Beneath the Surface: An Immersive Canoe Adventure and Art Installation

"Beneath the Surface: A Canoe Adventure and Art Installation" brings an extraordinary storytelling journey to life at the Festival of Canoe and Kayak. This mixed-media art installation, hosted by Wild Ground Creative Adventures and renowned art practitioners Danielle Carey and Julie Henninger, offers an immersive performance that takes families on a guided canoe trip down a magical river.

A Storytelling Journey

As families paddle along the waterway, they'll encounter five charming characters who will unfold their river tales through engaging storytelling, vibrant music, and mesmerising dance. The adventure involves piecing together clues from each creature to determine who is missing from the river ecosystem.

Interactive Art Installation

Upon reaching the floating art installation, families will have the opportunity to amplify the voice of the missing creature by crafting a personal message in a bottle - it could be a heartfelt poem or a delightful drawing. These messages will become a part of the ever-evolving art installation, echoing a commitment to support the river's health.

Building Ecological Connections

This playful, humorous, and energising narrative encourages deeper exploration of the relationship with waterways and the broader natural world. "Beneath the Surface" fosters meaningful ecological connections and sparks reflection on the significance of maintaining a healthy river ecosystem.

Supported by Valley Outdoors, Southbound Adventures, Take3 for the Sea, and Festivals Australia, this family-friendly event is perfect for those looking to combine a love for outdoor adventures and the arts.
