Little Murmur
Company production | 2021
Currently touring
10-19 January 2025 – New Victory Theater, New York, USA
12 February 2025 – Exeter Northcott Theatre, Exeter, UK
Aakash Odedra Company, Lewis Major Projects and The Spark Arts for Children present Little Murmur by Aakash Odedra. A new dance theatre show for everyone age 7+, families and schools.
Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Aakash found school very challenging. Defined by his learning difficulties, not his abilities, dance became his mode of expression. Combining visual design and technology with dance and humour, Little Murmur explores the warped and exaggerated realities of living in a world you struggle to process. Little Murmur is a stunning visual treat for young audiences and their families. Based on Aakash Odedra’s hugely moving show Murmur, this is an honest and heart felt conversation about the trials and tribulations of living with dyslexia. Watch bodies and words fly like flocks of birds, a murmuration, a little murmur.
Running Time: 35 minutes
