Award-winning rhythmic rhymer Dommy B (Glastonbury Festival Poet in Residence, BBC ‘Rhyme Rocket’) leads a wild ride of roar-some poems, rap, and dance.

Watch out! Dinosaurs about!  A one man adventure with poetry, rap, dance… and lots of dinosaurs!  

Join Proto, the smallest and quietest dino, as he meets some wildly different prehistoric personalities. Cheeky T-rex is full of energy and never stays still. Gentle Argentinosaurus just wants everyone to get along. Mysterious Spinosaurus might have the power to make wishes come true. 

When a group of three troublesome allosaurus decide to stir things up, is there any way everyone can be friends? 

Full of interactive opportunities, anyone who’d like to join in with the words or movements can! (But no one has to do anything they don’t want to do!)  Children aged 5+ and their grown-ups will adore these roar-some poems, rap and dance. 

 

11.30am performance is a Relaxed Performance.
