In partnership with the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival, we present Brain on, Game on and Roarie Bumlers.
Brain On, Game On: The cognitive circuit of an Autistic brain: Spinning, Whirling, Turning. The brain is connected with lots of colourful tangents. Sometimes they mix and create fabulous new colours, other times the colour disappears. Can we work together to get the brain back on track…
Roarie Bumlers: An exploratory journey into how to turn the volume up on the earth. A polyphonic spree with three bodies buried in the ground who, like seed to tree, form into creatures who wish to tell tales of a lost connection to the earth.
Unicorn Dance Party: Sparkling unicorns Melody and Luna are looking for new pals, and they’ve heard there are some unicorns in your area! They’re throwing the best dance party ever, with easy-to-follow dance moves and the ultimate playlist of everyone’s favourite tunes, from Katy Perry and Fred Astaire, to Basement Jaxx and Queen. Join them to shake your tails and move and groove to some rockin’ jams! With glittering costumes and visual pizazz, this interactive outdoor show will unlock the joy within us all.
