Dive into the ocean in our Under the Sea adventure! Our facilitators will guide your learners through the wonder of underwater, making friends with a baluga whale, splashing through seaweed, sand and sea urchins, meeting mermaids and jellyfish, all whilst interactively feeling, hearing and seeing the magic of the sea. Our Artsmark-accredited workshops help those who are sensory seekers to explore subjects through performance and interaction. All of our workshops take the format of a very simple narrative exploring the particular theme. We work to a basic framework but are guided by the pupil’s responses, taking time with each individual and making an offer of engagement. If they choose to accept the offer we help them explore that particular sensory element. We provide social visual stories ahead of the workshop to help your learners prepare for our visit. For a fee, we can create a bespoke workshops themed around your learners' particular interests or curriculum.

“They had a brilliant time. Everyone was able to enjoy the performance in an autism friendly environment. It was a very sensory experience and my class loved every minute of it. There were no demands put on them and they were able to join in as much or little as they wanted, while remaining so engaged with the show. Comments from staff to me included, 'brilliant' 'amazing' 'they just got our children' 'wish they would come in every week!”
“The students really responded so positively and engaged with the sequence, props and overall sensory experience. The pace and interactive nature of the session meant that it could be personalised towards each pupil”
“The children had a fantastic time. They engaged with all the resources and the facilitators who delivered it were amazing with the children... The children engaged with all the resources and it was amazing to see them try new items”
