Where the Wind Blows
Directed by Bettina Strickler
Two friends move through a mysterious and ever changing landscape. Sometimes fast and furious, occasionally dreamy and tender, the pair battle with themselves, each other and the world around them - but ultimately understanding and friendship prevail.
“it’s delightful, engaging and fun”
Created for disabled and non-disabled children aged 4-8 and suitable for family audiences.
This piece toured schools in the UK Autumn 09 - Spring 2010.
“It is rare to find your combination of professional artistry and thoughtful, process-based workshop leading and communication with our young people. It seems everyone left the room feeling ‘I can do…’ “
