SPARK Arts Day is a hands-on, high-energy celebration of creativity designed especially for primary school–aged kids. Across one action-packed day, young people can dive into a range of artforms- 

Puppetry, circus and acrobatics, move with dance, make music, explore improv, and get stuck into visual arts. 

Led by some of Western Australia’s leading artists, each workshop is all about play, imagination, and discovering new ways to express yourself. Kids can drop in, try something new, and follow what sparks their curiosity. 

Come for an hour or stay all day—this is a space to experiment, create, and have fun.

No prior experience necessary - only a sense of adventure is required, however age limits (8+) do apply and will be strictly enforced for the safety and wellbeing of all participants. 

Parents and guardians acknowledge that acrobatics involves some inherent risks and, by having their child participate, they are voluntarily accepting all associated risks that come with learning and doing acrobatics. If you have any uncertainties about this, please chat to one of the Acrobatch trainers before the start of the workshop.
