“remarkably bold and visionary...what really shines through is the generosity and constant awareness that the dancers show throughout the performance... the interaction is an uplifting witness to how dance can loosen up more than muscles.”
– The Herald

Playful Tiger is a sensory show for neurodivergent young people. It tells the story of a tiger’s visit to a rigid family home where he turns their world upside down. It’s chaotic but brilliantly fun, with a focus on sensory engagement. Playfulness within the work creates space for a two-way response between the audience and performers—blurring the boundaries as young people become active collaborators both within and beyond the set.

Internationally acclaimed and toured across the UK, Europe and USA, Playful Tiger is celebrated for its spellbinding playfulness and the magical sense of inclusion it creates.
