What happens when eight kids descend on the Festival program ? Four brutally honest , hilarious and insightful podcasts .
Kids vs Art was a podcast series directed by Jackson Castiglione and Jason Maling of Field Theory and co-produced by Arts House and Melbourne Fringe . Children aged between 8 and 12 were handed the mic and let loose on the world of contemporary art and performance .
With 5,309 streams and downloads , people tuned in each Thursday to hear the hilarious , insightful and cutting comments from Fringe ’ s elite team of reviewers .
“
THESE CHILDREN , WHO HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE INSIGHTFUL , FUNNY , AND CUTTINGLY CRITICAL , ARE ABLE TO READ THE WORK PURELY AS IT STANDS . THE PODCAST REMINDS US NOT ONLY TO LISTEN TO CHILDREN MORE – AND THAT CHILDREN ARE MORE INTELLIGENT AND CAN TAKE ON MORE RESPONSIBILITY THAN WE OFTEN ASSUME – BUT IT ALSO REMINDS US TO LISTEN TO OURSELVES MORE , TOO .”
