Albany Entertainment Centre, CircuitWest and Ad Lib Collective present a Playing WA tour

Drip Drop Play by Ad Lib Collective is a joyful and calming sensory experience that encourages children to listen, explore and play in an immersive colourful world of ice and water.

With sessions designed for specific age groups, 3 - 5, 6 - 9 and 10 - 12, each level is differentiated in the way the facilitators speak and interact with the children. The younger sessions are more about play and discovery and the older sessions feature more of the science of sound and musical composition activities.

Led by silent characters Drip and Drop, the experience begins in a welcome room with lighting, song, and listening games, encouraging attentive listening and engagement. In the Ice Room, melting ice pieces create a dynamic soundscape, which children alter using found objects such as tins and cups. The final space features giant water bowls illuminated by shifting LED patterns, where musicians perform in the water, before inviting the children and their parents to experiment with sound-making. The performance fosters collaboration, creativity, and scientific inquiry, strengthening connections between children and their parents or grandparents through shared discovery.

With comments like “Man, that was satisfying” and “How is she doing that?”, the wonder and awe of child and adult participants alike is evident through feedback received throughout previous seasons.
