Bamboozle theatre came into show us a performance that is designed to interact with children that have learning difficulties. The piece is designed to allow the children to notice the colours and textures of items and to allow them to interact with the story being told. The piece that we saw today was a piece devised as if the children were entering into a dream and to experience aspects of that dream, bamboozle were very good in their interaction with the children and I really liked that they introduced the dream world to each child individually. I feel this allows the children to feel part of what is going on and makes them have an individual experience.

There was a lot of visuals to catch the children's attention but also an association with sound and action, some of the actions were introduced with a change in music or the use of a gong. I really enjoyed watching the children react to the performers and watch them in awe at what they were doing. It allows the children to be part of the action if they fee they want to and allow them to gain what they want from the experience. I think the performers interact well with the individuals and if the children don't like so will back off slightly or move to the carer so the child can still what is going on without feeling overwhelmed.
