Shows> Half Moon present > Baa Moo Yellow Dog
Spaces still available for workshop programme 2009
Touring venues 4 February - 28 March
A play of few words and oodles of imagination for 2 - 5 years
performed in integrated British Sign Language and English.
 |
Where are you when cows bleat like sheep, pigs have wings and a horse lives in an apple tree? In Ash's colourful imaginary world.
Join Ash as he looks in holes, turns corners, and hops, skips and jumps over cracks. A world where things are not what they first seem and where you might even see a yellow dog.
Baa Moo Yellow Dog explores the playful imagination of a small boy as he tries to bring order to the unexpected and where difference can be a good thing.
|
Wrapped up in a continuous contemporary soundscape inspired by baroque music, Baa Moo Yellow Dog presents a fantastical world where the imagination runs riot and there are new friends around every corner.
What people said about the original production:
"This is a charming, simple show, uncluttered by long speeches or big ideas, where creative play become jaunty dance sequences to Rob Lee's evocative, articulate music. Baa Moo makes the little ones laugh at a world full of surprises"
(London's Time Out)
"This carefully choreographed show tells the story of Ash. He has no-one to play with, so pretends himself into a topsy-turvy world in which a huge spotted cow bleats like a sheep and a pink horse lives in an apple tree.. particularly dramatic are the surreal lilac flying pig and the huge yellow and black egg, which eventually opens to yield a cuddly, yellow puppy to be Ash's friend. It is highly effective"
(The Stage)

Uniquely performed in fully integrated British Sign Language and English. Performances last 45 mins (no interval) |
OUTREACH PROGRAMME
|
Once again, we are offering our hugely popular participatory programme for Children's Centres/Surestart, pre-school and Foundation Stage groups in schools and community settings.
The programme includes 4 multi sensory workshops, a performance of the play, staff training and a story book for each child. The sessions will combine drama, live music and story telling.
The programme can be tailored to meet the needs of any group but focuses particularly on speech and language development, family learning & engaging children who find it difficult to express themselves.
