A new multi-sensory show for under-5s will help families get into the festive spirit this December.
Oily Cart’s All Wrapped Up, an inclusive show where all is not as it seems, is coming to artsdepot in North Finchley from Tuesday, December 10, to Tuesday, December 31. Wrapping paper transforms into mischievous creatures and hidden worlds – all brought to life through the magic of light, shadow and the audience’s imaginations.
All Wrapped Up is a highly sensory, immersive show specifically created for the very little to experience the joys of live theatre. The show fuses sensory sounds, shadows and wrapping paper to create the perfect theatrical treat.
This magically inventive show will end with audiences of all ages unwrapping their own papery worlds of wonder, exploring what beautiful shapes and shadows they can create from playing with light and dark.
All Wrapped Up marks Oily Cart’s first fully inclusive show, welcoming young children and their families into an accessible environment designed specifically for under-5s including those with a range of additional support needs.
Oily Cart’s Artistic Director Ellie Griffiths said: “I am excited to open this brand new show for Oily Cart, where each audience member can fully immerse themselves within the papery dreamlike world we are creating. I want this show to feel like the audience are on the journey with us, helping us to create the patterns, shadows, creatures and worlds so the experience comes from their imaginations as much as ours.”
