Feb Fest: Little Murmur

Little Murmur is a new dance theatre show for everyone age 7+, families and schools, that features groundbreaking projection, an extraordinary soundscape and a blizzard of paper and confetti.

Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Aakash felt different to those around him. Defined by his learning disability, not his abilities, dance became his mode of expression.

Combining visual design and technology with dance and humour, Little Murmur explores the warped and exaggerated realities of living in a world that doesn’t reflect how you feel inside. Little Murmur is a stunning visual treat for young audiences and their families. Based on Aakash Odedra’s hugely moving show Murmur, as well as his own true story, this is an honest and heart felt conversation about the trials and tribulations of living with dyslexia and using the power of unique imagination to unlock the world of magic around you.

Watch bodies and words fly like flocks of birds, a murmuration, a little murmur.
