Yes Yes Yes – Schools Performance

Jamie and Ari like each other.  Hannah and Tom do too  😉

They might be at two separate parties, but their stories are identical – until they really aren’t.

Part confession, part documentary, part open conversation, Yes Yes Yes is a theatre show created for young people to explore the knotty but very necessary topics of healthy relationships, consent, and desire.  Combining innovative and engaging theatre craft with best practice consent education, Yes Yes Yes provides a safe emotional place for audiences to engage with challenging issues.

“Should you and all the young people you know see this show? 
Yes Yes Yes. Yes Yes Yes. YES YES YES.” – Theatreview

 

Headspace will be on hand to provide information and support to teachers and students at this event. 

 

School Wellbeing staff are encouraged to attend this event with their students.

The Bushwackers

The Bushwackers, Australia’s most beloved folk and country band, are set to ignite the Horsham Heritage Hall with their standout performances.  With a resurgence in popularity after their sensational run on The Voice Australia in 2023, The Bushwackers, led by the dynamic Dobe Newton and Roger Corbett, have become synonymous with the heart and soul of Australian music.

 

With tunes drawn from the shearing sheds in the bush and original songs such as I Am Australian and Beneath The Southern Cross to Friend For Life and Another Trip to Bunnings, their foot-stomping music and heartfelt lyrics have united generations, celebrating Australia’s cultural heritage.

 

The Bushwackers have won three Golden Guitar Awards, created 26 studio albums, been inducted into the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown and in 2024, won the Contribution to Folk Music Award at the Folk Alliance Australia Awards.  They continue to sell out shows and attract fans spanning multiple generations.

 

The Bushwackers’ legendary performances promise an unforgettable experience at Horsham. They bring all the humour, stories and music that has made The Bushwackers perennial festival favourites and will create an afternoon to remember.

 

Kaleidoscope

Queer culture is a kaleidoscope; ever changing with endless possibilities contained within the human experience.

Kaleidoscope is an exhibition that explores the idea of queerness in its many forms. It embraces, celebrates and emphasizes the differences and experiences that have shaped the lives of those within this community from varied and diverse perspectives. Each artwork reflects life through a queer lens, and approaches the ideas explored in this exhibition as an expression of identity, desire and representation.

From contemporary love to the darker side of social movements that changed lives, queer history is an active process that is ever evolving, and this exhibition aims to give agency to the subjects and their experiences.

Many of the works in this exhibition are by artists who identify as queer; some are by artists who lived in times when such identification was not possible; and some works are not by queer artists but have a connection to queer histories.

Kaleidoscope is about celebrating, remembering, representing, learning and connecting through art.

This exhibition is supported by the generosity of its Major Supporter the Wimmera Pride Project, and Exhibition Supporter the Dimboola Imaginarium.

IMAGINE LIVE by Jolyon James

“It’s about animals!”…”It’s about Imagination!”…“It’s about our Home!”

Magical and meaningful, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of creativity, friendship and our precious natural world. With the help of the audience, performers play and sing their way through the pages of Alison Lester’s iconic best-selling book, and quickly discover there is WAY more to these pages than they first thought.

Spot a leopard, dive with a dolphin or dig up a dinosaur as this iconic book springs into life before your eyes.

IMAGINE LIVE combines live action and animation with digital puppetry in a large-scale, multi-screen performance. Underscored by original music, characters and objects travel between real and animated worlds, responding in real time to audience input. Beautiful and meaningful, IMAGINE LIVE is a celebration of the transformative power of creativity.

Suitable for ages 4 -12yo

Widely adored for his glamorous performances and cheeky humour, Hans has kept much of his personal life under wraps… until now. In Young, Fun & 21, the international superstar opens up to audiences in an unforgettable birthday party celebration joined by his dynamic live band, The Ungrateful B*stards, and the fabulous dancers, The Lucky B*tches.
