Dr Decibel

Dr Decibel’s first day as a professional audiologist gives way to crazy hula hooping, sign language in time to Madonna and more…

This hilarious roving character will endear herself to families – Deaf, daft and hearing.

 

 

Show Options

Dr Decibel is available for one, two or three shows per day; maximum one show per hour.

The Full Show

Dr Decibel conducts comic hearing tests on audience participants using bizarre apparatus such as her hula hoops and Deaf Detector. The audience learns some basic signs, and are amused when Dr Decibel’s professional exterior drops away with a spontaneous hula hoop signing routine in time to Madonna.

This show requires the p.a. system to play the appropriate Madonna song on cue.

Duration: 20 mins.

Roving Hearing Tests

Dr Decibel roams amongst the crowds, entertaining families and individuals with her hearing tests and signed communicaion. Children receive gold star stickers and balloons for braving the doctor.

Duration: 20 mins.

Two shows available per hour.

Roving Hula Hoops

Dr Decibel sheds her lab coat and hits the crowds in her funky purple dress and spinning gold hula hoops. Audience members are invited to try out the hoops themselves while Dr Decibel demonstrates her favourite skill with finesse.

Duration: two sessions of 10 mins each.

Change Room Requirements

  • A clear space of at least 3 x 3 metres is needed to warm up. This must be unobstructed by tables, chairs and other furniture, and must not be a walk-way through which others will pass during the warm up period.

  • The warm up space must be out of public view and reasonably private as only skimpy clothing can be worn while warming up hula hoops!

  • The changing room (which may be separate from the warm up space) also needs to be out of sight from the audience. A toilet room which is shared by audience members is not suitable.

  • The changing room and warm up space must be within 40 metres of the performance space and must be sufficiently secure to safely leave clothing, bags and make-up there during the performances.

  • Access to toilet and sink facilities with a mirror is needed. These need to be accessible from the changing room without walking through the audience.

  • The change room etc must be accessible one hour before the first show.

  • A change room shared with other performers is fine, but please consider whether there will be enough space to warm up the hula hoops without inconveniencing the other performers.
