Shimmer invites its audiences into an immersive reflective space created by Katie Davenport animated by a twinkling original score by David Goodall, gentle choreography by Hayley Earlam that responds to its individual tiny audience members and stunning wraparound video art by Conan McIvor.
Performers: Hayley Earlam, Jess Rowell, Oran Leong.
Directed by Anna Newell.
Shimmer tours to the Network For Extraordinary Audiences venues in Autumn 2025 funded by Arts Council Ireland.
