Our first kinaesthetic shows took place in the hydrotherapy pools of specialist schools, starting with Bubbles. We discovered lots of benefits of working in the water: the performers can be close-up and eye-to-eye – not always possible on dry land – and the warm water can feel more comfortable and supportive for young people with limited mobility.
