THE BEES’ KNEES UP!
Written & Directed By Kathryn Gardner
Performed by Kathryn Gardner & Meg Cavanaugh
The Bees are having a party! And we're all invited!
But Rat is scared of EVERYTHING, and Fox doesn’t know how to get there!
They really need your help!!
This is a fun, informal, interactive, on-your-feet session with lots of singing, dancing, games, animal noises, and more - A great chance to get involved as Fox and Rat all make their way to the best party EVER!
And now we have a CHRISTMAS BEES KNEES UP! More of the same fun, but with added snow and reindeer!!
Lots of elements that crawlers and babes in arms will enjoy, plus lots of on-you-feet involvement for older children too.
And space to sit well back if you prefer!
Created for Kids At The Cockpit.
The Bees’ Knees up was created after seeing countless childrens shows where children were reluctantly pulled back to their seat. There is a place for that, obviously, but we wanted to create something which had the kids up on their feet throughout, contributing and driving the story.
Parachutes, bubble machines, well known songs, and lots of ‘it’s behind you’ gags, makes for a fun pacy show where the adventure never stops.
The loose nature of the show also means we can be incredibly adaptive to our audience, tailoring it to the needs of the children participating.
Devised and performed by Kat Gardner and Meg Cavanaugh.
A lo-fi version is also performed for groups in community centres and halls. So it really is a very flexible beast!
