Children's Shows Circus Music ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 24 Oct: Circus Of The Streets, Sound Is Sound Is Sound, The Bear
By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 17 October 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Circus Of The Streets | Clapham Common | 22 Oct-1 Nov (pictured)
Half term? Already feeling like the kids are getting under your feets? Why, take them to ‘Circus Of The Streets’! No, really, though, I didn’t pick this as a way to force a flawed rhyme scheme into today’s tips, I picked it because it looks ace. This exciting show – think all manner of dangerous looking physical streety circus derring do – will be entertainment for the whole family, so think of it as a banging start to the holiday. Which means you can just make the children entertain themselves for the rest of the week. Info and tickets from here.
Sound Is Sound Is Sound | Albany Deptford | 24 Oct
The blurb says this is a celebration of “ the curious mix of forward motion and DIY attitudes that have flourished in the SE postcodes”, and features the likes of experimental trio Albert Newton, musician/performer Aine O’ Dwyer, electric ensemble The Balloons, and grime disseminator DJ BPM. There are also some accompanying events, so see this page here for more info, and possibly further additions to the line up.
The Bear | Polka Theatre | 23 Oct-8 Nov
Ok, so even by tip number three, it’s still half term, so here’s one to entertain your younger children. I bet it will be really lovely, not least because it’s based on ‘Snowman’ creator Raymond Briggs’ ‘The Bear’, but also because it’s from Pins and Needles, who have form for producing great children’s theatre, and promise brilliant music, puppetry and storytelling. Plus, it’s about a lovely big white bear. What four to eight year old wouldn’t like that? Details and tickets here.
