PERTH THEATRE’S CHILDREN’S THEATRE COMPANY IN RESIDENCE.
We are delighted to tell you that, from September 2024, Dirliebane Theatre Company is the first ever Children’s Theatre Company in Residence at Perth Theatre. Our Christmas show, The Cinnamon Sisters, at Perth Theatre was their best-selling under 5s Christmas show ever! Lots more planned.
BOUNCE – The Marshmallow Challenge – ON TOUR
We are really excited to be redeveloping BOUNCE into a bilingual production, in BSL and English. BOUNCE will tour schools and venues from February 2025 – including Perth Theatre on 22 March, The Byre Theatre on 11 April and Rothes Halls on 3 May.
CLOWN PLAY is a two day clown workshop in collaboration with Perth Theatre. It’s open to performers as part of their ongoing personal, professional and/or creative development. We explore the clown elements of saying yes, connection, presence, playfulness and improvisation. Our next workshop is 17 and 18 May at Perth Theatre. Please e-mail fiona@dirliebane.org.uk for more information.
LAAAUNCH! – ON TOUR
Starcatchers and Dirliebane Theatre Company present Laaaunch!, an adventure of galactic proportions, perfect for babies up to 12 months who truly understand the challenge, peril and pleasure of lying, rolling, stretching, sitting up and making it to standing. Laaaunch! will be touring Autumn 2025.
BLAST!
We are currently delivering Creative Play sessions for groups in Perth, and in collaboration with the Learning and Engagement team at Perth Theatre. We are delivering five programmes to children, babies and their carers, playing, exploring, and moving with music and sensory objects. E-mail fiona@dirliebane.org.uk for more information.
BOUNCE – Challenge Enthusiasts are five short films currently available free for children in P2-P5 (aged 6-10). These comedy films explore emotional literacy, and resource packs are also available.
SPACE – How to be Ready For Anything are five short films currently available free for children aged P6-P7 (aged 9-12). The two characters – Stella and Dorothy – explore the strategies required to keep well and healthy. These films explore health and wellbeing and resource packs are also available.
SOUND ADVENTURES. These sound adventures were created for children and young people with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities). Each Sound Adventure will take you on a different emotional journey. All you need is a quiet space to listen.
Our other live theatre productions;
BIG (for nursery children transitioning to Primary 1, toured 2016, 2019 and 2021) SPACE (for Primary 7s transitioning to High School, toured 2018, 2019 and 2021). These will tour again in the future.
Why Dirliebane?
Dirliebane Theatre Company creates clown theatre performances for children, young people and their families.
Our shows involve gentle, character clowning that creates naïve, optimistic, fun, light, strong characters that children and young people can engage with. We develop our shows and films with the help of children and young people to access and explore their thoughts and experiences at key stages in their lives.
