AN innovative new show about the sea and all its creature characters, will feature in an event at Crediton Arts Centre on Saturday, October 9.

Directed by author, poet and singer Nicola Harrison, the show features selkies, mermaids, pirate girls, seahorses, dancing crabs and starfish singing of outer space.

"The Becoming" band creates the music of the sea with intriguing percussion by folk musician Jo May and virtuoso guitar playing by Gerard Cousins.

This oceanic music weaves around poetic words and singing by its creator, Nicola Harrison and the extraordinary sea odyssey that is the centrepiece of this show is shaped by Pete Watson’s accordion soundscape.

Intriguing sea creatures and other evocative characters populate this exquisite ocean journey. Shanty singing, with the audience encouraged to join in if they are comfortable to do so, will be led by Brixham shantymen “Missin’ Tackle”.

You are invited to share in an innovative experience with musical improvisation and interludes to represent the sea in all its guises.

It is an experiential, utterly captivating and fearless representation of the ocean and the wondrous creatures that dwell in it, or live between saltwater and land, between fable and reality. 

"The Becoming" is at Crediton Arts Centre on Saturday, October 9 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available from: www.ticketsource.co.uk/creditonartscentre at £10 (£8 concessions).

Capacity will be limited so you are encouraged to book early for this not-to-be-missed show. Crediton Arts Centre will be operating sensible Covid protocols, and face coverings will be required in certain areas.
