These are the amazing shows that received the FRINGE WORLD & Inspiring WA Science-Arts Grant last season:

🌈 Hugo's Rainbow Show - A magical, musical journey exploring the science of the skies through rainbows, weather and whimsical storytelling. Perfect for children aged 2 to 10 years and neurodivergent audiences, it offers an inclusive, playful environment that encourages curiosity and creativity.

✨ The Birds & The Bees - A smart, funny and wildly engaging science-comedy. This show uses humour, theatre, circus and big visual moments to explore the world of native pollinators. Audiences are taken on a memorable journey through pollination, coevolution, bee behaviours and the surprising science behind the tiny creatures that power so much of our environment.
