Circus Skills, Drama and Arts: Creative Thinking, Problem Solving and just for Fun!
In this wonderfully wacky journey into outer space everyone gets to be an alien and the floor is lava! Our silly space explorer 'Corie' uses his outstanding circus skills to solve out of this world problems while convincing his young audience that they are the smartest children in the whole Universe.
From beginning to end the show is one visual experience after another. After greeting his audience Corie shows them him blasting off into outer space on a puppet sized TV screen before he emerges from the (impossibly too small for him to fit into) rocket ship that has been on stage from the time the audience came in.
But, Oh No! Firstly, the air is not breathable. Then, this planet is hot; far too HOT to walk on. But hey, the Aliens are small, cute, very friendly and full of helpful ideas.
With those initial problems sorted it's time to get to work collecting samples from the planet's surface which of course involves an amazing diabolo routine.
The challenges on this planet keep arising as Corie has to walk on it's surface on his hands holding bricks and it certainly is not easy getting reception on his interplanetary phone.
Planet Lava is a totally engaging, wonderfully visual, skill based circus style performance aimed perfectly at the young audience.
