The interactive display also allows children to walk through the site and place flowers in a flower wall.
The famous Children's Garden is going to be very popular as it has bubble machines, a pot-a-plant section, face painting, heaps of colourful flowers and plants and an amazing butterfly enclosure.
Dr Judith Slocombe, CEO of The Alannah and Madeline Foundation, is available for interviews regarding the show and the work that the Foundation does in helping to protect and prevent violence against children.

These knuckle-dragging acrobats reckon they know right from wrong: be kind, eat your veggies, ride a bike, and garden nude. After indoctrinating their kids they are taking the step out of their South Albury back yard into the Meat Market, then London, then Europe, then the rest of the world - one show at a time. The revolution starts here.
Utilising refined physical skills, crude production and self derision, Acrobat has a raw and uncompromising approach to performance. At times intimately provocative, at others politically questioning... but always entertaining. |

Love at first sight can cause a quite a stir. It certainly does for 17-year-old Manon Lescaut, who is on her way to a convent when she meets Des Grieux. Their eyes meet and so begins a romantic whirlwind towards a life of impoverished bliss. But that is nowhere near the end of the story.
Meddling family, wealthy lovers and a love of luxury send Manon and Des Grieux spinning through life in a passionate adventure which may well end in tears in this sumptuous production, with the twists and turns of fortune taking place amongst the wigs and brocade of rococo France. Gracious, moving and ever so French, Massenet's melodies just beg to be sung.
Hear Amelia Farrugia and Julian Gavin sing their hearts out with Jose Carbo and Stephen Bennett as the villains of this delicious affaire de coeur. |

Germany's Frank Heinrich aka Reboot is known to lay down tracks that are so visceral they're postively orgasmic. His approach to performance and production is based around what he calls 'complex polyrhytmic architecture' - not forgetting a musical heritage that spans house, techno, world music and jazz. With proven releases on such labels as Below, Cadenza and Cocoon, an explosive live show and DJ career that's more versatile than many imagine, Reboot has earned each inch of his reputation as a speaker-freaker.
In fact, he now spearheads what others are calling the new sound of Frankfurt, alongside friends like Chris Tietjen, Rober Dietz and Markus Fix.
So enjoy the ride, because Reboot recipe for a good time is (and always has been) abotu melding the cerebral with the visceral to detonate our gut reactions to dance, to connect and to get in-sync. |

Once upon a time, after a series of mishaps, a young Australian comedian found herself lunching in the future king's living room. Present with Sarah were: Camilla, Prince Charles, and a small selection of his celebrity friends - just hanging at the palace. Yes, the one in London.
The actual palace.
That auspicious day Sarah met stars, sportsmen and royals. She saw (and sneakily touched)original artworks; paintings that she'd only ever known as prints in her parents' kitchen. She was late, dressed in polyester & was the only guest to arrive by public transport. But she did her
country proud. This is the true story of a modern-day Cinderella (of if you'd prefer: a 'povvo in the palace').
The King & I is a comedy about living abroad, fitting in, and remembering it doesn't matter how high-stakes the occasion, you're NEVER not good enough. |

Rising UK stand up star Sanderson Jones has had death on his mind for some time, thanks to a spot of childhood bereavement. He can't escape from this thought: we all die, and then there's nothing. And, sometimes, the people we love die, but we're still here. In his MICF debut he asks: how can we cope with mortality, bereavement and the nothing that awaits?
This hour of stand up premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2009 with sell out shows, Time Out choosing it as a Pick of the Fringe2009 and The Scotsman putting it in their Fringe 2009 top 100.
As a performer Sanderson explores how a show can continue outside the venue. In Edinburgh this exploration led to his arrest whilst leading 20 dancing robots to Simply the Best, with a robotic brass band accompaniment. |
