My Life with the Wave is an inclusive and playful multi-sensory show for young people with disabilities that brings together live dance, theatre and interactive performance with sensory play and emotive storytelling.
We bring the magic of theatre into your school, the performances we create are accessible and inclusive, using music, movement, digital technology and physical interaction to help engage audiences and tell the story, immersing learners in the world of the play.
Our sensory theatre has a transformative impact on learners, giving them opportunities to explore the senses through a compelling storytelling experience.
Told through movement and sensory exploration, the show is a tale of friendship taking audiences on a journey beneath the waves.

“OUTSTANDING!!!!! 2AE from Ripon were fully engaged throughout! Staff and children really enjoyed the performance with the ability to interact with props in the scenes. All performers were exceptional and made it look effortless. They were charming, cheerful, and interacted well with our children. Really glad we got the opportunity to be part of this.”
“An amazing breath-taking performance. All children were engaged and eager to find out what was going to happen next. I loved it how they interacted with the audience. The special effects were amazing. We thought we were actually at the beach!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Our whole form sat through the whole show and was absolutely mesmerised, they spoke about it all day!”
“How abstract and realism can play together & emotions can be touched. I really enjoyed how it assumed intelligence on many levels…”
“Completely Unique, An Incredible Sensory Experience Unlike Anything The Children Have Encountered Before”
