Gurgle, Splash! (Arts in the Parks)

Gurgle, Splash! combines aerial dance, physical theatre, puppetry and object manipulation to showcase a fantastical and whimsical underwater world. The world famous eccentric Peasblossom has discovered a mysterious occurrence in the middle of Flagstaff Park: once in a long while at the height of summer, a rare occurrence creates an extraordinary oceanic microclimate right here in the park. This feast for the eyes has never before been witnessed and Peasblossom is excited to share these discoveries as all kinds of astonishing sea species gather. It is his fondest desire to share these wonders and highlight the importance of the delicate and magical underwater world that stretches across our planet to audiences of all ages.

Community members will have the opportunity to join social circus ambassadors SoCirC for free workshops before the shows, where they will be introduced to circus skills such as juggling, object manipulation, and balancing. Participants who choose to will also have the opportunity to perform their newfound skills at that evening’s show.
