TWO adventurous performers use science, circus, puppetry, and imagination to give you a glimpse into history that you will not forget.
Dinosaur Time Machine incorporates up-to-date science and discoveries made about dinosaurs and the environment that they lived in and presents it in a fun and highly visual way.
It incorporates circus, puppetry, simple narrative and imaginative play in this unique educational theatre production.
The science does not stop at palaeontology: concepts such as continental drift, geography, climatology, and biology are also incorporated. And did we mention the life-sized baby T-rex?
Dinosaur Time Machine incorporates many interactive elements for young audiences, encouraging engagement throughout.
There’s no fourth wall to this show: audience are invited to play with the actors to discover the lives of dinosaurs, whether that’s through light audience participation (for example, holding a prop), or calling out answers to questions.
Dinosaur Time Machine tours with two real fossils that audiences can see at the show (a coprolite and a dinosaur tooth).
From visual learners to tactile learners, Dinosaur Time Machine has something engaging for everyone.
Dinosaur Time Machine was created as a 20-minute circus show commissioned by Scienceworks in Melbourne, to tie in with their Tyrannosauridae exhibition in 2015.
From there. Highwire Entertainment worked with writer and director Pablo Latona to expand the circus and science communication style show into a full-length theatre show full of up-to-date science facts: because kids and adults alike love dinosaurs, and they love facts.
Dinosaur Time Machine was awarded Adelaide Advertiser Best Children’s Show (Adelaide Fringe 2016) and has performed to sold-out audiences of fellow dino fans at many Adelaide Fringe Festivals since.
It’s showing this Saturday at 1pm at Swan Hill Town Hall.
Tickets range from $18-$25. Purchase through the town hall website or the booking office.
