MIND-POGGLING
A majestic family show is returning to Stirling.
Formerly The Pine Tree, Poggle and Me, Macrobert welcomes back the renamed, Poggle, this month.
A funny, intimate and delightful dance theatre show, it is suitable for children aged six months to four.
Poggle is the story of Vince who wants to explore the forest, but is too scared to go on his own. This all changes when he meets Poggle, a friendly creature, who takes him on an adventure where he discovers the forest and the magical musical tree.
With live music, clapping rhythms and bubble popping throughout, children will enjoy a sense of discovery in this highly visual show as they interact with the characters and explore the set after the performance.
Poggle is inspired by Barrowland Ballet artistic director Natasha Gilmore’s personal experiences with her own children in terms of what they find funny and how they behave and move.
Natasha said: “Poggle was inspired by my young children as I watched the way they explored and played in the world around them.
“The joy of discovery and accomplishment when new skills are found and obstacles overcome and the wonderment children find in the simplest things, like mud.”
Featuring rhythmical text, this interactive performance envelopes children in an imaginatively changing world.
They can enjoy the visual, physical and musical energy of the show, identify with the emotions of the characters and even explore the set at the end.
Poggle takes place at 11am and 2pm on Sunday May 15 at the Macrobert.
