Get Your Geek On

Get Your Geek On - Theatre Meets Innovation at Bulmba-ja!

Join JUTE Theatre Company and Launch Y(E)P for a jam-packed day of performance and hands-on workshops that celebrate creativity, problem-solving, and big ideas.

The Play: Get Your Geek On by Isaac Drandic
Meet Djirra, a 12-year-old science whizz inspired by Indigenous inventor David Unaipon. With fizzing volcanoes, walking robots, and plenty of laughs, Djirra is on a mission to create the world’s greatest invention - if she can outsmart her classmate Kevin first!

Workshops
Alongside the play, take part in dynamic theatre and innovation workshops:

• The Problem Solvers: Designing Solutions That Make a Difference
  Identify meaningful challenges within your community and discover innovative ways to design solutions, fostering creative problem-solving skills.

• Build a Side Hustle: From Idea to Action
  Explore how to turn your passions into real-world business ideas, learning the basics of launching a small project or business.

Perfect for students, families, and anyone curious about how creativity and entrepreneurship go hand in hand.

Suggested age groups: primary school age - year 9

Please note: Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult in the Theatre (play and workshops). Parents are required to sign their children into the Innovation workshops in Studio B and are asked to remain in the Bulmba-ja building.
