The Art House presents
Holiday Island
Created by Ali Gordon and Alicia Gonzalez
As part of the Summer at The Art House program
A clown yearns for a summer getaway, so she decides to create it herself. With nine colourful suitcases in tow, she builds an imaginary world of play, relaxation and togetherness: Holiday Island.
Like a silent film, driven by a nostalgic soundtrack, kids and their families will be treated to an uplifting and perfectly silly beach adventure, completely indoors.
Be transported to a place built from scraps of memory, hidden inside a pile of suitcases. Throughout the show, eager kids may be invited on stage, leaving the more reserved folk to enjoy the action from their seats.
Workshop available as part of a show + workshop package $22.00
Clowning Workshop - Tuesday 24th January 11.15AM + Wednesday 25th January 11.15AM
*note: parents do not require a workshop ticket but will require an adult ticket for admission to the show

Reviews
“My small grandchildren loved it… ‘wonder what’s in the next suitcase?’ Lots of cases, lots of surprises.” – Susan Blamey, Grandmother
“Watching Ali took me outside of myself and transported me to another time and place; one where the worries of the world just drift away” – Dan Challis, Musician
“Engaging and entertaining! The kids will love it! Ali is very talented and knows how to make people LAUGH!” – Tamara Hawkins, Mum
“Holiday Island is a show that is a celebration of enjoying every moment and every moment is enjoyable. The physical comedy and dance accompanied by an irresistible soundtrack is humorous and playful. The solo character has a wonderful audience connection and is able to be surprisingly cheeky but is always completely loveable. Stylistically this is a beautifully designed visual and engaging work that transcends the need for language. Fun for the whole family!” – David Wells, Performing Artist
