Clumps and Crumbs
From their tower, two cloud collectors share some of the stories they’ve seen stretched across the Scottish sky. Clumps & Crumbs is a sensory storytelling performance for children aged 2-5 and their adults. This performance immerses you in the world’s oldest storybook: the sky! A story that’s never-ending and ever-evolving. Through play, movement and oral storytelling, we celebrate the timeless tales we see in the shapeshifting, forever-drifting clouds, we get carried away on a windy day whim, and we find ourselves captivated by even the dampest and dreariest of grey Glasgow skies.

Clumps & Crumbs is made for ambitious world builders, professional play makers, nosy noticers, curious questioners, slightly chaotic crafters, wonder-seeking wanderers and daydreamers who can’t help but look out the window and float away. This performance is made for 2-5's with younger and older siblings welcome!
The performance is 1-hour long, with pockets of play throughout. This is a relaxed performance. During the performance, the young audience are welcome to move, change spots, and make noises, and, at various points, the audience (adults included!) are invited to play and interact with the performers, the objects on stage, the set and each other!
