Performance | Australia

Alex Walker (House of Muchness) and Ben Landau

If you’ve ever thought kids could do a better job running this country, you’ll like The Children’s Party. The young cast are creating Australia’s first child-led political party – with the help their young audiences. Asking what it means to include the voices of 6 to 12 year-olds in our political conversation, The Children’s Party lets arts and politics collide to explore what role young people want to play in shaping our world.

This genre-defying event is brought to you by Alex Walker and Ben Landau in collaboration with members of House of Muchness. For the Children’s Party Walker and Landau bring their respective backgrounds in youth theatre (Walker) and design (Landau) together to provide young people with a stage to express their ideas. It’s the School of Life meets Montessori, with a healthy dose of philosophy to boot.
