Mee

Meet Lucy, what a mess she has to clear up, so many Boxes! But what lies inside? Follow as she rediscovers something, or someone, she thought she lost, but they were just in the Boxes! Play along as Lucy learns what it is to have fun and to find the play in the simplest of things. 

 

WhatNot Theatre’s, BOXES is a Sensory show developed for under threes about what our
imaginations conjure when we look inside a simple cardboard box. Discover the magic when we lift
the lid…encounter hidden things and enchanting characters, brought to life through the senses and
an un-extraordinary cardboard box.

The show playfully explores what happens when you open up a box, and the surprising adventures
to be found inside; creating an immersive environment in which the world of play unfolds through
participation.

This performance is responsive to each audience member, allowing them to become co-composers
in this world of boxes. The performance is designed for small audience groups to accommodate and
engage young people who may experience barriers to accessing theatre.

Building a safe space in which to transport our audiences to a sensory world of their own
imagination; creating a platform for child and parent or guardian to experience play together.
WhatNot’s productions are a collaborative encounter for young audiences to experience theatre,
and the possibilities of creative expression.
