A Grand Day Out
Based in Melbourne
About this act
A Grand Day Out is a Melbourne stilt-walking act originally commissioned for the opening of the 2007 Melbourne Cup. The performers wear elaborate racing-inspired costumes and can appear in parades, marquees or other spaces with suitable overhead clearance. Their presentation includes guest interaction and synchronised dance, bringing movement and character to the tall silhouettes. The act's styling suits spring racing celebrations, while its combination of costume and physical performance can also be used as a feature at other functions.
