About this Event
FAMILY FRIENDLY SHOW
What is this mysterious thing called Bass and why does it make us feel so groovy? To find out we will fill the theatre with Booming bass vibrations, send lentils flying, expose some fake magic and wake up some dancing Oobleck monsters.
We will dip our toes into the mysteries of electromagnetism with some backwards engineering; what happens when you hack a hard drive motor and wire it up the wrong way? Some seriously deep bass is what happens!
This is not just a science show though, you lucky people can enjoy musical performances on the Motor Violin, egg slicer, rubber band and backwards CD Rom (or you can just cover your ears for that bit). If you like to take part then there’s opportunities to volunteer; come on to the stage to help with demonstrations like the infamous Noisy Toys Nose Test. Towards the end, everyone can try the 'Bass Buzz' when you will feel 1000 watts of bass power through your fingers (it’s a bit like pins and needles).
Caution: this show contains Deviant Audio! Expect some powerful low frequencies and other unexpected sounds, all at safe levels but don’t get too close if you are audio-sensitive.
Tickets for under 18s are FREE. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult ticketholder.
