An immersive, multi-sensory dance and performance installation by Hayley Earlam, designed for audiences with complex needs aged 10-18, featuring dance, sound, video and snow.
Brrr is at Tramway on Saturday 5 December, with two performances that morning at 11.30am and 1pm. It's a new multi-sensory installation and live performance by choreographer Hayley Earlam, made for audiences with complex needs aged 10-18. The whole thing is set inside an inflatable dome, an immersive exploration of winter built from dance, sound, video and plenty of snow, created in collaboration with young people.
What makes it work is how it's structured. Every performance is shaped by the audience in the room, so it's a gentle, responsive space where people engage at their own pace. Capacity is limited to eight young people plus accompanying adults, which keeps it small and manageable. It's designed for those with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), autistic and neurodivergent individuals and wheelchair users, and it relies on minimal to no language, so it works for non-verbal, Deaf and non-English-speaking audiences too.
There's a fair bit of Glasgow in its making. The work was created in association with Capital Theatres, with support from Creative Scotland, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's Innovation Studio and The Work Room's Residency Programme. Earlier developments were backed by Imaginate, Scottish Dance Theatre and the Love Dance Scotland bursary, with creative consultation from students and staff at Isobel Mair School and Kingspark School.
