shed-ache by aKa Dance Theatre

About aKa Dance Theatre

shed-ache is a seriously silly dance theatre show that transports little people and their grown ups to a world that sits somewhere between reality and make believe.

Two dancers and a shed on wheels get up to all sorts whilst faced with down pores, lava floors and socks falling out of the sky.

shed-ache is about the give and take of friendship, the power of imagination and the importance to embrace experiences whatever the weather.

Be prepared to be blown away by aKa’s brand new family friendly show which is bright and sunny. With 100% chance of laughter.

Commissioned by Arts Council England, South East Dance, Pavilion Dance South West, Taunton Council, Applause, Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre & Make The Sunshine.
