Show launch: Let’s Get Wild!

Last weekend, on 20th of July, I launched

Let’s Get Wild! - The best show of shows in the whole wild world!

Having worked on this project for roughly 2 years, it was a joy to let the young people finally experience the show. Let’s Get Wild! teaches them how to protect and care for their wildlife, while giving them a right good time!

Co-creators: Kewaigue Primary School, Year 2s

The audio-immersive adventure went down an absolute storm with the audiences of 5-7 year olds and their families, as well as the school kids that we co-created the show with.

Having had experience creating an audio trail in 2023, I learned a lot about how to engage young people through audio. The key is to keep them ACTIVE as much as possible. As such, Let’s Get Wild! is fully interactive: the young people are always asked to get involved. Whether that’s standing on one leg like a heron, tweeting like birds, or meeting lesser mottled grasshoppers and Elm trees and then becoming them!

A crowd favourite is Whack-A-Poo; where only the three P’s can be flushed down the toilet - Pee, Poo and Paper (cue FART sfx). The kids have to WHACK any objects that don’t go down the toilet.

The weekend wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows - literally. On Saturday, we were met with awful weather. We continued - and props to all the families that came out in the pouring rain to experience a little wildness with us. More on that later.

Next up, ideas of wild kids fest, partnering with wildlife trusts across the UK and taking Let’s Get Wild! to family festivals next year. Until then, the summer tour of Let’s Get Wild! is afoot.
