…A long long time ago
Back when the dream time was a little slow
Sung a bird called Wahn
Wahn the beautiful colourful crow.

In Actor On A Box: The Dreaming, director Leah Purcell leads young audiences back to the very beginnings of Pamanyungun, respectfully sharing stories passed on to her about the great spiritual powers of the ancestors and the awakening of the land – Wake Up Australia!

Performed by Angeline Penrith, Actor On A Box: The Dreaming, will fuse traditional and contemporary storytelling with movement and music, humour and play, to create a very special dream time experience for children.

The latest Actor On A Box will be joyful and playful experience, created by Purcell to make some of her people’s precious stories accessible to children and families from all communities. The Actor On A Box series is theatre designed to create a space for imaginations to soar, curiosity to sharpen and wonder to take flight. The performances are an enchanting experience of theatre for children – and those big people lucky enough to accompany them.

Actor On A Box is made possible through the support of the Nelson Meers Foundation.
