Monster sized imaginationEvery child has a monster sized imagination.It feeds on curiosity and serious fun.It’s a playful, extraordinary, thriving creature.

Every monster imagination is di� erent.There are gentle ones, there are wild ones.Some love music. Others love to dance.They all love to play. Some even ask questions...big, hard ones.

But what they all have in common is this:A monster imagination is a child’s best friend. Together they can create the most wonderful things – ideas, artworks and stories to be cherished.

This Out of the Box festival is designed for children and their monster sized imaginations. Use this brochure to design an entertaining day that you can all share together.

It’s an experience that will feed your child’s monster sized potential!

WELCOME TO OUT OF THE BOX

QPAC’s Out of the Box has entertained, inspired and captivated children for over twenty years. In

2014 it returns to QPAC to shine a 2014 it returns to QPAC to shine a spotlight on the world’s best arts and spotlight on the world’s best arts and

culture for children eight years and under. This year the program explores the many relationships children have with living creatures, both real and imaginary – human, animal, monster, friend.

Out of the Box takes place across the Cultural Precinct, from its hub at QPAC to the State Library of Queensland, Queensland Museum and Queensland Art Gallery and GoMA.

Since the festival’s inception in 1992, QPAC has provided national leadership in the area of early childhood arts education through Out of the Box. The festival is committed to informing and inspiring babies, children, parents, grandparents, care-givers, clinicians and teachers. It is built on the simple foundation that children matter and that arts rich experiences lead to a sense of unfolding discovery in children and adults alike.

A creative and innovative economy is going to drive innovation and growth in the future. I hope that those children who participate in and create art during Out of the Box will be inspired to become some of our creative leaders in future generations.

The Hon. Ian Walker MPMinister for Science, Information Technology,Innovation and the Arts

Children matter. Out of the Box is a festival that celebrates that fact and encourages children to voice their opinions and stories, participate in and create artworks, to be naturally curious and to play.

Now in its 22nd year, Out of Box provides a remarkable line-up of the country’s best artists and companies in a rich program that incorporates a range of free events and activities. QPAC has partnered with our Cultural Precinct colleagues for an immersive experience for families across the Precinct. We thank them for their on-going support for the Festival and the expertise they o� er in children’s arts literacy.

QPAC and QUT co-present this year’s Symposium – the International Teaching Artists Conference (ITAC). ITAC joins artists and teachers in conversation with their international colleagues over 3 days. As a former teacher, I believe this event will be one of intense learning and discussion and I am proud we will be hosting world experts working at the forefront of arts education.

For everyone at QPAC, Out of the Box is a treasured event on our calendar. I invite you and your families to take a step into the imagination of a child through Out of the Box and experience one of QPAC’s most loved events.

Carnival of the AnimalsInternationally acclaimed circus company, Circa, famed for their inventiveness, precision, and creativity, bring the joy of the animal kingdom to the Lyric Theatre stage in this physical theatre extravaganza. A blend of circus, multimedia and music, Carnival of the Animals is a magical reinvention of the classic of the Animals is a magical reinvention of the classic of the Animalsmusic by French composer, Camille Saint-Saëns. Depicting creatures from land, sea and sky, Circa’s performers take children and their adults on a safari through the lives of the tortoise, the elephant, the kangaroo, the swan, the life aquatic and many other beasts.

Featuring large digital projections and huge silk swathes, the stage is transformed into a series of wonderous animal habitats, while performers stun audiences with acrobatic feats and aerial skills. It’s an exuberant celebration of life on earth and the power of our bodies to express who we really are.
