Theatre-Rites and 20 Stories High present

BIG UP!

A unique new show for children aged 3 – 6 and everyone that looks after them

Written by Sue Buckmaster, Keith Saha and the company. Directed by Sue Buckmaster and Keith Saha

at Oldham Library from 19-22 February 2019

Theatre-Rites and 20 Stories High reunite following the success of their hip-hop puppetry show for young people The Broke ‘N’ Beat Collective. Big Up! is a show for 3 to 6 year olds to share with everyone that looks after them, combining hip-hop, puppetry and live music. It comes to Oldham Library for four performance from 19 to 22 February, alongside a residency featuring Mash Up! a live gig event for young adults.

No matter whether you are Big or Small, the world is full of rules. Sometimes we make our own rules, sometimes we don’t know the rules and sometimes we want to play by different rules. A Beatboxer, a Singer and a Puppeteer arrive on stage but nothing is ready for them. No set, no instruments, no puppets. No rules. A world full of joy and chaos erupts, where objects come to life and everything is possible.

Big Up! will be accompanied by Residencies at each venue featuring extensive programmes of outreach and activities, both for children and for Young Adult Parents and Young Carers. These will include participatory workshops for children and Mash Up gig events for their young adults, hosted by the Big Up! cast and featuring guest spots from local urban artists and an open-mic live jam.

The cast is: beatboxer Hobbit, puppeteer Iestyn Evans, shadow puppeteer Clarke Joseph-Edwards and singer/rapper Dorcas Sebuyange.
