Children's aerial dance treat at Theatre at the Mill

Strange Feathers is aimed at children from 18 months – 7 years. The story is based on two little birds learning to fly with the help of their surroundings in nature. With two aerial dancers and a musician on stage Strange Feathers mixes contemporary dance, aerial dance and live music in a humorous way. Feathers drop from the sky to the beautiful sounds of soft music in this beautifully crafted and exquisitely delivered show. Strange Feathers is full of unexpected and colourful wonders, which invite the children to explore, interact and discover new things about their world!
