Tangled Web

Polyglot Theatre's brand new interactive show, Tangled Web, will be getting its first public airing this March at ArtPlay as part of the 2011 Moomba Festival. Tangled Web is a huge, messy, fun and interactive elastic-weaving event created in real time by children and their families. It’s part mass visual arts installation, part performance, part playground, part dance party and all chaos. Starting with nothing but a giant peg board, children and families create a landscape together, tangling and weaving coloured elastic through giant poles. The result is like a shared squiggly line drawing in three dimensions that creates a stretchy bouncy playground, fuelled by live music and culminating in a big dance party. Tangled Web is an experiment where children take control to create a giant, abstract, tangled artwork which everyone owns. 12 to 14 Mar 2011 Times: 11am to 6pm, daily Ages: 1 to 100 Venue: ArtPlay, Birrarung Marr, behind Federation Square, Melbourne Cost: Free!
