Nature offers so many delicate things to observe, collect, and play with. Leaves, seed pods, sticks.
What did you collect as a child? If you have a little one, what do they collect?
Little Landscapes is a sensory and intimate solo theatre performance for children aged 5-7 and their grown-ups. It’s a gently interactive show with nature at the heart of it. Through object puppetry, poetry, amplified sound, and songs Amy shares memories of a childhood spent outdoors.
Everyone wears headphones to experience the show, with tiny mics picking up and amplifying the small sounds turning them into something other worldly.
The work is informed by Schema Learning theory, with a particular focus on the positioning and orientation schemas. These concepts are naturally present in child’s play. Schema play is seamlessly embedded into the performance to engage the children intuitively.
Little Landscapes has a runtime of 25 minutes. It is intended to be a small show and only fits 10 audience members.
At most showings, all adults must be accompanied by a child – check with the booker before attending without children.
