Stories of a Watersprite

Sophie Nüzel
2 performances between Sun 29 Sep 2024

Amongst drifting waterweed and ancient moss-covered rocks, a Watersprite awakens.

Down here the pond is teeming with life – newts and snails and little silver fish dart around, busy with their business. But strange things are starting to enter the pond. Things that crinkle and clatter and clutter up the pond. So much of it that there is no more space to swim and slither around.

Sophie Nüzel’s work for children and families is a gentle and multi-sensory dance and puppetry production. It invites young audiences to use their imagination and believe that regardless of how little they are they can still make a difference.

'Stories of a Little Watersprite is a high quality show which will appeal to all ages. With its themes of pollution and community action, Sophie has skillfully created an underwater world which is big on heart and imagination. With its thoughtful design and evocative music, this is highly recommended for your family programme.' Jeanette Hinton, Performance Producer Pavilion Dance SouthWest

 

Supported by Landeshauptstadt Munich, Brighton Dome and Arts Council England.
