“One of the best shows that I have had in my 35 years as a children’s librarian!”– JoAnne Powell, Peabody Institute Library of Danvers, MA
Join us for an epic adventure to “unearth a story” and “plant a seed” in the Land Down Under! The DDU Show is an energetic fusion of Australian music, culture, comedy, character building, storytelling, and loads of audience movement and participation. The didgeridoo has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1,500 years, and it’s known for its otherworldly sound. We’ll explore the Outback and the Great Barrier Reef, we’ll unearth Aboriginal artwork and artifacts, we’ll learn about amazing creatures like kangaroos and koalas … and much more … all while moving and grooving to the pulsing rhythms of the didge. The DDU Show is interactive, educational, motivational and super fun for all ages!
Aussie Funk Jam Workshop
”I usually don’t stay in for the whole program, but I couldn’t leave today. I was spellbound!” – Alice Grace, Youth Librarian, Orange County South Trail Library, FL
In this interactive and hands-on program. we teach how to play the didgeridoo, including vocalizing, creating simple rhythms and more, with our beginner instruments (clean & sanitized, of course). Participants will be mesmerized, inspired and motivated as they enjoy a unique multicultural music experience! It’s ideal for teens and tweens, but OK for ages 8 and up.
Music & More from Down Under and Beyond Music & More takes the audience on a musical journey to Australia and other distant places, as the performer plays an assortment of exotic didgeridoos and worldly percussion instruments … mixed with colorful talking points and humor. Our performers play a modern style, mixing fast-paced rhythms with relaxing soundscapes and organic sound effects. This program is best for adults, but it’s OK for kids with parental accompaniment.
Our Programs are Affordable!
