Combining Science Communication with Circus Showmanship, this immersive performance reveals the story of our Earth via the rocks beneath our feet. New for 2020, the two-person production has been produced for the museum, heritage and science education market and combines Helen’s graphic design and artistic interpretation skills with Steve’s training as a geologist and love of fossils.
Join The Rock Showman and Floss on a theatrical journey that explores the Geological time. Audiences get hands-on to uncover rocks, minerals, fossils and dinosaurs, but more importantly – to find out what the past can tell us about our future.
Through the unique shows and an immersive mobile museum – the format combines hands-on activity with educational performance. The travelling ‘Showman’s Booth’ is a 6m hexagonal gazebo illustrated with rich design including artistic elements and scientific reference. The accompanying rock, mineral and fossil collection gives the public an opportunity to handle and observe samples that would normally only be seen behind glass in Museums.
