SYNOPSIS

Director Clare Bartholomew
Speaker Emma Serjeant

<Splash Test Dummies> follows the Dummies on an aquatic adventure from the beach to the bathtub, under the sea and home again. We start out at the beach with a game of volleyball that quickly explodes to include the audience as a giant volleyball bounces in and out of the crowd. The Dummies decide to go swimming but first have a slapstick time putting on their swimming caps. There’s a lot of silliness before they are finally ready. They realise that in their swimming costumes they look remarkably like bodybuilders? and the scene evolves into an acrobatic routine where they show off their strength. Ready for the water, they parody a synchronised swimming routine riding unicycles before heading to the shower where bath time madness ensues to the tune of Rubber Ducky! Fun and games continue until the Dummies are sucked down the plug with the bath water!
Underwater they see fish, crabs, and other sea creatures and spend time exploring the deep with mini hoop routines, shadow puppets, and some juggling thrown in! Emerging from the waves, the adventure concludes with a spectacular water skiing ride with an acrobatic twist. The show is a non-stop, hour-long rollercoaster ride for children and their families that sparks the imagination and leaves everyone smiling.
