One bench, two people, and five days.

 Rhythm is spontaneous and experiences life as movement; and all sound as music.

Glas loves life smooth and stable; preferring things remain the same.

When Rhythm and Glas meet at Bellevue park they have the five days of half-term to see if their friendship is worth keeping, before they go back to their separate schools.

Will they find a way to create something remarkable and discover a rhythm that is theirs alone?

Through music, movement, and mishap, these two young people experience the difficulty and joy in connecting with those unlike themselves.

 Remarkable Rhythm is a dance theatre show for young people 7+ and their families created by Krystal S. Lowe in association with Theatr Iolo.

With integrated audio description by the two dancers, this show is accessible to audiences who are blind or partially sighted and the physical storyline is visually clear so allows Deaf audiences the ability to also experience every show fully.

 Audio Described performances are designed for children (or their adults) who are blind or partially sighted. Audience members using this service listen to live verbal commentary describing what is happening on stage. They can also hear descriptions of the set, costumes, facial expressions, and body language. 

For Remarkable Rhythm, our Audio Description is a central part of the show with the performers speaking the Audio Description live while they dance.

 A touch tour gives blind or partially sighted audience members a chance to familiarise themselves with the set, props and costumes before the show begins.

For Remarkable Rhythm, our Touch Tour is a central part of the show with all audiences being welcomed into the stage space as they enter each performance to explore the set, props and costumes before each show begins.
