Calling all Kidz!
Unleash your creativity, try something you’ve never done, and get ready for incredible fun! The Brisbane Powerhouse's spectacular school holiday program, Powerkidz, gives you an unforgettable holiday experience packed with things to see, try, learn, do and enjoy. Prepare yourself for loads of school holiday fun because Powerkidz is back this year with performances, workshops and FREE stuff at Brisbane Powerhouse from Tue 29 June – Sat 10 July. It’s the one and only Powerkidz this year so make sure you don’t miss out on all the fun!
Witness the thrill of trapeze, tumbling and acrobatics in the new circus performance, Alice in Wonderland by Flipside Circus. Follow Alice down the rabbit hole on her journey through a circus wonderland of hoop-diving cards and high flying flowers. Witness acrobatic madness at the Mad Hatters tea party as performers balance on chairs and juggle teacups. With all your favourite wonderland characters, Alice in Wonderland will amaze the whole family!
Don’t miss Erth’s Dinosaur Petting Zoo where prehistoric dinosaurs come to life, from cute baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants. Get up close and personal with an amazing array of creatures from bygone eras. Meet a menagerie of insects, mammals and dinosaurs that once roamed free around the southern hemisphere, and are now in residence at the petting zoo daily. You can pet, feed and interact with them in a once-in-a-lifetime imaginative experience. Children can watch wide-eyed from a safe distance, or dare to get right up close to the creatures.
Go on an adventure with Tashi when Imaginary Theatre returns to bring to life Anna Fienberg’s well-loved adventure books. Join Tashi and his friends for two favourite stories, Tashi, The Swan & The Dragon and Tashi & the Big Stinker, before they head off on a tour of Australia. If you’ve never seen the Tashi stories on stage before, you’d better get in quick!
As usual you can be totally inspired and get involved in the awesome workshops on offer – hip hop, Latin dance, capoeira, theatre, clay animation, music video magic…you can even be in a rock band for a week… the list goes on!
New workshops this year include bubble making, Creature Feature – Rapt in Reptiles, circus aerials and African drumming. And of course there’s heaps of free stuff! Get creative and chill out with the Painting Wall, Reading Nook, Crayola Kidz Corner, Costume Corner and Powerjam. PLUS, kick a footy and learn some AFL tricks with Bernie ‘Gabba’ Vegas in Bernie’s Footy Club.
