Mini SPIN
From the makers of SPIN comes Mini SPIN, a Deaf-led immersive and interactive dance rave for Deaf, CODA (Children of Deaf Adults) and hearing children and their families at Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre, Melbourne, on 14 and 15 March.
Join Deaf hosts Anna Seymour, Luke King and Robbie Burrows for a jam-packed 45 minutes of dancing and deaf culture stories to funky DJ beats. No dance experience necessary. Just bring enthusiasm and your best moves! Mini SPIN is especially unique amongst events for families because although it is accessible for everyone, it is deaf-led and created specifically for deaf, hard of hearing and CODA children and their families. It was originally commissioned by the 2019 Melbourne Fringe Festival for the Kids Club and is an Auslan-English interpreted event and wheelchair accessible. Using low frequency bass, Auslan and balloons to assist, participants will follow the deaf hosts through a sequence of dance routines together and finish with a freestyle dance party. The event also includes theatrical skits by Anna Seymour and her team.
