Land of The Lost wants young audiences to experience a deeply interesting and attractive landscape, made for them and with them. This work involves: co-creation of stories, improvising with very young children, drawing children into theatrical ritual and heightened experience, design and landscape, atmosphere and sensory communication.
Join this wonderful exploration of form, story, meaning and intention – especially if participation is part of the work. Very young audiences are deserving of the highest quality works that can meet their curious minds.
Land of The Lost wants the little ones to feel that they are part of the stories and that they are bringing the Land of the Lost to life.
