Camp Culture
Can the Kumbayas, throw on Queen B and spark more than just the fire
This is your roll call for Camp Culture – An interactive circus show for campers of any age. But this is no gammin summer camp – it’s serving up equal parts skill and sass.
Hosted by seasoned and completely unqualified camp leader Dale Woodbridge Brown. He can’t use a compass but will show that no matter where you come from, there’s always a way to earn your badge for being your most authentic self. From growing up as a Faboriginal kid from the bush to one of Australia’s most prolific circus artists – his ability to use humour and heart to empower unrepresented voices will leave campers begging to stay just a little longer!
Co-commissioned and presented by YIRRAMBOI Festival and ArtPlay.
Premiering at Sydney World Pride.
