“It was magical to see how the pupils engaged with the show. The staff are so highly skilled and adjusted to every students’ needs”- Antonia Peters, Lakeside School.

Moon Song tells the story of Morgan who falls asleep and dreams of going to the moon where they encounter silvery creatures, flying saucers and shooting stars. Welcomed into the performance with relaxing music, audience members are invited to join Morgan on a space-themed adventure.

This enchanting, intimate production is designed to put audience members at ease throughout, giving them space and time to move freely and experience the show in their own way.

About Bamboozle’s shows for autistic audiences:

These performances are intimate shows for a maximum group size of 6 children accompanied by their teachers, carers, or family group.

Keeping audiences small allows our experienced Bamboozle performers to give each child focused, personalised attention. Our team are highly experienced in adapting to, and interacting with, children and young people who have a variety of complex and differing needs. Where there’s a need for 1:1 with the young people, we will advise 4 young people attend.

The audience gathers. The music swells. The mist swirls. Anticipation. Then arriving in the playground the full-grown Firebird. Its five-metre wingspan hovers above the audience, circling, swooping and diving.

Based on the myths and legends of the Phoenix, this spectacular new production promises to bring an unforgettable experience into your school grounds or outdoor space. This production will include Bamboozle puppetry, comic characters and live music – including a chicken jazz band!

About Bamboozle’s shows for learning disabled audiences:

This show has been devised for a wide range of learning-disabled students, including those sometimes described as SLD, MLD and some students on the autistic spectrum. While it is not specifically designed for those described as PMLD there will be Bamboozle’s customary mix of sensory possibilities, this will be more suitable for PMLD students who respond to sound, as there will be a lot of live and recorded music.

The performance takes place outdoors and will go ahead unless the Bamboozle team judge the weather to be so severe that it poses a safety risk. Therefore the school will need to ensure pupils have warm clothing, wet weather gear and umbrellas available to cope with the British summer! If you have a covered outdoor area, then we can also work with you to see how we could stage the performance such that the audience can stand under cover if the rains come.

What you need to know:

Recommended age range: 6 – 14 years

Performances: Firebird is an experience built through three scenes which will happen across a school day in different areas of your school grounds, with each class group experiencing each of the scenes (max 4 x class groups).

Space required: The space required will need to be discussed with each booking but we will require a large space for the third scene (like a school hall or field).

This show is not currently touring.
