First stop Brookfield Properties! Ready to be all Tangled up USA??Tangle is a huge, fun, totally interactive elastic weaving event, created live and on the spot by children and their families. It’s part spectacular live art, part performance, part playground and all chaos. Participants are each given a ball of soft elastic to weave around and through 24 tall slender golden poles. Strand by strand the kids create a dense multi-coloured landscape, tangled and interwoven to make a place where they can play and explore and bounce. Tangle takes individual paths and interconnects them to form a hilarious metaphor for life. Featuring live music, this beautiful event is a place where children take control and create a giant shared abstract artwork that everyone owns and anyone can play in.
"This is children's play invisibly directed and unfolding" - The Age, Melbourne, Australia "This is an opportunity you rarely get to do since you can't do it at home or anywhere else." - Bethany, 13

Why Oklahoma, Hello!We Built This City is an interactive play space for families which celebrates absolute simplicity and the power of children’s imaginations. A giant public construction site, We Built This City uses thousands and thousands of cardboard boxes and the energy and ingenuity of kids and families to build a magnificent imagined city in one day. Buildings go up, are pulled down, redesigned, extended, walked through and reconstructed; the participants make tunnels, archways, towers and labyrinths. At the end of the event, we ritualistically build a final cityscape, using every box in the space. Then everyone joins in trampling the city down into a gloriously chaotic heap of cardboard rubble. Live music or a DJ underscores the action as participants are guided by performers in the roles of construction workers who facilitate free play, perform as hilarious characters and sometimes set tasks that bring people together to build in unity. We Built This City simultaneously places children in the role of performer, creator, audience and architect. It is not a play… it is play.
