Dive into the Fun with “SPLASH!” – A Captivating Children’s Dance Theatre Performance
We are thrilled to present “SPLASH!”, an exciting children’s dance -theatre production that promises to be a magical experience for young audiences and their families. The show revolves around the theme of water cycles, taking audience members on a journey from spring to river to ocean. This is a delightfully whimsical introduction to dance-theatre with lots of immersive moments when young audience members are invited to join in with the dance and music.
“SPLASH!” merges music, visual light and colour immersion, and dance. Directed by the talented duo Adesola Akinleye & Helen Kindred, this original dance-theatre work features a cast of three dancers and musicians.
“We are incredibly proud of “SPLASH!”. It is the fifth dance theatre work that has been made specifically for children and their families, coming from our commitment to bring high-quality dance experiences to young audiences,” said Helen “This production is a vibrant and engaging dance-story that encourages children to think about and celebrate clean water and nature’s water cycles. The work was made after collaboration with Global Water Dance’s new children’s curriculum.”
“Our work is sometimes the first time a young audience member has seen a live dance in a theatre. We cherish the privilege of introducing dance to families, we have seen how this fosters a lifelong love and sense of belonging in the arts for children and the adults they become” said Adesola.
