Type: Theatre
A colourful, immersive and interactive adventure for young audiences aged 4-7 and their families.
Playfully merging dance and British Sign language in a sensory world, A Home for Hamish follows the story of May and their imaginary friend, Hamish the Haggis as they travel across Scotland to find a perfect night’s sleep.
The two friends must support and rely on each other to find a home, but it isn’t really about finding a home; it is about the journey. When we work together, we can escape dragons, dance with jellyfish & even climb the tallest mountains.
Created by Deaf Dance Artist, Clare Adam, and Autistic Dance Artist, Lesley Howard, A Home For Hamish is a space where young people can see themselves, their languages and their sensory needs represented and respected.
