PLAYING UP is a game of sorts that you can all play together as a family. So, pick a card, grab your corresponding box or find your ‘art station’ and away you go. This is an opportunity to get really immersed with the kids, learn about real life art pieces and create your own version of some famous works.

PLAYING UP takes the form of a game played by adults and kids together.
Children, grown-ups, families and friends are all welcome to this event over the school holidays.
Pick a card, follow the instructions, create your own piece of Live Art, and perform it.
Anything goes - Remote control your parents, start a protest, barrier tape any space, build what-happens-next-machines!
PLAYING UP is essentially an artwork by SIBYLLE PETERS of Theatre of Research, exploring how Live Art can bridge generations and suggest different ways of looking at the world.
