Description Gut Feeling is an immersive, interactive journey through the human digestive system. Participants are assigned different food groups before being "ingested" into a massive, anatomically correct (well, nearly), inflatable, human digestive tract.
The "food" is guided through the digestive process, by the Garrulous Gut Guides. They demonstrate the miraculous process that turns food into energy, from the inside! The 'food' will be required to do some physical theatre, experience a dynamic digestive soundscape and watch real bacteria projected onto the stomach lining. Young artists can then add to the bacteria gallery (with textas).
Of course what goes in must also come out. Each child's exist is marked with carefully crafted sound effects.
Fascinating. Fun. Facts & Farts!
