Kaleidoscope
In collaboration with Dansens hus, we invite you to Shi Pratt’s new show for the very young: Kaleidoscope.
The audience is invited to enter a vivid landscape of texture, light, color and sound, and join the performers for a multi-sensorial experience. In a synesthetic environment in which the senses merge, and with the theme of togetherness, we will take an imaginative trip through colors, movement, sounds, our sense of touch and different landscapes, accompanied by live music and vocals.
We welcome the audience to participate in the joy of music and dance. The piece will provide a multitude of sensory experiences as we integrate song and a range of dynamic moves in a supportive and inclusive community setting.
The performance is neurodiversity -informed, complex needs friendly and accessible to all. By creating a shared experience for the different communities, we provide a stage that can be transformative, fun and a new meeting point for friendships to be made.
In a space where neurodiversity is considered; a sensory friendly, judgment free space, the lights will be dimmed but will remain on throughout the performance and with sensory friendly sound, the audience will have freedom to talk and walk about with no restrictions around noise or movement. The audience can feel and discover the environment freely, or find a comfy place to sit.
