Sing Me to the Sea is a blissful immersive adventure for children or young people with complex needs. It is performed in hydropools with three audience members per show, each with an adult companion – with everyone in the water!
Three performers take the audience on a magical journey of exquisite harmony singing and gentle water play designed especially for children with complex needs, embracing and celebrating the sensory dialogue that they have with the world around them.
