sample: a small amount of something that gives you information about the thing it was taken from 
 
Sampler is an exciting dance-theatre and music show made by Lyra's Young Company, working with professional theatre, dance and music makers. 
 
Sampler is a celebration of the random and seemingly disconnected fragments that when pieced together give a unique picture of who we are.
 
Inspired by sampling techniques in music and by traditional cross-stitch samplers, the Young Company have turned their identities and emotions into a performance using sampling and samplers as a vehicle for expression. 
 
Sampler is suitable for everyone aged 8 – 12 years and their families.
 
Sampler is supported by Young Start, The Robertson Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation and by Kintry Environmental Trust.
