Tongue Twister is one man’s attempt to say tongue twisters in as many different languages as possible. Whilst also trying to dance. And make music. And do all the costume changes without leaving the stage. A delight for the eyes and ears, this humorous and colourful show is a celebration of the musical beauty of language for children aged 6-12 yrs.
Created and performed by award-winning performance artist and musician Greg Sinclair and featuring dazzling costumes and innovative visual design. Greg is a performance artist, composer and cellist from Edinburgh. He makes embodied composition performances in a variety of forms: from small, intimate happenings to large-scale stage works. His work is often made in collaboration with other artists, children, young people, community members, or its audience. Greg also composes music and sound design for theatre, dance and live art, and he performs in other companies work. He has recently worked with Catherine Wheels, Shotput, Magnetic North, Curious Seed, Mamoru Iriguchi and Oily Cart.
Recommended for children aged 6-12 and their families
