The Clown Doctors return to Dust Up!

The Clown Doctors return to Dust Up!

Our Western Australian Clown Doctor team was invited to attend their third Desert Dust Up Festival after a COVID pause. An annual event held in the remote Indigenous town of Warakurna in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, the festival brings together seven schools in a celebration of performance, sport, community, and culture. The Clown Doctors bridge the gap between hospitals and remote communities – encouraging confidence, raising awareness about our hospital presence, and bringing fun, laughter and performance opportunities. This year, the Clown Doctors reported the children’s involvement in their performances has grown, and they now participate in storytelling, circus demonstrations, and even singing original songs.
