Abstract

In 2009, the world premiere of children's play Spirits in Bare Feet was produced and presented at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. This play and its live production were the culmination of consultation with custodians of an Australian Aboriginal Stone Arrangement Site of Significance—Gummingurru. An audience reception study of children's responses to the production was conducted applying methods of observation, group discussion, movement and aural exercise, and drawing. Children aged seven to twelve years old recalled the storyline, characters, and moral of the play. Humor, moments of retribution or resolution, and the Australian Indigenous content were of primary interest.
