Little Murmur | Aakash Odedra Company

A stunning visual treat for everyone aged 7+

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 wasn’t until he “found the missing ‘A’” 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 Aakash’s 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. Watch bodies and words fly like flocks of birds, a murmuration, a little murmur.

There will be a FREE workshop to anyone attending this performance. This 40-minute workshop based on Little Murmur encourages children to find their individual styles of movement. Please make sure you add your ticket to secure your place.

Presented by Aakash Odedra Company, Lewis Major Projects and The Spark Arts for Children
