Entertaining show with a focus on recycling & sustainability to hit stage

May 24, 2023 BY

Hamilton Performing Arts Centre (HPAC) will soon welcome a fun and engaging show from the creative team at Junkyard Beats that fuses music, rhythm and movement with creative recycling!

Two brothers from the faraway planet JUNKLANDIA embark on a mission to Earth to teach the earthlings the Junklandian ways of music and creative recycling! This show is a spectacle of music, comedy, circus and dance that is guaranteed to blow your mind!

The show ends with an incredible ‘Junk Orchestra’ where each audience member, equipped with a recycled instrument, will come together to create a oneof-a-kind Junkyard Band! By uniting in rhythm, music and movement the audience can experience the tangible power of collaboration & teamwork whilst having fun. The show welcomes school groups, homeschoolers, preschoolers, and the general public to Hamilton Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday, May 31, at 11am. This Junkyard Beats Production is an unforgettable experience where you get to witness all the creative elements that Tom (Tomi-Taka) and Kobe (Kobe-Na) are passionate about.

It utilises they’re expertise in rhythm, music, humor, physical theatre, and circus arts whilst taking the audience on a captivating journey about how through teamwork and creativity we can overcome seemingly insurmountable issues like pollution.

“I loved the music and dancing! And I loved getting to play music with the boys at the end!” – Student at St Columba’s School.

Members of the public with little ones at home are invited to attend the show alongside invited local schools, with tickets available from $13 via hamiltonpac.com.au. This project is supported by Regional Arts Victoria and Creative Victoria.
