FREE  CANADA COUNTRY HAIRCUTS BY CHILDREN MAMMALIAN DIVING REFLEX “Part performance art, part public service, part therapy.” ~ CALGARY HERALD There’s talk about empowering our youth, but how much power will we actually allow them? We urge them to shape their destinies, but will you let them shape your hair? #melbfest Haircuts by Children is what it says on the tin. Kids are given the tools they require to become working hairdressers, and all that’s needed is their clientele. Simple in concept, but the implications run deep. Canada’s Mammalian Diving Reflex gleefully deconstruct theatre while maintaining its most vital purpose: to ascertain what it means to be alive, here, today, with each other. 12 // Presented with In association with With support from 12 — 4PM FREE For locations and bookings visit www.festival.melbourne IMAGE | IMAGE If you’ve ever looked at modern art and thought “my kid could do that,” it’s time to put yourself to the test.
