Nearby Beginning with Blobs

Beginning with Blobs recreates Darwin's theory of evolution in 3D through clay, dance and music for the under eights. The animated musical show by Kazzum theatre company takes place at various venues across London this autumn. In the hands of the three performers bits of clay blobs emerge from a deep dark sea to become three imaginary beings. The performers give the 'Blobs' a personality of their own through movement, voice, harmony and rhythms with music by Kerry Andrews. A highly visual show, Beginning with Blobs is inspired by Darwin's theory and follows the creatures' as they grow and adapt to their surroundings. Over time, the tiny blobs become diverse and complex creatures taking on their own unique personalities and very different outlooks on the world. Putting the entertainment in education, this show gives science an interesting spin for young audiences.Ages: 4-8 years
