Description

We’re growing a new world…

Join us in a living, breathing, sensory adventure. The world has decided things need to change. It’s shaken and shuffled, tumbled and turned, and now something magical and mischievous has started to grow…

Immersed amongst hundreds of real plants, watch, hear and feel as music, puppets, sounds, scents and shadows come to life around you. Here we can be still, here we can just be.

Together, we’ll create a new world, led by our senses. This world will be different because you are here.

When the World Turns is an accessible, intimate, interactive show from the pioneers of Sensory Theatre, Oily Cart. You can expect lots of up-close sensory moments, a gentle pace, and plenty of breathings pace for processing. The show has been expertly crafted for disabled children of all ages who experience the most barriers to access (children who are wheelchair users who have historically been labelled as having profound and multiple learning disabilities.) Find out more below.

Who is the target audience of When the World Turns? Can my child see the show?

When the World Turns has been created for and with disabled young people who experience the most barriers to access (who have historically been labelled as having PMLD).

It is a gentle, atmospheric show, with lots of up close sensory interaction. It deliberately leaves space for slower processing times and for ‘being’ rather than doing.

Because of the calm energy and slower pace, we do not recommend When the World Turns for young people who need to move around a lot and/or prefer a more active sensory experience. However, we are very happy to suggest some brilliant theatre for children who do prefer this at the festivals and venues we’re working with.

“Profoundly moving… reveals new possibilities” The Conversation 

A sustainable, sensory collaboration between Oily Cart (UK) and Polyglot Theatre (AUS).

 

There is a maximum of two tickets per customer – 1 for an audience member and 1 for their carer/guardian. Please book them as the paid amount and the free carer place.

What are ‘Pay What You Can’ tickets?

We believe that that arts should be accessible for all. For this reason some of our shows and events this year will be ‘Pay What You Can’, meaning that you decide how much you can or want to pay. This expands access to the arts for those who may not have been able to participate otherwise, or gives others the chance to support those who cannot by paying a bit extra.

You will see multiple prices available for each show or event. You can select whichever price you can afford or would like to pay – thank you.
