About this Event

NEA MEMBER SPECIAL! ORDINARY, YOUTH, & ASSOCIATE MEMBERS CAN BOOK SEATS FOR £2.50

Join up here Become a member - NEA

A joyful magical dance adventure for children aged 3+ and their grown-ups.

What do you become when you don’t quite fit in?

In a world full of colours, textures, and surprises, Shape Shifters invites young audiences on
a joyful journey of play, transformation, and finding your own sparkle.

We meet two inseparable friends — synchronised, confident, and always in step. But when
a bright, curious Newcomer arrives, everything changes…

Through dance, illusion, and a touch of comedy, Shape Shifters celebrates identity,
difference, and the friendships we build when we find the courage to be ourselves.
Join us for a work-in-progress performance and be part of the creative journey!
