Sing Me To The Sea - the 'at home' version
Sing Me to the Sea is a magical watery adventure for children with Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties & their families.

Originally this magical watery adventure was due to tour to hydropools in July & September.  Because of the current situation, it is now touring in a brand new ‘dry-land’ this August in collaboration with the Mermaid, The Civic and Riverbank Arts Centre.  Taking the responsiveness of the show to a whole new level, this re-imagined 'dry land' version will be performed in the gardens/drives/outside the windows of homes of families of children with PMLD (Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties - Age suitability guidance 0 -12 Years).  

Still full of ethereal live harmony singing and gorgeous costumes (created by award-winning composer David Goodall and renowned costume designer Susan Scott), reflective silver balls, rainbow fish and water moving through colanders like waterfalls will all happen at an appropriate distance from our audience members, with their accompanying adults mirroring the action to add the up-close sensory element.

The Civic Dates 11 - 14 August
A virtual pre-visit will take place to ensure that each different private 'at-home' adventure is magical, calm and, of course, safe. One that is done we will agree your performance date & time.

There will be a charge of €20 for this performance. (this production is supported and subsidised by the partner venues and their funders).

This is the first time that a tour of this kind is taking place and for logistical reasons, it will only be possible to accommodate a small number of performances within a 25km radius of the venue approx (Early Booking Advised).  
If you are interested in having this performance take place in your garden/driveway, please fill in this short form and Sandra (The Civic's Box Office Manager)  will give you a phone call to discuss your request to book Sing Me To The Sea further.
