Get caught up in Tangled Web – a huge, messy, fun and interactive elastic-weaving event created in real time by children and their families.
You will enjoy tying yourselves up in knots when you join in the Tangled Web. It’s huge, it’s messy, it’s fun and it involves creating a giant, elastic artwork. Children and their families all join in and weave long elastic strands around giant poles, in and out, up and down, creating a stretchy, bouncy playground. Performers will participate in the fun, musicians will play along and everyone will dance!
Melbourne’s Polyglot Theatre’s new interactive event premiered at the 2011 Moomba Festival and comes hot on the heels of their whirlwind 2010 UK tour.
