Touring

We have undertaken one tour up to now.  The Thunder Stone was an interactive piece that was designed to be flexible and accommodate audiences that included students with severe learning difficulties, complex needs and those on the autistic spectrum.  Plans are in place to tour again in 2008.

2003 The Thunder Stone

“The Thunder Stone is Fabulous, Brilliant, Inclusive, Vibrant, Colourful and Fun.”                 
Susan Pesic-Smith.  Emily Fortey School.  Leicester.

The Thunder Stone  is a devised story drawing on the European fairy tale tradition and Australian aboriginal mythology.  It toured to 24 schools in the East and West Midlands.

 

Synopsis

Once upon a time the world was created by Mudunkala – mountains, rivers, birds, people and finally the Thunder Stone.  The Thunder Stone made the rain come so people had water to drink.

A snake steals the Thunder Stone and hid it in a cave at the top of a mountain.  As a result the rain stopped.  The people had no water.
A young boy called Ragan sets off to find water so that his mother, who is ill, can have water to drink.
On his journey he meets a wise woman who can see the future, a pelican called Tractor who becomes his friend and a woman who threatens their safety.
He eventually crosses a ravine and reaches the cave at the top of the mountain.  Here he outwits the snake and recovers the Thunder Stone.  He returns across the ocean to his mother.

2008    We have plans for an interactive tour in 2008
