Fresh Mix
Created by SCP’s MERGE
Fall into the fuzzy, fragrant and fabulous world of Fresh Mix, an immersive theatre experience that engages your senses! The premiere work from Solo Chicken Productions MERGE artists, this play invites audiences inside the performance to taste, touch, smell, see, hear and play within a zesty and zany dreamworld! Open to all, but created specifically for children with intellectual disabilities and Autism, the show is a multi-sensory experience intended to tickle the senses and evoke memory.
Fresh Mix is a joyful collaboration between Solo Chicken Productions and Black Box Productions, and is created and performed by MERGE artists and St. Thomas University students. Enter our world and join us in Kyra’s Banana Apartment for a banana forward slumber party that leads Kyra and her best friend Bonnie the Banana into a festive fruit adventure. Meet the kooky kiwi’s, party with the pineapples, float through memory with the blueberries, tickle your nose with the apples and meet Grampa Mild and the Cantaloupe Story Miners. A gentle, delightful adventure for all!
About Solo Chicken’s MERGE
MERGE is an initiative created by Solo Chicken Productions that brings together a team of professional artists with and without intellectual and/or physical disabilities, Autism and/or dual diagnosis, whose creative goals are to train, share skills and build a new innovative creative language. MERGE was designed to create Real Work for Real Pay for artists who have been traditionally excluded from the employment sector. All our artists are paid equally and hired because they are the right person for the job.
