Tongue Twister is one man’s attempt to say tongue twisters in as many different languages as possible. Whilst also trying to dance. And make music. And do all the costume changes without leaving the stage.
A delight for the eyes and ears, created and performed by award-winning performance artist and musician Greg Sinclair, and featuring dazzling costumes and innovative visual design.
Humorous, colourful, rhythmical and odd, Tongue Twister is a celebration of the musical beauty of language.
Ages: 6 – 12
Duration: 50 min (+ 10 min Q&A – week day-time only)
