SHINY (Dance Umbrella tour – Albany)

Dance Umbrella / The Albany / 21 to 22 October 2014
Designer: NETTIE SCRIVEN

Participatory dance production for children aged 4 and under, and their carers. Premiered in 2013, the show takes its participants to “a long forgotten room, where two people find friendship, joy and treasures that turn from ordinary to extraordinary”

“A magical experience” Mum to Euan (aged 5)

“A fabulous start to our day. All the children were mesmerised and the opportunities for them to join in were fantastic and skillfully done” Mum to Edie (aged 2)

“It was really fantastic, my son usually just watches but he really enjoyed the actions and being with the other children, it was lovely to see”

“The passion of the dancers was brilliant! Aaron loved moving about freely.”

“The show really touched parents, they said it was really beautiful, families have been really enthused to carry on playing like this at home”
