  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

Having earned its merit and popularity at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, award-winning performer Jens Altheimer brings his newest show โ€˜Loose Endsโ€™ to the Ipswich Art Gallery to entertain Brisbane Kids for the holidays.ย The award-nominated family show is being described as the opportunity to ‘Experience extraordinary visual theatre, set in a wondrous tinkering heaven!’.

Loose Ends invites the audience into a world where gadgets are poetic, puppets are naughty, machines are untamed and circus tricks pop-up when youโ€™re least expecting it! It is a world where familiar household items are transformed and used in ways you would least expect, leaving the audience stunned by the amazing contraptions they have seen come to life before their very eyes.

Puppets are used, along with everyday items and the talented Paris-trained, multi-disciplinary circus artist and quirkologist, Altheimer, brings a quality, creative and quirky tale to life.

This ‘out of the ordinary’ show deals with the heart-warming themes of friendship, acceptance and loyalty, presented with an energised mix of circus and puppetry.

Loose Ends is a charming, fun and engaging show that is recommended for Brisbane Kids aged 5 years and over and their parents (as there are some scenes that may frighten children under 5).
