Here’s your helping hand to keeping Bubba entertained this June School Holidays

June holidays are around the corner and some parents are making elaborate travel plans to spend some quality time with their children.  For those who are not travelling, here’s a list of fun things to do with your children.

ACT3i Festival for ChildrenAct3i Festival

ACT 3i Festival for Children is dedicated to children from 2 to 12 years old, curated by ACT 3 International, Singapore’s leading Arts company.  The festival is packed with exquisite, high quality and awe-inspiring theatre performances that will include original works from Singapore, Italy, Sweden, Argentina, the U.K and Canada.

Happening from 24 May to 5 June, we have picked a few shows in the June holidays to highlight:

  • Marmalade by Claire Parsons Co, Sweden (for 2 to 6 year olds) – a performance that blends poetic movements with circus-based actions, Marmalade is the first collaboration between choreographer Claire Parsons and juggler Viktor Gyllenberg. The characters look at the world through the five senses as they invite audiences to feel, taste, and think about what marmalade can be.
  • Awake LOVE Orchestra by Awake Projects, Sweden/United Kingdom (for 4-12 year olds) – the Awake LOVE Orchestra is a talented ensemble made up of vocals and a variety of instruments such as string and percussion to transport audiences on a musical journey across Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe and the U.S. Composed with passion and love, the pieces are a fusion of haunting folk melodies enlivened with a contemporary groove. They are committed to make “lovely music about love with love for lovely people”, it is a brilliant avenue for children to learn about the beauty and diversity of the Arts, and a new way of viewing the world.
  • Sweet (for 4 to 8 year olds)- an interactive drop-off workshop comprising an art exhibition, art making activities, a show, as well as drama workshop and art making activities. The programme is a brilliant learning process for the child as it ignites the imagination, inspires a multi-sensory creative process, as well as encourages artistic expression and participation. Inspired by the literary works that celebrate the magical world of sweets and desserts, Sweet will feature elements of storytelling, improvisation and even gelato-making. While the session is about using desserts to inspire art-making and to teach the values of kindness, it also highlights the importance of eating in moderation.

Details:

  • Marmalade –  daily performances from 31 May to 5 June 2016 (40 minutes, no interval) | 10:30am (Tuesday to Friday) | 10:00am & 4:00pm (Saturday & Sunday). At Drama Centre Black Box, 100 Victoria Street, Level 3, National Library Building, Singapore 188064.
  • Awake LOVE Orchestra – daily performances from 31 May to 5 June 2016 (1 hour, no interval) | 10:00am (Tuesday to Friday) | 11:00am (Saturday & Sunday).  Venue: Drama Centre Theatre, 100 Victoria Street, Level 3, National Library Building, Singapore 188064.
