As the winter school holidays approach, the much-anticipated Roola Boola Children’s Arts Festival is set to return to the City of Stonnington from Tuesday 27 June to Friday 7 July.
This annual festival has become a staple in Melbourne’s cultural calendar, offering an array of performances, workshops, and unique activities that will ignite the imaginations of children and families alike.
Chapel Off Chapel will be the focal point of the festival, hosting four spectacular and spellbinding performances.
From the enchanting ballet performance of The Snow Queen by Victorian State Ballet to the explosive and educational race through the alphabet with The Alphabet of Awesome Science by That Science Gang, there is something for every child’s taste.
ARC Circus presents A Bee Story, a uniquely Australian physical theatre show that combines circus, acrobatics, dance, and live music, while The Wholesome Hour brings us Polite Mammals, a delightful comedy and cabaret show featuring singing, dancing, puppets, and plenty of laughter.
In addition to the captivating performances, Chapel Off Chapel will also host 11 workshops where children can immerse themselves in magic, puppetry, circus skills, dance, music, and more.
With offerings from See Make Play, NICA, Fizz Kidz, Gumnut Music, Rebel Stepz Arts, and many others, there is a workshop to suit every child’s interests and passions.
Beyond the Chapel, the festival extends its reach with satellite activations in well-known venues and arts institutions across the City of Stonnington.
From Fizz Kidz to The Space Dance Arts Centre, Duldig Studio to Hello Music Studio, and Prahran Market to Stonnington libraries, children will have numerous opportunities to engage with creativity and artistic expression.
