Strange Feathers

Ages 18 mths - 8 yrs

Strange Feathers is an aerial dance performance aimed at the youngest audience, 18 months-7 years. It revolves around two little birds trying to fly with the help of their surroundings in nature. With two aerial dancers and a musician on stage “Strange feathers” mixes contemporary dance, aerial dance and live music in a humorous way. After the performance the children will be invited up on stage to meet the performers and explore the space as feathers drop from the sky. As young children are very tactile beings this helps them take in what they just saw and enhances their experience of the performance.
