Music, circus and movie fun in school holidays

Published on 04 June 2019

Corangamite school kids have some awesome experiences coming up these school holidays as part of Council’s arts and culture program.

Corangamite Shire Council Economic Development and Events Officer Tammy Young invited students from across the Shire to come into Camperdown to join in the fun.

“On Wednesday 3 July Polyglot Theatre will run a workshop at the Killara Centre in Camperdown with Clippy—a unique digital instrument that makes sounds from everyday objects,” Ms Young said.

“Clippy allows anyone to make their own instrument. You don’t have to be able to read music or play an instrument to create your own compositions.”

The following Wednesday, 10 July, young residents can learn big top skills during a Circus Oz Stack Up workshop at the Theatre Royal.

“Circus Oz is world famous for is circus skills and this is an opportunity for primary and secondary-aged students to learn fundamental skills with trainers drawing on Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships learning materials,” Ms Young said.

“They can step outside their comfort zone in a safe and supportive environment as they balancing, juggling, hula hoops and plate spinning.”

Both workshops cost $5 per child.

There will also be two free movies at the Theatre Royal:  Ralph Breaks the Internet on Thursday 4 July, and The Grinch on Thursday 11 July.

“In the sequel to Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) are back in trouble again when they get loose on the internet.

“As a bit of Christmas in July fun, The Grinch is a 3D animated version of the Dr Seuss classic about the monster who tries to steal Christmas.”

There will be no charge for the movies, with food and drink including popcorn available for purchase. Doors open at 1 pm for a 1:30 pm start.

“The workshops and movies are timed to fit in with Pope’s bus times from Timboon to make it easier for Timboon and Cobden people to come and join in,” Ms Young said.
