Here are the unmissable acts taking to the stage this weekend

The adults aren’t the only ones who will be entertained at an upcoming festival this weekend. DON’T MISS THESE EVENTS.

The global pandemic wasn’t enough to stop one of Toowoomba’s most unique festivals from hitting local stages as the Curious Arts Festival performers ready themselves for this weekend’s program.

Festival co-director, Ruth Atkinson, said the festival would be a re-imagined version of the postponed March event, using the large main theatre to ensure appropriate spacing between audience groups while continuing to offer plenty of opportunities for audiences to safely explore and experience curious performances and unexpected fun.

“Curious Arts Festival wants to encourage the people of the Toowoomba Region to get in touch with their curiosity, be a little adventurous and experience a taste of something new,” she said.

Here are five “can’t miss” moments from the festival:

‘Alexa, Turn the Lights On’

Jacob Watton stars in Alexa, Turn the Lights On as part of the Curious Arts Festival.

Emerging Queensland performer and Toowoomba local Jacob Watton will premiere his theatre/dance/technology production, Alexa, Turn the Lights On.

Mr Watton grew up in Toowoomba and is a sought-after artist, creator and choreographer who has toured work both nationally and internationally.

Briefs Factory’s Brat Kids Carnival

The whole family will love well known Brisbane-based artists and international touring sensations, Briefs Factory – a crazy team of circus artists and mischief-makers.

Their show Brat Kids Carnival is a high-energy and fun show for all ages.

With wild circus skills, pumping music, ridiculous acts of amazement and eye-popping party tricks this will be a noisy, fun, silly afternoon – mum and dad will love it too!

Briefs Factory’s Club Briefs
