Show Trailer
In parks and squares across the UK this summer, children will be invited to step into the inner sanctum of a bee hive to help solve a honey bee murder mystery as Sophie Bee, champion forager, turns detective to track down the honey bees when they go missing from the Queen Bees birthday party.
Bee Detective is an interactive, multisensory adventure. The action is both spoken and signed, with projected animation and creative captioning making the show both accessible and dynamic. Through vibration effects children will be able to feel the buzzing of the bees, and will be invited to join in the waggle dance that is used by bees to explain where pollen and nectar can be found in the outside world.
The project is one of the twelve new commissions in the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad project, Unlimited - the UKs largest programme celebrating arts, culture and sport by disabled and deaf people. The only childrens show of all the Unlimited commissions Bee Detective is created by Sophie Woolley, who is deaf, and is designed for both deaf and hearing children aged six upwards.
Tin Bath is a theatre company formed by Sophie Woolley and director Gemma Fairlie. The company produces exciting interactive theatre that is accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people. They have created a unique way of captioning theatre that uses animation, graphics, text and visual jokes. The result is part video game, part cartoon and entertaining to all.
