Preschool Shows - Buzz Thump City Jump


BUZZ THUMP CITY JUMP has been in our repertoire for 5 years and appeals to all ages for its physical comedy, use of rhythm and sheer actor energy. Office workers, street cleaners, tourists, shopkeepers and motorists all feature in this day in the life of a city. The show starts with a short lesson in the several signs used in the play, then opens with a signed song. The day begins in earnest with people waking up and rushing to get to work, riding elevators, coping with photocopiers, having lunch and going to the gym. Throughout the show, interaction with the audience adds to the fun.

Duration: 30 minutes
Cost: $3 per student
Min Cost: $300
Performance Requirements: Area 6m x 6m, power points and 30 minute set up time

People have communicated in amazing ways through history. The cavemen and women drew pictures to explain, court jesters made kings laugh using their bodies, Indians used smoke, the Kalahari bushmen use a clicking language and ships used semaphore...Can you imagine what sort of conversation was happening on the bridge of the Titanic when the iceberg hit? The actors of ATOD can, and they show you what might have happened. There is communication. And then there's miscommunication.

This show is hilarious but thought-provoking.
