"Like Me, Like You"
By Act Now Theatre
Like Me, Like You introduces little ones to the idea of inclusivity, celebrating different cultures and sows the seeds for anti-racism and bullying prevention.Students will meet three characters through a series of short scenes with songs, dance, puppets and stories that build their sense of personal safety and belonging, and teach them how to advocate for themselves and each other.
Like Me, Like You was developed throughout 2018 in close partnership with Reconciliation SA, the Department for Education, Catholic Education South Australia, and the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia. Additionally, we would like to thank the following artists and schools for helping develop the work: Jermaine Hampton, Karno Martin, Mahira Hasanovic, Stephanie Fisher, Lochy Maybury, and Lachy Micklethwaite and Kaurna Plains School, Kilkenny Primary School, and Upper Sturt Primary School.
Prince Pipsqueak
A new children's theatre show about a little Prince thrown into a big King's world.
'Prince Pipsqueak isn't your average prince. He’d rather be catching butterflies than running a kingdom. But when the King and Queen go on holiday, it’s up to Pipsqueak to take charge. With the help of his friends, can Pipsqueak transform into a proper prince before the kingdom falls into chaos?
'Prince Pipsqueak will break new ground in children’s theatre at the 2016 Adelaide Fringe as it explores gender stereotypes and the pressures of masculinity facing young boys during their development. The pressures that Pipsqueak faces to transform into a proper Prince reflect the real struggles that many young boys face to meet society’s standards of masculinity.
Prince Pipsqueak celebrates the diversity of children and their wonderful capacity to combine feminine and masculine qualities, as well as encourage tolerance and acceptance. The show takes the form of a modern fairytale, with humour, playfulness and a sense of adventure injected into the storytelling.
