Me and My Shadow, My Shadow and I: an innovative show specially designed for kids.

Highly visual, interactive and revolutionary early years’ theatre performance My Little Shadow has been written and produced specifically with young audiences in mind.

Taking place at Paisley Arts Centre in late April, My Little Shadow magically blends dance with live music, song, film and clever puppetry to tell the story of a young girl and her mischievous shadow.

From front row seats, children will join the rogue Shadow as she sneaks out at night for an out of this world adventure. Zoom off on the rocket with her as she flies into space and back – but not before encountering a friendly little alien!

As My Little Shadow is focused on interacting with young theatre-goers, the story is broken up with opportunities for the audience to participate; including helping to launch the rocket with a rousing blast-off countdown and ‘pass the move’, where children mimic the dancers’ movements on stage.

The production has been created and produced by Renfrewshire Arts & Museums’ Outreach Team in partnership with local dance organisation, Right2Dance. Written and directed by Vanessa Rigg, she will also provide the narration and live soundtrack for My Little Shadow. The lead characters, the young girl and her shadow are brought to life by Right2Dance performers Joanne Garbutt and Eilidh McCormick with choreography courtesy of Right2Dance tutor Aileen Palombo.

Young families can join in the My Little Shadow fun at Paisley Arts Centre on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 April. There will be two performances each day at 10.30am & 1.30pm. Tickets cost £4 per adult (an adult ticket includes 1 free child’s ticket) and additional children’s tickets cost £2. Tickets can be booked by calling our Box Office on 0300 300 1210.
