Creativity, chaos and costume collide in these playful, hands-on workshops. Kids, and their grown-ups, are invited to dig through piles of colourful fabric, build wild new outfits, and strut their stuff on the catwalk. 

No sewing skills needed – just imagination, curiosity, and a sense of fun. Fast Fashun Artists will be on hand to help with safety pins, styling, and catwalk coaching. Expect laughter, chaos, dress-ups, and plenty of photo moments. 

Recommended for ages 4–12. Grown-ups must stay and are encouraged to join in the fun. 
These workshops are easy, flexible, and built for all kinds of bodies and brains.  

Created by Melbourne-based collective Fast Fashun, CURTAIN CALL transforms clothing waste into spectacle – while inviting audiences to rethink fashion, sustainability and who gets to take centre stage.
