PRESENTED BY ONE STEP AT A TIME LIKE THIS & RICHARD JORDAN PRODUCTIONS UPSIDEDOWNINSIDEOUT

Mon 22 Feb MON - 3:00pm - 4:20pm MON - 6:30pm - 9:00pm Wed 24 Feb WED - 1:00pm - 7:40pm Fri 26 Feb FRI - 12:00pm - 4:30pm

40 minutes Brisbane Powerhouse Family

Join an imaginary girl and her interactive book and films on an adventure into the secret heart of a performing arts building.

What if a storybook could actually take you on a real life adventure to hidden and secret locations within the labyrinth of a performing arts building? upsidedowninsideout is an immersive journey-based show for 7–12 year olds that is an ingenious combination of a children’s book, self-guided tour, installation and puzzle, uniquely created for each venue it inhabits.

Guided by an interactive storybook, children and their adults follow clues and instructions as they discover hidden pathways on a quest for the secret at the heart of the building. Children act as both participant and guide – they are led by the book, but also lead their family members, finding clues, secret rooms and unexpected films from an imaginary world – or is it?

Originally commissioned by Arts Centre Melbourne.

Please note: delegates will be required to sign-up for this Showcase from Monday 22 February at the Information Desk.
