Deluge

 

Date
Wednesday 12 April 2023

In the wake of a relationship, a woman circles the drain, sifting through other people’s stories in an attempt to contain the overflow of her thoughts. But something's blocked, and to make matters worse there are leaks to fix in her house. It was meant to be a quick job, but the holes just keep getting bigger.

The water is rising.

Deluge is a captivating and humorous piece of magical realism about loss, blending true stories with fiction, movement with text, and comedy with music.

This is a work-in-progress sharing of an exciting new dance theatre piece lasting approximately 25 minutes, which will be followed by a Q&A with the artist.

This project is supported by Arts Council England.

Science Adventures: Deep Sea

Date
Sunday 23 April 2023

We will be heading to the bottom of the sea with Coppice Theatre for an exciting aquatic adventure!

Join Professor Flotsam and Dr Wright in their brand new submarine as they look for the strangest creatures in the deep, learn about looking after the oceans and read some of their favourite sea stories! This fantastical show explores the importance of protecting our coast and oceans through puppetry, animation and storytelling whilst fostering a love of science and literature.

The team that brought you Science Adventures (2018) and Science Adventures: The Power Pickle (2021) bring you a brand new show with exciting new characters and three new stories aimed at primary school-aged children. Coppice Theatre are a Cornish-based company that specialises in creating engaging, entertaining and educational productions for young people.

This show was created thanks to kind support from Arts Council England and Feast Cornwall.

Please note that owing to the nationwide emergency notification test on Sunday 23rd, the afternoon performance will now begin at 1.45pm. All current bookers are being notified.
