Overview
Forget the Kumbayas – throw on Queen B and spark more than just the fire!
This is your roll call for Camp Culture – an interactive circus show hosted by seasoned and hilariously unqualified camp leader Dale Woodbridge-Brown. But this is no gammin summer camp – it’s serving up equal parts skill and sass. Dale can’t use a compass, but he’ll show you that no matter where you come from, there’s always a way to earn your badge for being your most authentic self.
From growing up as a Faboriginal kid from the bush to one of Australia’s most prolific circus artists – his ability to use humour and heart to empower unrepresented voices will leave campers begging to stay just a little longer!
