Choose your role and get on board our spaceship to Whoosh! into outer space!
Get ready to WHOOSH our spaceship across the galaxy…until we run out of fuel and have to make an emergency landing on mysterious Planet X!! What strange things will we see, touch, taste and smell on this fantastic planet? And will we ever find a way to WHOOSH ourselves back home?
WHOOSH! is an immersive work that puts children with multiple disabilities and those on the autism spectrum at the centre of action. Kids board a stunning custom-built spaceship for an interstellar adventure. New recruits take-up their own tech stations, taste real space food, propel through hyperdrive, crash-land and explore a strange uncharted planet. Characters and audience work as a team to repair the ship and return to Earth. This highly-tailored production will be suitable for children with a broad range of access needs aged 5years+.
With an impressive set and pioneering use of technology, including a digital app to deliver our preparatory material, this is Sensorium Theatre’s most ambitious production to date. Developed over three years, we’ve refined our delivery model, increasing audience agency and overall capacity while maintaining intimate session sizes.
Recognised in Australia as innovators in accessible children’s theatre, they have recently returned from performing their Helpmann-nominated show Oddysea at the Lincoln Centre Education’s Big Umbrella Festival and at The Artground in Singapore. We are currently seeking international presentation partners for 2021 and beyond.
