DREAMWHEEZERS
An interactive family show. Everyone likes a good story. Now imagine that story is being told with live musical accompaniment, and amazing sound effects – all being concocted by a unique machine powered only by wind. Wheeze is an interactive organ made from found materials. It is entirely self-powered by old vacuum cleaners, bellows, balloons, accordions. The sound emanates from flutes, duck calls, whistles, melodicas, cuckoo clocks and whatever else may yet be found. During our storytelling show, The Conductor and her Engineer present a range of stories, all family friendly, and all related to wind and breath. Afterwards, come and play on the fantastic Wheeze machine for yourself. DATE: Saturday 22nd September VENUE: Outside Village Hall TIMES: There will be 3 performances during the day, at 1.00, 2.00 and 3.00 TICKETS: Available on the day |
