The Box Show by Junkyard Beats

Drawing on inspiration from everyday life – home and the land – Junkyard Beats’ The Box Show is a high-energy and captivating performance that will teach your students rhythm and movement, drawing on body percussion and music produced out of recycled materials and everyday objects.

The story takes place in a magical junkyard, home to four characters who wake up each morning to find a new pile of junk. Together, they take the audience on a journey of sustainability and creative recycling. The contents of an abandoned kitchen become the greatest drum set in the world; pipes from a plumber’s van produce eerie melodies; plastic bags are an amazing musical instrument.

In the hands of Junkyard Beats, ordinary household items are transformed into extraordinary musical instruments and unwanted junk comes alive in exciting and surprising ways. With messages of sustainability at its heart, The Box Show is filled with inspiration, humour, and a lot of rhythm.
