Ipdip Theatre Theatre for very young children and their accompanying adults.

Head in the Clouds

..a tale of woolly dreamers.

The sheep look down, the sheep look round. One sheep looks up and sees the clouds…

A delightful, interactive play for babies, toddlers and adults.

We had a great time in Giffnock and Baa-head in early February. Cirrus made a lot of new friends at both Eastwood Park Theatre and The Auchenback Resource Centre where we were all made very welcome.

Cirrus the dog looks up to the sheep

Sheep mustn’t look up. They should keep their feet on the ground and listen to the sound advice of Cirrus the serious sheepdog. When a sheep looks up she sees the clouds floating like a flock of friends in the sky and so gently she drifts up to join them. Before you know it all the sheep are floating up above and poor Cirrus is left below trying to bring these woolly-headed dreamers back to earth.

This is a performance that surrounds with sound, touch and visual treats. Guided by the performers, all audience members are invited to help create the atmosphere and landscape of the story.

A mini version of the play was performed as part of the Imaginate Festival Fringe on 14th May 2011. People of a range of ages came to see, here’s some of what they had to say about it:

  • “liked the interactive nature”
  • “great story/poem”
  • “our two children were captivated! Lovely interactive piece, very gentle”
  • “A beautiful, whimsical story. A lovely, tactile show for little folk”
  • “That was fun”
  • “I like it beciuse the seep fly up in the air”
