The Tantrum

Java Dance Theatre premieres The Tantrum, a new show, for Capital E National Theatre for Children’s Bite-Size Treats.

Meet the Tantrum that jumps onto your back, hides in your cupboard, eats all your snacks and messes up your room when you least expect it. This tantrum is wild, mischievous, stubborn and wants to be right by your side all day.

Join Java Dance Theatre’s dancers and musician as they tackle the Tantrum! What does the Tantrum really want? Does it need a hug or a milo or a dinosaur with glitter on it? Watch dancers tie themselves in knots and musicians bend over backwards as they try their very best to find out.
