2025 Luminosity Youth Summit 32 Junkyard Beats Junkyard Beats is an award-winning performance group that fuses drumming, dance, theatre, and comedy with a highenergy, eco-conscious twist. Armed with buckets, broomsticks, cardboard boxes, plastic bags — and their own bodies — these rhythmical misfits transform junk into funk, igniting the stage with explosive creativity and infectious rhythm. What began as a grassroots street show in Sydney has evolved into an internationally acclaimed act. Junkyard Beats has toured across Australia and beyond, with standout performances on the Disney Channel, TEDx, and live national TV alongside Guy Sebastian on Australia Day. They’ve wowed crowds of 10,000 on New Year’s Eve and have become a favourite at major events, festivals, and schools nationwide. Their critically acclaimed theatre shows, including The Box Show and Junklandia, have received top honours — earning the Critics’ Pick Award at the Sydney Fringe Festival and an Award for Best Kids and Family Show at the Adelaide Fringe. In 2024, they completed a hugely successful tour of China and are set to return for another tour in August 2025. This year also marks their debut at the world-renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they’ll bring their unique blend of rhythm, comedy, and sustainability to international audiences. From school incursions to international theatre stages, Junkyard Beats delivers interactive, uplifting experiences that inspire creativity, environmental awareness, and the power of teamwork — all through the universal language of rhythm. Get ready to unleash your inner performer in a high-energy workshop where anything can become an instrument! In this hands-on session with Junkyard Beats, we’ll transform recycled materials like buckets, sticks, boxes, and even plastic bags into powerful tools for rhythm, movement, and fun.
