When Emily pays a visit to Nicefits Shoe Emporium, she soon realises it is no ordinary shop. Hidden inside every box is a shoe with a story to tell, from slippers that speed up time to the cowboy boots of Dustbowl Bill. But the question is, which shoes should Emily choose?
CScape are Cornwall most exciting and innovative dance company, and this autumn, their performers bring a whole host of shoes and their stories to life using physical theatre, dance, storytelling and music. A delightfully visual world is created, engaging children in tales of new shoes, old shoes, shoes with laces and velcro, and even a re-telling of the Emperors new … shoes!
Choreographed by Helen Tiplady, written by Anna Maria Murphy, directed by Simon Harvey (both Kneehigh Theatre), designed by John Keys and with music by Benji Bower, this is a delightfully interactive show for children and adults alike. So join Cscape and jump feet first into a very special kind of shoe shop!
