improvisation and composition activities with the children in small groups. They often end the session by performing their work for each other

July 15th: 1pm (performance + optional composition & mallet making workshop)

As well as being a transformative experience for the children participating in the show, it is also a chance to build connection between children and parents and/or grandparents throughout the process of discovery and creativity. In this spirit, for the 3-5 & 6-9 age groups it is encouraged to come with just one guardian per child
Sessions for ages of 8 -11 are able to bring one guardian per child or drop off/pick up
Each session is 40 minutes in duration
Performance contains haze effects

A massive thank you to the Shire of Ravensthorpe for funding support for this event through the Cultural Development Fund
