Junction Goole – My Shadow and Me

September 16, 2017

Junction, Paradise Place, Goole, DN14 5DL. 2pm.

My Shadow and Me – A fun and engaging show for children and family audiences made entirely out of shadows.

Specially commissioned by Junction, Finger and Thumb present the final instalment of their shadow explorations to premiere in Goole. Join Drew Colby, a man who can create almost anything with his hand shadows, for a journey through exotic shadow lands with two amazing shadow hands. With shadow crabs that creep from the sea, a hula-hooping shadow monkey and a shadow man riding across the desert on a troublesome camel, you’ll be amazed by these enchanting shadow creations.

The new show, My Shadow and Me, focuses on the idea of our shadows and our relationship with them, inspired by the poem “My Shadow” by Robert Louis Stevenson. One man and his shadow meet and set off on an incredible, imaginative, shadowy journey where creatures emerge, engage and transform across a world of shadow lands.

Suitable for children aged 4+ and their families, this is a gentle introduction to theatre for little ones. After the show, join Drew for a chance to learn how to make some of the characters from the show.

To celebrate Junction’s final commission, Finger and Thumb also present a special drop-in Shadow Sharing workshop from 11am to 1pm on Saturday 16 September for a celebration of shadows! Create your own shadow puppets, cut out your silhouette, play with different shadow-making objects and tell your own shadowy story. Open to everyone.

Tickets priced £6.50 (adult) £5 (child) are available to purchase from the Box Office on 01405 763652 or via www.junctiongoole.co.uk. Watch the My Shadow and Me trailer: www.vimeo.com/224125270
