The Bubble Canteen
Based in Brisbane · Travels Australia-wide
About this act
Twenty thousand bubbles a minute, from tiny ones that hang in the air to giant orbs that drift across a crowd. The Bubble Canteen is an installation more than a stage act, a designated area that people wander into and don't leave quickly, and it works on adults just as reliably as it works on small children. Performers run it, so there's skill in the air alongside the spectacle. It has appeared at Brisbane Festival and at the Red Earth Arts Festival in Western Australia. Brisbane based, and insured. Good for festival hubs, family days and corporate events that need a visual centrepiece rather than a set with a start and a finish.

THE BENEFITS OF BUBBLES FOR WELL-BEING
Bubbles are a fantastic tool for promoting the wellbeing of babies and toddlers by supporting essential developmental skills. They aid in visual skill development, including fixing, following, and tracking, which are crucial for learning. Bubbles also enhance gross motor movement, balance, and muscle tone, making tummy time more enjoyable and encouraging head turning, reaching, and crawling. Fine motor skills are improved as children grasp the bubble wand, while hand-eye and foot-eye coordination are developed through popping bubbles.
