Moulded Theatre  Company present:  Swish!

Swish, swoosh, splosh!

Welcome to the Ocean! Come and join the fun with Dotty, Blue and Olive on the reef – and help them watch out for the strange orange Tangle and other mysterious things that keep appearing in the ocean.

Featuring puppetry, Makaton and plenty of audience interaction, Swish is a playful multisensory exploration of life underwater and the positive ways in which we can reduce plastic in the ocean.

Swish is suitable for complex needs audiences and groups.

About the characters

Dotty

Dotty is based on a Whitespotted Surgeonfish. The small white spots on a surgeonfish mimic bubbles in the sea, creating a camouflage for the fish against predators.

Blue

Blue is based on a Bluespotted Ribbontail Ray. This species of ray can be found living on coral reefs and typically hides itself in the sandy sea bed, sometimes with just their eyes showing!

Olive

Olive is based on an Olive Ridley Turtle. Ghost nets, which are what abandoned fishing nets are called, make up 46% of all the plastic in the oceans. These ghost nets are a real threat to turtles who can become tangled in them, causing injury.
