“The shows were fantastic! Kids were engaged, learning and having a great time. Many staff said it was the best show they had ever seen!” – Shannon King, PTA, St. Raphael Catholic School, Raleigh
The Didgeridoo Down Under Show is an energetic fusion of Australian music, culture, comedy, character building, storytelling, and loads of audience participation. The didgeridoo has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1500 years, and it’s known for its otherworldly sound. During the show, we play a variety of exotic didgeridoos and worldly percussion instruments, demonstrating various playing styles and upbeat rhythms. We also use a multitude of props – puppets, artifacts, artwork, motivational signs and more – to deliver educational lessons and empowering messages. The program is very participatory, and several segments involve students playing instruments, dancing, or acting out a story. We adjust our programs according to the audience’s grade levels.
DDU will inspire your students to appreciate world music and art … respect multiculturalism and diversity … get excited about learning and reading … think creatively and imaginatively … act with kindness and acceptance … protect the environment … and become better global citizens. The DDU Show is interactive, educational, inspirational, motivational, and super fun for all ages!
