They know how to start a Tantrum, but do they know how to stop one?
Java Dance Theatre brings you their signature style of interactive dance, theatre and live music.
Inspired by labyrinths, make believe and the games you make up in your lounge, The Tantrum is a treat for the imagination and a little relief for anyone who has ever thrown their toys.
The Tantrum uses music, dance and the imagination to tackle big, difficult, unruly, sticky, hard-to-figure-out, emotions.
