Outreach
Theatre Kimberley runs two Outreach programs - the Act Belong Commit Dragonfly Outreach Program, and Big Country Puppets. These travel to remote towns and Aboriginal communities across the Kimberley to provide unique and invaluable performing arts opportunities for local people - often children and youth - to creatively express the diversity of experience and richness of Kimberley life, country and culture.
Dragonfly
The Act Belong Commit Dragonfly Outreach Program partners with community schools, where students work with trainers to learn arts skills - often circus - and develop a show.

Big Country Puppets
The Big Country Puppets program partners with Indigenous Ranger groups and schools, using puppetry, music, and First Nations languages to tell important local stories connected to the cultural and scientific work that Ranger groups do on-country.
