Untied Artists present the family show The Boy Who Bit Picasso at Riverside Warehouse on 14th February 4pm (Originally co-produced with Oxford Playhouse)
The
Boy Who Bit Picasso is inspired by Antony

story of how Tony spent his childhood with one of the greatest artists who ever
lived.

part in a variety of hands-on art and craft activities, aimed at everyone aged 4
and upwards. There will also be storytelling and music composed by Untied Artists, as children are
introduced to one of the 20th century’s most influential artists.
The Boy Who Bit Picasso is devised and directed by Jake Oldershaw, co-founder of the innovative Untied Artists theatre company. Untied Artists won aFringe First award with their production For Their Own Good, and Intimate History has been performed at renowned arts festivals internationally. Jake’s acclaimed show The Story of the Four Minute Mile was an Oxford Playhouse Production in 2012, taking place on the Iffley Road running track where Roger Bannister first broke the record

The Boy Who Bit Picasso
Suitability
Confident mix of both – suitable for the hearing or visually impaired
Notes for deaf and hearing impaired audiences
We first meet Tony at school, during a maths lesson, and he isn’t having much fun and, escapes through a daydream. Later at his family’s farm an exciting visit from Picasso cheers everyone up. Unfortunately the fun can’t last and Picasso has to go home to France. That night Tony dreams about Picasso and William, the bull that lives on the Penrose’s farm, and the next morning Tony and his mum decide to visit Picasso in France. At Picasso’s curious and entertaining home in the south of France everyone is an artist and the audience play and create pictures with Tony and Picasso. But they can’t stay forever and Tony, his mum and the audience return to England. Tony goes to his new school but he has something to treasure from his time with Picasso, as do all the children in the audience. English, and Basic French and Spanish is spoken. A school bell rings twice. Music and songs are played live, and ambient tracks accompany the art activities. “The Difference Engine” (Live Captioning for mobile devices) available at all shows
Notes for blind and visually impaired audiences
The audience sit in a semi circle around the set. There is a blue and brown wall at one end, with a few doors and windows in it. Through the show these doors open to reveal people, a bull, a view of the south of France. There are moments when the audience draw and paint – bull’s heads/faces/food collages etc. The main change in the set moves from Tony’s farm in England to Picasso’s colourful and messy studio in South France. The characters all wear striped Breton t-shirts there.Near the end of the play Picasso and Tony create different animals out of different everyday objects.

There is a lot that can be done to better support families working in Cardiff. It can be difficult to achieve things by ourselves but together we are stronger and can achieve great things! I look forward to meeting and working alongside many families in Cardiff and getting to know you better. If you are passing South Riverside Community Development Centre please do come say hello.”
