Ahead of our SALT Festival visit, the Patch team trialled Light Beats with a group of delighted children at Immersive Light and Art. Light Beats will be showing in the Southern Eyre Peninsula 20–28 April.

We highly value input from children in the development of new productions. By having children test our shows before they premiere, we ensure that our work resonates with our young audience and keeps them at the heart of our creative process.

Light Beats contains elements of our new interactive installations Superluminal and Wonderverse, premiering in the second half of 2024.

Children use colour-changing lanterns to explore a muti-layered artwork depicting various animals. When the lanterns change colour, different layers of the artwork appear. This will be presented as part of Superluminal, premiering at the South Australian Museum in July.

Children are led by performer Edgell to create a spectacular light and sound show (ending with a dance!) featuring music by Elisha Umuhuri from DEM MOB. This will be presented as part of Wonderverse, premiering at the University of Adelaide in October.

Superluminal school tickets are on sale now with family tickets on sale from 1 May.

Wonderverse school sessions are booked out (waitlist available) and family bookings open August 2024.
