About the show
Glitch the little robot doesn’t feel special like all the other amazing robots living in the Junk Yard. With the help of their best friend, Shift, they go on a quest to find the pieces to make them stand out! Full of fun, adventure and self discovery. Will Glitch find what they were searching for all along?
Using projection, dance and storytelling, children interact with the performers throughout the show and take part in an engaging workshop exploring resilience, friendship and wellbeing.
Accessibility
Coming to see our show? Amazing! We can’t wait to see you there. We have some tools here that could help you feel more comfortable before you attend the performance. Check out these really helpful accessibility resources:
Social Story – this tool is to help improve a child’s or adult’s understanding of expectations during a new or unfamiliar event. This can be a useful tool for anyone who is unsure about what to expect from a new experience.
Sonic Story – this tool highlights the key sounds to expect during the timeline of the performance. The PDF is available to all audience members but we hope that it will be useful for anyone who might benefit from an increased awareness of the sensory sound elements of the show.
Ear Defenders – Want some ear defenders to wear during the show? Just ask us upon arrival!
