Tac-au-Tac Dance Theatre ltd

99 Wytham Street, Oxford OX1 4TN

This lovely little show for “3-to-93-year-olds” was great fun for all the children there, irrespective of their size!

The dancers…were splendid, as were the costumes and the set… (Oxford Times)

Drawing on 20 years of experience in teaching contemporary dance and creative workshops to children, Tac-au-Tac's dancers devised and choreographed this lyrical narrative dance piece for very young children (from 3 years old)

Set in a 1950's kitchen, Washing Day was inspired by nonsense poetry. On washing day, two little girls play hide and seek amongst the piles of washing when some of the items of clothing take on gigantic proportions. Trousers try to read Mum's newspaper, Blouse organises a tea party and searches for a missing Button, Button is enjoying the taste of freedom... and Top Hat is trying to keep law and order!

Length of the show: 40 minutes without interval.

Dancers:	Joy Constantinides as Button
	Galina Kalicin as Girl 1, Trousers and Blouse Melanie Newman as Girl 2, Trousers and Blouse Joëlle Pappas as Mum and Hat
