The Shell Whisperer
What to expect
The Shell Whisperer is a gorgeous new performance for children aged 4+ about the ocean, the promises we can make to keep it clean and our relationship with the Sea Goddess as she asks us for help.
Child participation and child-led storytelling are central to Cliodhna Noonan's work as an early years performer. Children are invited to create sea creatures on the fabrics that make the set, then listen to the story, then play with some light and shadow puppets of the ocean themselves. Science and creativity combine in this 45 min experience for all children aged 4+.
