The Balance of Curiosity

From August through until December 2016 Barking Spider Visual Theatre worked with Fitzroy High School, to facilitate a major installation performance work generated by the students. The Balance of Curiosity was a promenade style immersive theatre experience, encompassing multiple art platforms.

Students from years 7-11 elected to be a part of this remarkable project. The project was created as a response to Barking Spider’s 2016 museum installation THE HOUSE OF DREAMS. This provided a springboard into the project, which was completely driven and realised by the students.
