Justine Clarke is taking her musical magic on the road with her latest show, I Am A…Band. Building on her previous blockbuster concerts, this show focuses on the band exploring the amazing range of sounds produced by musical instruments, traditional and otherwise. Clarke enthusiastically encourages her young audiences to dance and sing with the message that with a bit of imagination, they can be anything.
Clarke began acting as a child following in her mother’s footsteps. She’s now an award-winning actress, consummate children’s entertainer and phenomenally diverse performer. A long-standing presenter on Playschool, she’s also starred in several Australian films and brought numerous television characters to life most recently playing Bernadette in ABC 1’s Time of Our Lives. Her stage and screen credits are extensive, but right now she’s the Pied Piper of her own musical journey.
What Clarke loves about live shows is “the immediacy of the response, the complicity you have with an audience, the energy that both performer and audience exchange and especially with music, the celebration,” she related. Her shows are always an imaginative colourful celebration of childhood through music, song and movement bringing heart and soul bright and bold. It’s no wonder she’s so well loved.
Grab the kids then go move and groove to familiar tunes with Justine Clarke’s I Am… a Band brought to you by Live Nation Entertainment at Frankston Arts Centre on Tuesday, July 8 at 10:30 am. Bookings on 9784 1060 or www.thefac.com.au.
