Ready, Steady, Go


On Tuesday night Sina and I went to the opening of OOTB. It was held in the cultural forecourt at QPAC and was for me a little disappointing. I had been expecting to see a show in one of the theatres, although in retrospect of course, there was nothing in the program that indicated that this would be happening so this was completely an assumption of mine.
I had a nice time catching up with people, both friends and colleagues and had a tasty little chicken and avocado burger. Sina found a friend and ran off to watch the performances with the other kids who were there and I stood with the adults at the back and talked the whole way through the performances.... It seemed that it didn't privilege the kids or the adults and sat somewhere in the middle. For me it was a bit of an anti-climax and I felt that it didn't represent what the festival has always stood for, high quality artistic experiences for children. Sina however had a completely different opinion....
We walked to qpac and my mum sat down then my mum gave me a card to buy a slashy and we saw thea and I had to buy a salshy I had to buy my mum a boltte of water. we saw lots of shows. One of them was flipside circus. The danger bunis is a band for kids. I sat with Thea and Sisi and my favorite part was when they sang. And the island lady was danceing so fast.I had a good time.
