Little Murmur
HALF TERM FAMILY FUNWatch bodies and words fly like flocks of birds, a murmuration, a little murmur...
Little Murmur is a new dance theatre show for everyone age 7+, families and schools, that features groundbreaking projection, an extraordinary soundscape and a blizzard of paper and confetti.
Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Aakash Odedra found school very challenging: he spelt his name wrongly until he was 21 and it wasnât until he âfound the missing âAââ that he felt he belonged. Defined by his learning difficulties, not his abilities, dance became his mode of expression.
Combining visual design and technology with dance and humour, Little Murmur explores the warped and exaggerated realities of living in a world you struggle to process. Based on Aakashâs hugely moving show Murmur 2.0, this stunning visual treat is an honest and heart felt conversation about the trials and tribulations of living with dyslexia, facing challenges and overcoming the odds.Â
