Freespace Fest 2014 Programmes for Families and Kids

Freespace Fest is a festival that really reflects what is great about Hong Kong. Not shopping, skyscrapers and tycoons – just everyday people, meeting, performing, playing and creating something special. This two-day outdoor festival is a place where artists and audiences can meet and you can truly witness the friendliness and passion that we love about the city. Get up close with like-minded people, bring art into your life and unleash your creativity!

Programmes for Families and Kids

For parents there is nothing nicer than seeing the kids absorbed in music, art or play. Bring the whole family, a picnic and a sense of adventure and you will find there is plenty to enjoy!

Tangle by Polyglot Theatre

Parents own up! Who wants to see their kids all tied up having the time of their lives while you just kick back and relax? Then ‘Tangle’ is your answer – where your kids are given a ball of colourful elastic bands to start weaving a giant interactive maze. While we don’t offer conventional nursery services, we guarantee full attention from your kids as they become mini installation artists and are encouraged to have fun – through crawling, dancing or lying on top of the bouncy maze that they make accompanied by some live music!

Suitable for 4 to 12 years-old and no, adults are not allowed even if you do dress like a tween!

Those with under 3 year-old can take your little ones into ‘Baby Tangle’ and get all tangled up together.

Access

‘Tangle’ is suitable for people of a wide range of different abilities – it is difficult for wheelchair access within the maze, but they could interact at the edge of the maze with helpers.

Back To Play

Forget about real life and start acting like a child. Remember your favourite childhood games like blind man’s buff? ‘Back To Play’ offers that same innocent joy and fun, even for jaded grownups! ‘Back To Play’ is curated by Community Art Network (CAN) who is determined to transport you back to your childhood. So forget all that high-tech gaming, bring grandma and the kids and enjoy three-generation Chinese jump rope, play hide-and-seek on our lawn, or try making your own toys and share the joy with others.

22 Nov (Sat) 11:30am-6:30pm, The Lawn

23 Nov (Sun) 11:30am-6:30pm, The Lawn

Playful Cantonese Poetry: Poetic Babble

Good poetry doesn’t have to be polished and perfect. Sometimes a child’s natural curiosity about the world will produce even better works! Enjoy a fun and playful afternoon of children’s poetry written and performed by kids, which guarantees to bring a smile on your face and help you see the world afresh through a child’s eyes.

Participating artists: (Musician) Billy Hung/(Tutor) Yuen Che Hung

23 Nov (Sun) 2pm-4:30pm, Behind Covered Deck

Farmers’ Market and Bazaar

Don't forget to visit our Farmers' Market which will be showcasing a range of fresh local produce and also take a wander around the Bazaar and check out the handicrafts and artworks. There is even a sharing session where the artists and designers will share with you how they create their works.
