Presented with Melbourne Jazz Festival

Inside Out is a place to get creative with others and let your imagination boogie!

There will be live jazz music and all sorts of materials full of razzle and ritz on hand for you to create artwork or build a play space together.

Try to draw the sound of the music or wrap and weave your own melody using ribbon and rope. Feel the flow of professional jazz musicians and cast shadows as you play. Anything is possible!

Please note:

• If we are at capacity, you may need to wait.
• We are unable to accommodate facilitated groups in this event.
• The event space will be dimly lit.
