Children are curious – Why do birds sing, what makes a rainbow, why don’t fish drown in the sea, and why do dogs sniff each other’s bottoms? Curiosity drives the desire to understand, and science attempts to fulfill this desire.

William B Curious sets out to look for the source of sound, the poetry of learning, and the Rainbow at the End of the Science Curriculum. |
|
Footprints in the Sky is the result of a year long project funded by Arts Council England to produce a comic performance for primary age schoolchildren, that stimulates curiosity, and awakens interest in science.

THE SHOW
A
flying walking stick, a honking cushion, a crazy kazoo, and a magic hat, accompany our hero on an adventure into absurdity as he
attempts to unravel the mystery of the Book of Questions on an improbable
but hilarious romp to discover the delightful
comedy to be found in the National Science Curriculum KS 1&2 (mainly
KS 1).
Magic, theatre, poetry and clowning become fused into a performance that takes the audience from curiosity, through laughter, to understanding. *If you would like to see a synopsis of the she show, the follow up work, or any other information please go to the More Information page
Cost per show for schools is £250 plus travel, and accommodation where necessary. Small schools (under 120 pupils) may qualify for a discount. Theatres and other venues POA

"The children were utterly engaged in the performance and brilliantly entertained. As a teacher of twenty years I thought it was phenomenal - certainly one of the best things we have ever had in the school. It concluded our science week superbly, highlighting what science is all about - asking questions! Pitched perfectly - you understand what children need. CG - Science Coordinator |
