Who and What are Sound Catchers?
Presented by Broadway Arts & Tech for Nottingham Light Night 2024.
The Sound Catchers are ‘otherworldly’ beings visiting the planet Earth to learn about its human inhabitants through their unique senses using sound and movement.
Find the Sound Catchers outside Broadway and roaming Hockley for a playful exploration of what it means to communicate and belong as they negotiate this strange new environment.
A fun, interactive show with live percussion, dance and cutting-edge digital technologies that all can join in with!
