Welcome to Out of the Box 2012 ...In 2012 Out of the Box celebrates its 20th birthday.

Anniversaries are a time for refl ection and gratitude

and I acknowledge the enormous contributions

from the dedicated Out of the Box staff, artists, arts

workers and volunteers of the festival over 20 years,

many of whom are still working on the current festival.

Since the festival’s inception in 1992, QPAC has

recognised the need to provide national leadership

in the area of early childhood arts education through

Out of the Box. The original belief that the early years

of children’s lives determined their future wellbeing is

as alive today as it was 20 years ago. As a publicly

funded institution, QPAC’s conviction that children’s

early lives really matter, is supported by our Cultural

Centre partners, the State Library of Queensland,

the Queensland Museum and the Queensland Art

Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art.

The festival was championed by the former CEO of

QPAC, Dr Tony Gould, and the inaugural Executive

Producer, the late June O’Dowd, with me as the

inaugural Artistic Director (1992, 1994). Artistic

Directors, Cate Fowler (1996, 1998), Susan Richer

(2000, 2002, 2004), Mark Radvan (2006, 2008),

Rose Myers (2010) and Executive Producer, Carol

Davidson (2012), have all maintained and extended

the integrity of a festival aimed at inspiring, educating

and entertaining ‘little ones’.

What distinguishes every aspect of Out of the Box

– from planning and viewing performances, eating,

playing, painting, dancing, the train trip to and from

the festival – is a deeply thought through positioning

of the role of children and their relationship within

the communities in which they live. The festival’s

underlying aim is always to enhance children’s

experience through involvement in the arts by

encouraging a sense of wonder, curiosity, discovery

and ‘serious fun’.

The importance of the concept of ‘serious fun’

as an educational imperative could not have been

known 20 years ago, but today with neuroeducation

we know for sure – we always suspected – that

children do not pay attention to boring things, it is

emotional engagement that helps the brain learn. This

is where the arts shine!

As always, there’s a glorious and vibrant program

of performances, workshops, and free events across

the entire Cultural Centre. There is also a Symposium

entitled, Connecting the Dots. Its aim is to fuse

discussions around how arts education, practice

and the science of child development can bring new

understanding to support adults who support children.

Throughout QPAC – the Board of Trustees,

management, front of house and behind the scenes

staff, Out of the Box is a treasured event on the

calendar. Its sustained excellence and commitment

to young Queenslanders is something we are all

justifi ably proud of and committed to continuing in the

years to come. We look forward to welcoming you

all – thousands of beautiful, hopeful, eager children,

your families, carers and teachers – to help us sing a

loud and joyful happy birthday to Out of the Box!

This ground-breaking and beautiful production explores the moment by moment fascination of being a baby. Developed through extensive research into ways in which babies and their adults tune into one another, this gentle piece is presented especially for babies and parents. At times, the performance becomes a special space where babies and performers together create something spontaneous and uniquely original. As they observe each other dancing, creating sounds and images together, the babies become comfortable and are encouraged to voyage bravely out to meet the performers with their own sounds and movements.A SALLY CHANCE DANCE PRODUCTION

Lack of physical exercise for a baby has the same effects as for an adult, resulting in poor digestion, emotional agitation and poor circulation. Baby Yoga offers a special yogababysequence of movements that assist with babies’ postural development from lying to walking. After the yogababysequence, there is time for parent yoga - these postures are specifi cally designed to help new mums regain physical strength and tone in a safe and effective way. During the session you will be offered the choice to involve your baby in the yoga postures or have him or her close by. CLASSES BY YOGABABY

Chalk the Walk

Children are invited to share their experience of the festival through pictures and words directly onto the walls of the QPAC Tunnel!

Running through the heart of QPAC, the pedestrian tunnel will become a giant chalk board and gallery. Blackboard balloons will fi ll the walls, providing a perfect canvas for creative young artists to share the magical moments of their day.

Drawing tables and a gallery wall will offer an alternative space for budding visual artists. Parents and carers can join in or sit back with a coffee and watch proceedings from the adjoining lounge.
