Belongings
We’re all trying to work out our story. Who are we? How are we shaped? Sometimes you have to find the courage to be just you – the brilliant you.
Following the acclaimed Butterflies ('a truly transformative experience' - Children’s Theatre Review) Tangled Feet present their new show about how we all need somewhere to belong and someone to belong to.
Cleo is on a journey like no other. She’s trying to discover her past whilst attempting to stay on her feet in the present. Piles of clothes become sea creatures, dresses become parachutes and shadows dance as Cleo and two new friends find a place called home.
Inspired by working with young people in Kent who don’t live with their birth parents, Belongings is the story of finding your feet, finding your playmates & imagining a new future.
Told with Tangled Feet’s unique blend of physicality, innovative design and original music, this is a show for anyone aged 6 up who are looking to find where they fit in.
Tangled Feet are a physical theatre ensemble dedicated to devising original, accessible, and innovative work. Since 2003, they have made transformative theatre in public spaces, found spaces, green spaces and theatre buildings.
Belongings is a Co-Production between Tangled Feet and Rowan Tree Dramatherapy.
