HOME is a KIDS THRIVE creative exploration of children’s experiences during the Covid lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, and the role ‘home’ played as both a sanctuary and place of lockdown.

HOME is a site-specific, experiential performance for family and community – and also a creative record of children’s experiences of this challenging time. Videos, children’s reflective writings and art works will be held by the Wonthaggi and District Historical Society for community access in perpetuity.
