A-do-le-TA! is a highly imaginative piece showing a day in the life of two friends. Joy and Sky are in a world where everything is possible – a tent can be a crab, an umbrella can be a cloud and the moon can sing! Through play, two friends overcome differences and together imagine, create and expand their reality and yours.
The performance is based on the importance of play, especially free play during early childhood. It explores the fine line between the contemporary life, where electronic play has a huge role, and the natural instinctive play deep-rooted in human nature. Although digital media and technology have benefits, excessive use of electronic media can have a negative impact on wellbeing and mental health.

Enjoy a screening of the show AdoleTA! in your classroom or theatre and continue the fun with our colourful and interactive AdoleTA! Play Packs. Each child will receive their own Play Pack to make their toothbrush fly, see the world in different colours, create shadow dancers, sing like Joy and Sky, but most of all have fun making and moving together.
Remember some activities can also be done at home to continue the fun with family too!

Information for teachers/theatres/festivals:
Within the Play Pack, there is a link to a short video to watch after the show, where artist Selma Daniel demonstrates some of the fun activities for you to do. The activities include cutting out, sticking, movement and slow dance, all encouraging children to use their fine and gross motor skills.
