Making Waves is an immersive multi-sensory dance theatre performance, designed specifically for children aged 8 to 13 years with mild to more complex needs. In this magical sea voyage the audience and performers set sail in search of hidden treasure and along the way encounter rolling waves, sparkling fish and swooping gulls. In this inclusive and interactive family performance, audience members are seated in pods representing boats on stage, which enables everyone to become part of the adventure. Each pod fits up to six family members and the specially designed boats are suitable for wheelchair users.

Funded by The Arts Council with support by Draíocht, Blanchardstown, Axis Ballymun, Riverbank Arts Centre & Mermaid Arts Centre, with additional support from Kildare County Council Arts Service. Jess Rowell is supported by Branar Meitheal 2022-2023.
