Aliens will be crash landing in even more venues across Scotland this October, as we announce new tour dates for Experts in Short Trousers. This immersive theatre piece, presented by SMHAFF associate artist Emma Jayne Park’s Cultured Mongrel Dance Theatre, is for children aged 4+ and their families. Combining live percussion, dancing and play, join us to help a group of unruly aliens find their way home.
The young audience arrive to disaster, the cast, extra costume and set strewn everywhere you can imagine. Having never ventured to Earth before, the cast need to be taught how to move, what to wear and how to build their escape vehicle, using all this information to build impressive routines and tell their own unique story. Designed to be performed in any setting, the show works with and celebrates the skills that young primary school children already have.
There are now opportunities to catch the show in Glasgow and Aberdeen, as well as extra dates in Dumfries & Galloway, in addition to those already announced. Full details and booking information for all dates can be found below.
