Hi-5
Auditions for Children’s Show
Hi-5 is for today’s media-literate children between 2 to 5 years old. It’s a vibrant mix of stories, investigation, imagination and adventure, inviting children to actively share the excitement of exploring the world through movement, lots of catchy music and laughter.
In this positive and friendly environment, learning is playful, fun and always inclusive.
Hi-5 encourages children to develop their own potential and take a joyous and active part in life.
In every episode, the theme is explored through a range of segments, with each segment focusing on a particular area of learning: verbal, musical, visual, mathematical, physical and social. This structure is part of what makes Hi-5 innovative and unique: the range of segments acknowledges the fact that children are different, with different styles of learning. They can respond to the programme and explore ideas through whichever ‘mode’ suits them best.
The creative team are: Jared Lim (Company Chairman), Julie Greene (Executive Producer) with the Musical Supervisor TBA.
About the Cast:
The five Hi-5 cast members are like the older brothers and sisters to the children at home. Vibrant, highly talented young singers and dancers, whose warmth and energy enables them to engage their audience as they showcase the material and themes relevant to young children and families of today. Learning becomes a delight, as children are genuinely encouraged to participate in the show’s interactive segments.
