 Heads UP!
(K-6)
-
Heads UP! is
a K-6 school show approved by the NSW Department of Education and Training
that provides children and teachers a heads up into the world of the Deaf
and their language – Auslan (Australian Sign Language).
The show promotes diversity and difference, and raises students’ awareness
levels and appreciation of people with disabilities, as one of the actors is
Deaf. The
vibrant & energetic show combines Auslan, dance, sign-singing, Aboriginal
Dreamtime, improvisation, masks, Deaf culture and a Q&A session. Heads
UP! is tailored to
meet the K-6 curriculum in the areas of CAPA (drama and dance), English, PD/H/PE, HSIE and (LOTE)
and has played to huge acclaim
since opening in 2003.
Our comprehensive Teachers Pack designed to extend and reinforce
learning from the show is included in the price of all performances.
The Pack includes discussion questions, extension activities, games
and worksheets.
