Talking Dogs, online, Fri 2 July 2021 (not a review)

By Joel Salom

One show only online via Zoom on Friday 2 July 2021 

Part of  Roola Boola Children's Festival (Stonnington, Chapel off Chapel, Prahran)

See programme for Festival: https://chapeloffchapel.com.au/whats-on/

NB: The producers of this show didn’t want a review, so I’m just making some general comments. (Pity, 'cos it's good. Oops! that's a review/value comment!) KH

 

Talking Dogs by Joel Salom is an online children’s show via Zoom for children 4+.

 

It features Salom juggling in his living room in Brunswick Heads. Joel is able assisted by his daughter, Harper, and son, Miro. There are stories with a talking puppet dog and stunts by a chatty, robot dog. 

 

The children participate in stories by waving their hands and offering suggestions. They dance wildly to the music, draw pictures of a Narwhal to show on screen and answer trick questions about dog breeds.

 

Unfortunately, the show was a one-off for the Roola Boola Children’s Festival at Stonnington. It deserves an online season, particularly as lots of kids are in Lockdown in Australian cities at present.
