About Us
We are a theatre in education company creating; theatre, educational programs for schools, learning materials, books and community spirit! Through these means we inspire children to recycle and teach them how they, their community and the world can look after the eco system we all live in
A bit more about us...
We give recycling a personality and a story. We believe it is important to talk about environmental issues at a young age, and we have found through our work that important messages like these are listened to well when introduced with fun and a good dose of imagination!
Our main attraction as a company is our theatre work; we create shows from the perspective of animals effected by pollution such as fish or in our case a Mermaid! All of our shows are accessible, this means two things: our shows can be taken in to non theatre spaces - Churches, Hospitals, Libraries, Schools, Community Centres ETC. We also mean by this that our shows can be easily accessed by people of learning or physical disabilities. Our shows are created to be wheel chair friendly and though we do not offer sign language or full visual description we try to be especially visually stimulating and descriptive in every way we can!
We also offer a weeks worth of learning materials from ages 4 to 11 for schools and other educational institutions. This includes teaching materials and plans, work books, a visit from Maya the Mermaid and a full show, games, media, planned activities and key information on a wide range of environmental topics.
During our Maya the Mermaid shows we try to have as much audience interaction as we can possibly pack in! We like to get our audiences thinking about how they can help and become little Maya Recycling Warriors them selves! We try to bring this style of teaching as much as we can in the classroom too in our teaching program, with our running character theme of Maya and activities that keep imagination levels high and thinking caps on!
Our shows last roughly 45 minutes
