WISHFUL THINKING BECOMES A REALITY AT DRTCC
Acrobatic virtuosity, state of the art creative technology and a kaleidoscope of colour will explode onto the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre’s (DRTCC) stage on Tuesday 17 September 2024.
I Wish…is an acrobatic adventure that combines Geoff Cobham’s signature high tech projections and stunning lighting design, with Darcy Grant’s lauded acrobatic choreography in a unique collaboration between two of South Australia’s leading artistic companies.
The production has been specifically crafted by Patch Theatre and renowned circus company Gravity and Other Myths (GOM) for children between 4 and 12 years of age.
“The show explores the notion that people are made up of lots of stuff, good stuff and bad stuff, happy and sad stuff, stinky, old, boring, dangerous, funny, sparkling potions kind of stuff. But in amongst it all, every single person has a secret ingredient, we just need to figure out what our secret ingredient is,” Patch Theatre Artist Director Geoff Cobham said.
“The work explores feelings, emotions, moods and sensations. It looks at our ability to transfer emotions or feelings from ourselves to someone else and explores the role that colours play in reflecting our mood.”
Manager Regional Events Linda Christof explained that throughout the production, the performing artists will celebrate and explore a range of emotions.
“It doesn’t shy away from examining anxieties and insecurities. Instead, it tenderly explores the worries children may internalise, but it does this in a positive and creative way to encourage children to open up about their feelings,” Ms Christof said.
I Wish… will be performed at 12pm and 6pm.
With the school show already sold out, why not make it a family outing and head to the DRTCC wearing your favourite colour and catch the 6pm show!
