Rattle Box Theatre
presents Sam O’Shanty
“Sam O’ Shanty stowed away on his first ship when he were just a scrap of a lad and he’s got all manner of yarns to share with you, m’hearties. With the help of his two shipmates, Davy … and Jimmy …. you’ll hear tell of beguiling mermaids and dastardly pirates. Of ships crammed full of gold and of monsters that lurk in the deep. And not only that but you’ll find out what life at sea was really like…
Sam O’ Shanty is a fun, fact and folklore filled show with puppetry, storytelling and the singing of shanties to entertain and engage children of all ages in some of our island-nation’s maritime history and myths.”

Circus Skills and Hoop Workshops with Jenna Moran
Roll up, roll up for a dazzling array of circus skills. Circus skills demand a certain level of attention and concentration. Our workshop engages young and old whilst actively encouraging them to have fun. This, in turn, sharpens their focus to participate and encourages them to persevere. By using a variety of equipment such as diabolo, spinning plates, juggling balls, Hula hoops, Poi and devil sticks, this workshop motivates people to not only enhance their physical awareness but to develop their team-building skills and improve their self-esteem.
