A dance show for audiences of babies aged 3-12 months.
Full of silver, light and wonder, Shimmer is a unique, dream-like dance show for audiences of babies and their adults. Shimmer invites its audiences into an immersive reflective space created by Katie Davenport animated by a twinkling original score by David Goodall, gentle choreography by Hayley Earlam that responds to its individual tiny audience members and stunning wraparound video art by Conan McIvor.
Shimmer tours to the Network For Extraordinary Audiences venues in Autumn 2021.
We’re doing our first week’s development of it at The Civic in Tallaght and are looking for babies (and their adults of course!) to come in and be our creative consultants – to watch where we’re up to so far so that their responses will inform and inspire the direction the show continues to develop in. All artists will be masked throughout and we will require all adult audience members to be masked. We will be working with The Civic’s Covid protocols and all adult audience members will be required to sign The Civic’s Covid declaration. All artists will be taking antigen tests twice a week during rehearsals.
Presented by Anna Newell Theatre Adventures
The sessions will last around 30 minutes.
Wednesday 18 August 11.30am, 2pm

Because of numbers, we are only able to have one adult guest with each baby unless there are specific reasons why an additional adult is necessary – if this is the case, please email Anna HERE to discuss this.
